On April 12, 1945, Canadian soldiers Léo Major and Wilfrid Arsenault entered Zwolle to scout German defenses.
By the next day, the Germans were gone and the Régiment de la Chaudière liberated the city without firing a shot.
This is the story of the Rambo of Quebec.

🧵 1/10
Wilfrid Arsenault and Léo Major stand on a wooden swing set beneath a leafy tree. Wilfrid Arsenault, on the left, wears a military uniform with a beret, standing with one foot on the swing’s lower bar and his hands clasped in front. Léo Major, on the right, wears a suit and tie, holding the swing rope with one hand while resting a foot on the lower bar. A wooden fence and open yard are visible behind them, with sunlight creating clear shadows on the ground.

The Skerwink Trail in Trinity, Newfounland 🇨🇦 is so magical. Alone on our early morning foggy walk, the every turn was a surreal, beautiful, peaceful discovery.

View of the water past a lone evergreen with sun shining and a little fog still in the air Trail wanders through the woods where green ferns grow and the trail is flanked on one side by stone. There are wooden steps that lead to somewhere not visible at this point in the trail. There are points in the trail where you can stop and see the view - and maybe some whales. The view is stone cliffs with evergreens on top. A foggy day meant for a surreal experience at the cliff opening in the trail. For those interested in going, it is not a long hike up to the top. The trail doesn't have large changes in escalation as you are basically starting at the top of the cliff. There are a few ups and down but it is not a challenging 5 km.

Here's a short list of communicable diseases that were once devastating but we rarely think of anymore in Canada, thanks to public health victories of the past.

paris proves it: when we stop designing cities for cars and start designing them for people, the air clears, the streets come alive, and life gets better. less smog, more green. less noise, more joy. fewer fumes, more kids playing safely. this isn't some hippy dream, it's a choice.

Think about all the things that can fit when we just stop surrendering most of our urban space to cars.

Not just other ways of getting around. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Urban life can fit.

Before and after of Paris street, space that used to have cars now has people walking, on bikes, eating etc.

5/ We deal with water and shit and sanitation effectively, but continue to ignore air, which is how covid, TB and other diseases are transmitted. As @dfisman.bsky.social put it so well "Air is the new poop." we have to get serious about design for cleaner air. lloydalter.substack.com/p/we-have-th...
We have think about air quality the way we do about water
We have to get serious about cleaning it up, managing it and measuring what's in it, because air is the new poop.

Magical Christmas market @ Schloss Merode in Germany. A beautiful setting, campfires, handmade goods and great food and gluhwein - all without the crowds of the more popular markets. So very special & a great way to celebrate a bday! #TravelAddicts #ChristmasMarkets #SchlossMerode #germany
Vendors surround castle at this unique Christmas market Great sausages that you can order at a beautiful wooden stall. The castle is lit up for the Christmas season The walk to the market is a walk through the woods.
