A pair of small hands holding a beige envelope addressed in red crayon to "Santa Claus, North Pole, HOH OHO". The return address in the top left reads "123 Main St, Anytown, A1A 1A1 ON". A small stamp is in the top right corner. A pink crayon lies on the dark table nearby, with another child's drawing partially visible in the background.

When a few Canada Post employees in Vancouver started answering letters to Santa in the early-1970s, it eventually led to the most famous postal code in Canada.
H0H 0H0.
Each year, thousands of letters to Santa from around the world are answered.
This is the story.

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

The black-and-white photo shows Canadian soldiers on a landing craft during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. The soldiers, wearing helmets and military gear, are preparing to disembark as the craft approaches the beach. Two crew members at the rear are marked with "R.C.N." (Royal Canadian Navy) and "L.C.O. 140" on their backs. Waves crash against the boat, and larger ships are visible in the background, indicating the scale of the operation. The atmosphere is tense, capturing a pivotal moment in World War II.

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history.
Here are Canadians stories from that day.

MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT

Elon Musk’s Reign of Terror Is Only Just Beginning His “departure” from the government is anything but.

“The real reason he’s ‘leaving’ (or ‘quiet quitting’) is that he’s spent the last 4 months as a ‘special government employee,” a distinction with a 130-day time limit. Were he to continue working in the same capacity, he would be required by law to fill out certain financial & ethical disclosures…”
