1.1 Billion on consultants… let that sink in… over ONE MILLION dollars a day spent on consultants… That’s your taxpayer money wasted in epic proportions…

@deAdder Hauled out of Hub Meat Packers when I was with Hillmans back in the 90’s

I have a barely middle class background. If we didn't have a mother who could turn a nickel into a dime, we would have been lower class. My family were all working class. Farmers, labourers, fishers, miners, factory workers. My dad sold office equipment. My mother worked in a nursing home. My first jobs in order were CN Rail tie gang, forklift operator, and to get through university, I worked at Hub Meat Packers loading beef and pork onto trucks. I know what it's like to work for a living.

@landofthe80s Spy Hunter

You're down to your last quarter, which video game are you playing?

@robmac_21 @landofthe80s That was a .50 - .75 game at my local arcade

@Social_Moi Aaaand it’s gone… youtu.be/-DT7bX-B1Mg?si…

NOT A SINGLE OIL WELL?!?!?! SHAME ON YOU #ABGOV. Alberta taxpayers want that money back. Pronto.

@HelmutSteger2 @CWHM Forest Protection NB had a large fleet of them for water bombing, aerial spraying, etc. Loved hearing those big radial engines when they passed overhead. facebook.com/share/14XwKNrT…

@CWHM I heard some were used as water bombers after the war.

GREAT NEWS! Our Avenger is officially ready to take to the skies! Congrats to the entire volunteer restoration crew along with our Engineering staff. The first flight will take place once the weather gets warmer.

@FrankReardon1 Except for the fried egg, I’m in go everything else! Looks delicious

This is what's on the plate 🍽️ 1. Coconut Rice 2. Fried Egg 3. Sambal 4. Cucumber Slices 5. Fried Anchovies 6. Peanuts 7. Beef Rendang 8. Fried Patty (I Never eat this-Non GF) 9. Mixed Pickled Vegetable

I could not resist having this for breakfast today in Singapore 🇸🇬 "Nasi Lemak With Beef Rendang" This is one of my favorite things to eat. It's traditionally eaten for breakfast in Singapore 🇸🇬 & Malaysia 🇲🇾 The uncle was very generous 😊 🙏 FEB.9.2026 #FranksSoloAdv2026🛫

@bearmccreary Yes, but only because I’m a Richie Blackmore fan as well.

12 years ago this week, Black Sails premiered. Be honest. Had you ever heard a hurdy gurdy before this?

@gguworld That was a great walk back thru time, thanks! While Smoke on the Water was the fave of most, I was hooked by Highway Star..classic Deep Purple. Weis Heim was another classic. It was tragic hearing of Jon’s passing a few years ago, he and Ritchie were close friends

Throwback Thursday: Ritchie Blackmore 1/5: Roots (1945–1968) Born April 14, '45, Blackmore trained in classical guitar and played as a '60s session musician for Joe Meek and The Outlaws. In '68, he co-founded Deep Purple. Their first TV gig reimagined The Beatles' "Help," hinting at future flair.

@FrankReardon1 Take care of yourself, we would miss our northern reporter!

No photos today 😞 Have not been feeling well for a few months now. That's why I started biking to try and get myself healthier ❤️‍🩹. Monday I will go into the OR and see what's going on. Not looking forward to it 💉😷 🏥

@CraigBaird Seek out @DaleJarvis when you reach eastern NL, he is an amazing folklorist and will give you plenty to write about. And if timing is right, do his @SJHauntedHike for the spookier happenings of old St Johns. Highly recommended!

Two weeks from today, I embark on my Cross-Canada adventure. I will be spending 55 days car and tent camping with the goal of reaching St. John's and back. Along the way, I will share stories of Canada's history and interview Canadians for a new project. Will visit BC in Sept.

@JeffreykBrace I remember them on the highways in the 70’s out between Deep Bight and Clarenville when they were working on the roads

I know I'm no teenager.... but I vaguely recall these in use! Crazy how the world has changed

@amtraverse I’ve been over people for a couple years now, welcome to the club

@ThatKevinWoron @Feisty_Waters Was looking to see if anyone mentioned Danger Bay

@Feisty_Waters Currently loving Son of a Critch Other CANCON TV faves Hilarious House of Frightenstein Everything’s Coming Up Rosie Danger Bay (Lil’ bro guested on an episode) Arctic Air Tom Stone (I did a wee bit of work for it) Letterkenny/Shoresy Run the ‘Burbs

The wider release of North of North on Netflix has me thinking about some of my favourite Canadian shows, so let's do a thread! Here's some of mine, please add your faves too. Schitt's Creek Kim's Convenience Workin' Moms Slings and Arrows Twitch City Due South Kids in the Hall

@CraigBaird My mind first went to Bill Miner, another piece of Canadiana, before I read further.

On this day in 1865, Jack Miner was born. From his property in Ontario, he established one of the first bird sanctuaries in North America. His efforts likely saved many bird species from extinction. He has been called the father of North American Conservation. 🧵1/11

@TweetsByDre88 3/ an old ski hill that was turned into a bike park and draws people from all over New England, NB, NS, and QUE. But I guess the foam run was the best they could come up for Marble 🤷‍♂️

Maybe if they rename Marble Mountain something fun like "Arse butte" some rich dude will buy it for his son as a joke then their eccentric family will move here and revitalize the ski resort

@TweetsByDre88 2/ and downhill mountain biking in the summer. When I was into downhill biking, I met families at different resorts that planned their whole summer vacations around which hill they were going to. Having the lift there makes it all possible. Highland Mtn Bike Park in NH was

@TweetsByDre88 1/ Several people have put forwards ideas on how to revitalize that place, I went on CBC Corner Brook with Denise Hillier speaking about how Chris Mitchelmore should have gone on a junket to Whistler, BC to see how they run basically year round with skiing in the winter..

@Ser88811 @airmainengineer I was thinking Progressive Aerodyne Searey amphib.

@airmainengineer Zenith STOL CH 701 ?

Do you know what happened here?✈️

@airmainengineer @KPasshole Looks possibly like Progressive Aerodyne Searey

@KPasshole Do you this aircraft type?
