From the CBC:
COURSEULLES-SUR-MER, France - The sun was shining on the beaches of Normandy Thursday morning as a Canadian ceremony to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day got underway in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his French counterpart Gabriel Attal and Prince William were among dignitaries visiting Juno Beach, where flags bearing the maple leaf fluttered in a gentle breeze.
Lest We Forget.
Episode 398, Thurs June 6, D-Day, 2024, Here, We, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
On Episode 398 of our show, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Friend of The Beaver Lodge, military historian Hugh Culliton, joins us to share facts, stories, and perspectives on the day, how important it was to our standing in the world as a nation, and what we should retain from the events in the current era.
The Daily Beaver Morning Show is broadcast LIVE (most of the time), weekdays at 7-ish a.m. Eastern. Our take on the news is the purrr-fect thing for The Best #DAMFAM in all podcasting™, Canadians on-the-go who want to stay engaged.
Until next time, be kind to — and gentle with — yourselves,
Your Eager Beaver and Mr. Grizzly

Not everyone can do everything. But everyone can do something. Because #DemocracyIsSomethingYouDo...
Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer. And tell them you want them to do more to house the homeless.
If you live in Alberta, get involved in canvassing for the AB NDP Leadership race. If you are in Saskatchewan or New Brunswick, why not look into working at a polling station this coming election?
With the current strain on our health care professionals, do the right neighbourly thing to keep our hospitals unclogged and be sure to get your summer COVID boosters. Also check whether you are up to date on your MMR vaccinations.
Finally, support your fellow Canadians by donating to the Red Cross Wildfire Response.
