An air strip according to Google Maps.

They do also have a hilariously named hiking path called the Whale Trail.

Just received my new passport in the mail. Damn, they look nice. Crammed with security features. The images on the new passport are pretty boring. I really liked the old passports. Important, iconic Canadian symbols, like the Bluenose, RCMP Musical Ride, Fathers of Confederation, Terry Fox, Last Spike, Northwest Passage, Niagara Falls, etc. Maybe the next few will be better. I’m hoping for another three before I have to say, MG1 Out!

Centenarian.

Oops, two more. I’m the first asian in recorded history to suck at math.

Have you hit the passport with a UV light? New images vs the uv ones on the old passport.

You guys have to try this native language bot. You basically speak to it and it'll tell you the make up of your native language.

It seems pretty accurate for the people who tried it.

I expected it to pick up some Chinese accent, since pretty much everyone I speak to in English except my wife and sister are Cantonese with ESL, so you kind of pick up those accents to allow yourself to be understood better.

But Swedish? Maybe it creates a weird hybrid that confuses the system lol

Great marketing tactic for their app, doesn't even matter if it's accurate or not just the fact it's being shared in channels like this is paying off.
