As global tensions rise and NATO allies modernize their fleets, Canada faces pressure to invest in new submarines and upgrade the military, but I have to ask, is that really the smartest move?
In my opinion, ”I will plead my case to you, the reader, whether spending billions on outdated underwater hardware and thinking makes sense in today’s age of drones, AI warfare, and cyber defence.”
Lisa Kelly from ‘Ice Road Truckers‘ is a prime example of women breaking barriers. Lisa gained a legion of female fans while appearing on the “Ice Road Truckers” series. She also inspired women to get into the trucking industry and keep going in this male-dominated field.

I’ve started a bucket list of places to visit in Canada. Somewhere close to home, and places I’ve never been before. During my research (but not amazement), I discovered there are hundreds of options for interesting day-trippin’ adventures in our area that I’ve not seen.
While reading a newspaper article that mentioned the HMCS ‘Margaret Brooke’, a Canadian Arctic Patrol Ship, was visiting Owen Sound between October 3–5, 2025, I thought, “It’s official, that’s going on my bucket list!”
