A recent news report says Canada’s defence planners are working on how the country could rapidly expand its forces in a national emergency.

The planning includes non traditional roles and mentions older Canadians and people who might not meet full combat fitness standards.

If the country asked for volunteers under this kind of plan, would you step forward?

Why or why not?

I am trying to get back into watching hockey again, but the digital rink board ads are making it surprisingly difficult. When they slide or flicker my eyes snap to them instead of the play, and I end up losing sight of the puck, especially when it goes behind the net.

I cannot tell if this is an attention or sensory issue on my end or if the broadcasts have simply become more visually aggressive.

For people who watch regularly: Do the shifting digital ads distract you too, or do you barely notice them anymore?

I am genuinely trying to enjoy hockey again but my focus gets pulled away every few seconds and I am wondering how others experience this.

Question from https://lemmy.ca/u/OliveMoon

I saw a new MeidasCanada video with Charlie Angus sitting inside Molly’s Reach and it actually surprised me that the place is still around. I always assumed it had disappeared like most old Canadian TV landmarks.

If you watched the video, what did you think of seeing that place still operating in 2025? How many still people remember the Beachcombers?

When you tell your doctor about drinking, smoking, exercise or your diet, how much of that stays in your medical record in Canada? Can those notes ever affect the care you get in the future?

I’m wondering how much honesty actually matters here and whether lifestyle notes quietly shape decisions later on.

Harper didn’t disappear after leaving office, he became chair of the International Democracy Union, a global alliance of right-wing parties that includes Netanyahu’s Likud and the U.S. Republican Party. That same network now ties a former Canadian Prime Minister to political movements led by a sitting leader on trial for corruption and a sitting U.S. president convicted on felony counts. Who’s really running the Conservatives, and is there a Liberal equivalent?
