Please arrive at your appointment 15 minutes early so you can fill out the same forms you filled out online and then be asked the same questions when the doctor actually sees you.

They engineer it and then they troll us about it. This recession won't last long but that action won't be forgotten.

[Spencer Fernando @SpencerFernando]

The leader of Canada’s largest trading partner has openly spoken about taking actions meant to coerce Canada into giving up its sovereignty. That is a factor that must be considered when assessing Canada’s recent slip into recession.

@C_E_R_82 🤦

[b r ü c e @BruceFraser]

@brockm that was bold Mike, but the hit to the ol' credibility is gonna sting for a while

[b r ü c e @BruceFraser]

@TCotie @CanadianPM @USAmbCanada He's certainly useless, as well as being an irritating and undiplomatic diplomat. He needs to be sent packing

[b r ü c e @BruceFraser]

@CanadianPM it is well past time to summon @USAmbCanada to Ottawa and have him explain his undiplomatic actions and remarks. And then preferably send him back to the US.

43 years ago today: a watershed event on aviation safety

June 2 1983: Air Canada Flight 797, a DC-9, suffers an onboard fire over Kentucky (USA). The crew was able to make an emergency landing, but 23 of 46 aboard died in a flash fire on the ground. The accident became a case study for safety regulations, namely on cabin evacuation and fire detection. More details below

The jet experienced an in-flight fire that originated near the rear lavatory. The fire spread between the outer skin and inner decorative panels, filling the cabin with toxic smoke. It also burned through critical electrical cables, disabling most cockpit instrumentation and forcing a diversion to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

90 seconds after landing, when the doors were opened, the influx of fresh oxygen caused a backdraft. The interior was rapidly engulfed in flames, killing 23 passengers—half of those on board—who were unable to evacuate.

The accident prompted major changes to global aviation regulations. New requirements included smoke detectors in lavatories, floor proximity lighting for exit paths, enhanced firefighting training and equipment for crew, and updated evacuation procedures.

Aircraft manufacturers must now demonstrate that their aircraft can be fully evacuated within 90 seconds, and passengers seated at overwing exits are required to assist in emergencies.

Among the fatalities was Canadian folk musician and songwriter Steve Rogers. He was only 33 at the time. Also killed was George Curtis Mathes Jr., whose company “Curtis Mathes Corporation” famously marketed color TV sets in the 1970s.

@USAmbCanada And you wonder why we're pissed off. Fuck off back to the US, among the other juvenile trolls that make up the american government.

[b r ü c e @BruceFraser]

@CTVNews Wait. Thought he said that tariffs were paid by other countries and that they were making America great again.

Absolute clown show

Man. The Backrooms was fantastic. If you're a fan of the youtube videos, this preserves that vibe very well. The longer runtime and actual narrative built on that.

Disorienting, distressing, and unsettling.

Going in to the Backrooms. Hopefully I make it out.

@heretodestroy yeah it was a great show. last time i saw them was in Montreal at the Spectrum in '91

[b r ü c e @BruceFraser]

Great metal show last night in Halifax. Local bands Breakneck and Ritual Warfare opened the show with some hardcore and thrash.

Primitive Man slowed things down with their abrasive doom.

Napalm Death then shook the house with some frenzied grindcore.

Very enthusiastic crowd!

@TCotie I survived! But will be laying low today. Out wayy past my bedtime!
