Nazis Landed in New York State
Damn Interesting has a bit of history from WWII. Also interesting is that it was written from Saskatchewan.

And a bit of Canadian technology landed on Mars on Sunday!
Some great photos and history of Saskatchewan
Rural History has a blog in Saskatchewan. There are good photos and quotes of famous people, around the site.
Check out the upcoming Gardiner debate with the KKK re-enactment. It’s taking place in Lemberg later this Summer.

Meanwhile, it’s getting harder to photograph trains. I don’t think walking down tracks should be encouraged, and probably should be discouraged, yet there are many places where it’s not any more dangerous to cross than at a street. A huge stretch of track in downtown Yorkton isn’t fenced off, because it makes no sense to walk about 3 blocks in either direction to cross the tracks to the residential homes just to the south. If they hand out any tickets there, there will be many fuming people. My hunch is this is at least as much an attempt at cracking down on vandals, and drifters, as it is for safety. CN police had better use discretion when handing out fines, or this will be a PR disaster for the rail company.
91 Years Ago Today
Our nation’s international reputation was forged in the fire of trench warfare. We’ve come a long way. So long, that I think few Canadians could pick out April 9th as a turning point in our history. I’m talking about the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
