Some of these patches I’ve had for two decades, others were collected in recent years (been finished for 2+ yrs). A collection of some of my favourite bands going back to the earliest days of ‘96-97. Theme: Satanic, subversive, provocative and transgressive.

The Vinland flag is a Type O Negative design, I’m Canadian, and I’ve visited the actual site the vikings had a settlement at, which is in Canada. Every patch has a dual/multi layered meaning for me.

I like it, have had it for years, also took a few years to collect and sew everything. Pics 3-4 are the flanks with each patch being the same size on either side from larger to smaller.

Canada continues to back Israel's genocide — diplomatically and materially. Canadian parts are used in Israel's F-35 fleet, which is used to bomb civilians. Hamas and Hezbollah emerged from decades of Israeli aggression, yet Canada's "two-state solution" demands Palestine have no military — while Israel faces no such condition. Israel maintains a nuclear arsenal, were selling uranium to China and India two nuclear armed nations, but Iran has to bow to western hegemony?

At the G7, Carney was asked if the war was "worth it in Canada's view." He replied: "Moving to this position, where that's been taken off the table. Yes, that's worth it."

Two Canadians were killed in Lebanon — including Hassan Haidar, a father of five, killed in an Israeli drone strike.

Over 7,100 dead across Iran and Lebanon:

Dead & Injured
Iran 3,468+ 26,500+
Lebanon 3,783+ 11,699+

Over 3 million displaced in Iran. Over 1 million displaced in Lebanon.

Infrastructure in Iran & Lebanon
Schools damaged/destroyed 1,489+ Nearly 450 used as shelters
Hospitals/medical centres 430+ targeted, 62+ damaged/closed

International experts repeatedly stated Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon. 60% enrichment falls short of weapons-grade. Iran issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons decades ago. This is U.S. policy and propaganda — and Canada is parroting it.

If Pierre Poilievre can be criticized for backing the Venezuelan operation, hold Carney to the same standard.

If you’re cool with atrocities and unimaginable suffering we have nothing to say.

You might be able to draw an inferred opinion but I’m relating facts with sources without explicitly stating one.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Saudi Arabia from July 8-10 for a visit — the first by a Canadian PM in 26 years. He's meeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the country's de facto ruler.

In 2018, the CIA concluded with high confidence that MBS personally ordered the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi was lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, murdered, and dismembered. A U.S. official said the killing "would not and could not have happened" without MBS's approval.

Federal officials will not say whether Carney will raise human rights concerns.

The stated agenda: deepening partnership across energy, critical minerals, defence, infrastructure, and investment. MBS is who the CIA says ordered a journalist's murder. Carney is meeting him anyway — and won't say if he'll raise it.

Bill C-5 (Building Canada Act) — June 26, 2025

Gives cabinet sweeping power to fast-track "national interest" projects — mines, pipelines, ports — by bypassing environmental laws and regulations.

First Nations were given just seven days to respond — and only a high-level summary, not the full text. The government held a summit with over 430 First Nations leaders after the bill passed. One chief said: consultation after legislation is "not meaningful".

Chiefs from Treaty 6 and 8 called it "colonization in 2025". Another said the bill "does not acknowledge or recognize a consultation process for First Nations".

Nine First Nations — including Attawapiskat, Fort Albany, and Apitipi — have launched a constitutional challenge, calling the government's promises a "smoke and mirrors trick". They are seeking $100 million in damages.

This is not consultation. This is legislation first, questions later and First Nations paying the price.

Bill C-30 and what this means for your food

On June 18, 2026, the federal government passed Bill C-30 — an omnibus budget bill that gives cabinet the power to authorize the use of banned pesticides that Health Canada has deemed unsafe.

The legislation doesn't define what "economic or national food security" means, leaving vague terms open to political interpretation.

Senator Rosa Galvez, an expert on pollution and human health, called it a "fundamental shift" — politicians overriding scientific expertise. Scientists, public health experts, and environmental organizations were not given the chance to testify in Parliament.

The Bloc Québécois, NDP, and Green Party have all condemned the measures. Green Party leader Elizabeth May called it "the single most regressive proposal" she has seen in 51 years of working on pesticide policy in Canada.

This means glyphosate and other endocrine disruptors can end up in your food. It will also limit what Canada can sell to the EU, which has stricter regulations, while Canada deregulates much like the US.

Cabinet overruling science.

This is not an opinion. This is law.

In 2004/2005 Canada minted the quarter with a red poppy leaf on it. This sent US officials into panic mode believing it was some kind of nanotechnology that functioned as a remotely operated radio device. They got real serious over this believing it was an act of espionage targeting US military/govt personnel

I found this CBC article on it from ‘07: https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/poppy-quarter-led-to-spy-coin-warnings-1.649741

The first pic is of a Rasa body with these orange circles on the wings. I got this via the Coords Exchange when the sub had less than 50,000 users. I’ve not been able to find it again. It is my main ship and has been for about 5-6yrs now.

The rest of my fleet was mostly through the coords exchange as well. I like the white/grey/black-chrome aesthetic which use to match my suit.

This sub inspired a new aspect and focus to the game, but I no longer do the “ship hunting” that I once did. However, I want to thank everyone who has contributed and those who continue to do so! Cheers
