Why is this Canadian Flag at half mast? When I saw a kid we always knew why. It would be on the radio and talked about by all. Now no one knows & it’s value is at its lowest point. If I ask 100 people I bet no one would know. A quick search online nothing. Anyone know?

🌲 Did you know that 99.999999% of people visiting Stanley Park never even find this hidden spot? There’s an old wartime pillbox above Siwash Rock, a secret lookout most folks never see. I took a little video from up there, check out the view that almost no one knows about! 📹✨ That pillbox above Siwash Rock in Stanley Park actually dates back to wartime days. It was originally used as a lookout and a kind of coastal defense installation. During World War I, the area around Siwash Rock was known as “Fort Siwash,” and they actually stationed an artillery battery there. By World War II, they added searchlights to that spot, too. Interestingly, there’s a quirky bit of history: for about 17 years, a man actually lived in a nearby cave near the rock, only taking a break when he went overseas for war service. So that pillbox is basically a little remnant of Vancouver’s coastal defense history, and it’s got some neat stories behind it!

🚢 Rare sighting in #Vancouver! A submarine is docked at the shipyards right now! 🛳️ No tours, but definitely worth a visit! #NorthVan HMCS Corner Brook (SSK 878) is a Victoria-class diesel-electric attack submarine operated by the Royal Canadian Navy. Here’s a quick rundown: Origins & Service •Originally built for the British Royal Navy as HMS Ursula (S42) and commissioned in 1992. •Decommissioned by the UK in 1994, then acquired by Canada in 1998 and renamed HMCS Corner Brook, after the town in Newfoundland and Labrador. Incidents & Maintenance •In June 2011, Corner Brook struck the ocean floor during an exercise off Vancouver Island, suffering significant damage. •This led to a long refit period beginning in 2014, involving structural repairs and upgrades. •While in drydock at CFB Esquimalt in April 2019, a fire broke out onboard. It was contained but delayed the sub’s return to service. Status •As of now, it has spent more time in refit and repair than in operational service. •The sub is expected to return to active duty, but it’s also part of the aging Victoria-class fleet, which Canada is planning to replace. Future Plans •In July 2024, Canada announced plans to acquire up to 12 new conventionally powered submarines with under-ice capability as part of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project, aimed at replacing subs like HMCS Corner Brook. If you saw “EST À QUAI,” that’s French for “is docked” or “is alongside the quay,” meaning the sub is currently in port, not at sea.

🎬 Just out for a walk… stumbled onto a full-on commercial shoot for the Google Pixel 10 📱 They had a macro probe lens, a Panavision rig, and 20+ crew members… to film someone holding a phone 😂 If the Pixel camera’s so good, why not just use it? 👀 #BTS #Vancouver
