Auction lore you waited long enough😁 Little Story My Precious😉 In 1990 followIng a prolonged investigation which extended internationally, the RCMP swooped in on a little community called Irelands Eye. It’s located on the north east coast of Random island in Nefoundland

@JimCaseNL best of luck

First things first for the wildfire evacuation. Got the Fendor Stratocaster, the Taylor 300 and the Norman 12 string. Plus a trombone and three cases of wine. Got my passport...somewhere... 😜

The Sisters of Mercy plot at Belvedere Cemetery. The Foundress of the Newfoundland chapter of the religious order, Sister Antonio Egan, gets a small pedestal. They educated so many.

🏀 Canada!! Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins MVP joining 🇨🇦 Steve Nash.

Holy cow, Italy rolled out the red carpet for Canada. And gotta say, extremely impressed with this rendition of O Canada. Usually other countries do a half assed, piss poor version of it. Not Italy! This is perfection! Thank you Italy!

@MadelnCanada Canadian Tire would be wise to only HBC-stripe products that are Made-in-Canada.

Canadian Tire is proud to announce that HBC stripes is now part of the Canadian Tire family! Some things are just meant to stay Canadian ❤️🇨🇦

@JimCaseNL They become part of our lives.

Yesterday, our handsome, big boy left us. We are heartbroken. Never was a wolfhound so loved. He will be missed by us and his sister, Belle. He lived a good life with the sun on his face and the sound of the ocean always in his ears. Rest in peace dear, gentle Tully.

@nytimes @TheAthleticFC Hold the draw in Toronto.

From @TheAthleticFC: FIFA is pursuing Las Vegas to host the draw for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico — but also discussed holding the event in Washington, D.C., if it made it easier for President Trump to participate. nyti.ms/43QVjQI

@TheCleanCarClub OR - you just get a Robertson (square head) screw and driver, as we Canadians use.

Useful tip

Trumpism has replaced conservatism’s core values with just one: the raw pursuit of power. @nytdavidbrooks on how the conservative movement dies: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@MtarfaL This picture is in St. John's harbour, which was the key corvette base in the western Atlantic.

2/25 Historical Context Corvettes historically bridged the gap between frigates and smaller patrol craft. The Flower-class, introduced in 1939, was designed for coastal duties but adapted for oceanic warfare. Its story reflects the exigencies of war and the ingenuity of pragmatic engineering.

The Flower-Class Corvette: A Study in Simplicity, Strength, and Evolution 1/25 Introduction to the Flower-Class Corvette Flower-class corvette, a modest warship of World War II, epitomised utility over grandeur. Built by the Royal Navy and its allies, it served as a small but vital escort vessel. This thread (as requested) examines its design, strengths, weaknesses, wartime role, and legacy as a test bed for future naval platforms.

@CraigBaird And d'Iberville also did the rape and pillage tour of the Avalon Peninsula of Eastern Newfoundland.

Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville (1661 - 1706): He captured three of the four Hudson's Bay Company forts on Hudson Bay. He later captured York Factory, which remained in French hands for a decade and a half. He also conducted raids during King William's War. 🧵3/16

@ChrisDJackson Well at least she can push buttons.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his Fox News producer wife to a NATO meeting on Ukraine and a classified Pentagon briefing with the UK Defense Secretary, per WSJ. No clearance. No job. Massive national security breach. He needs to resign — now.

@terryoinfluence In Newfoundland most lobster are consumed either at home or group gatherings, and not in restaurants. Mothers Day is busiest day for lobster sales. Also Good Friday is the biggest day of the year for fish & chips shops.

Today on Under The Influence we ask an interesting question. What is the busiest day of the year for: Pizza delivery. Plumbers. Dating apps. Sex. Weddings. Fire departments. Airbnb. Taxis. Vets. The answers are surprising. 11:30am CBC Radio

@thenewarea51 Aren't they on the same side? Seems that way.

The wildest intercept video I’ve ever seen. A F/A-18F and F-35C escort a Ilyushin Il-38N low level past the USS Carl Vinson. 🤯 Do you think they did the whole SEDLO SEDLO SEDLO. DELTA ECHO. IVORY EAGLE thing over the radio?

I'm they'd be cashed at any bank or store in St. John's, but out around the bay, not so sure. Newfoundland had its own currency.

My cabin is on Turk's Gut Long Pond. During WW1, Newfoundland Regiment fought the Turks at Galipoli. So Turk's Gut became Georgetown on the Protestant side of the river and Marysvale on the Catholic side. The pond name stayed. The Regiment added Royal.
