From #RankinInlet, #Nunavut, living in the #Battlefords, #Saskatchewan since 2008. Lucky to have the most amazing wife, and we have the most wonderful three daughters. An #Inuk in #TreatySixTerritory. I love #OpenSource software, dabbling in graphic design and video editing, and #cooking. I love the #Leafs, it is a struggle. But, I enjoy it.
It's easy to start programming with microcontrollers. Do you remember these project kits? I do—it's how I got started learning about electronics and circuits!
In today's video I made a remote control that explodes things! How? Not magic, but microcontrollers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd42q3OaOrE

“Canada claims it is responding to pressure from the United States — the so-called “bully”. But in doing so, Canada is using that as an excuse to bully our Nations... We are not opposed to building, but we will never be bullied and pushed aside.”

I am trying to find some good video of #PrinceRupert #BritishColumbia because we are interested in using the #CanadaStrongPass for our family to travel from #Jasper #Alberta to Prince Rupert on #VIArailCanada
There aren't many videos and not many good ones. But, I did come across this interesting one about #CanadaC3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVJ739zLzKM&t=1
Canada C3 looks like that was awesome I'm disappointed I didn't hear about this back in 2017.
Maybe with more people #travelling by #train this summer with #VIArail and the #CanadaStrongPass people will want more rail options. #Western and #northern #Canada needs more #rail options.
