The Queen will be reunited with her beloved Prince Phillip today.

Her Majesty's casket will be lowered into the royal burial tomb during her funeral later today (September 19), where she will rest alongside her husband's coffin. 💔

THREAD 🧵

Her Majesty is set to make the same passage through the quire of St George's Chapel in #Windsor Castle as the Duke of Edinburgh, 17 months after he passed away.

The Queen was married to Prince Philip for 73 years, meeting him when she was just 13-years-old and he was an officer in the Royal Navy.

She described him as “my strength and stay”, as he supported her throughout her reign. ❤️

Did you know that #Canada had one of world's fastest passenger trains?

The Turbo Train made the run from #Montreal - #Toronto in 3h 59m in 1970.

It could top out at 270 km/h...

@ViaRail

The lat time I took a @ViaRail train to #Toronto it averaged 90 km/h, and took over 5 hours. (Actually it was half an hour late, par for the course.)

Boggles the mind that in the 2020s we don't have frequent high-speed electric rail from #Quebec City to #Windsor. 50% of Canada's population is in the red zone below. People fly and drive instead. Such low-hanging fruit, but no government grasps it.

Hi everyone! I'm going to start a new thread as the day goes on - heres what happened last night until approximately 2:00AM /1

It's definitely a stand off now, with the line of police officers facing what seems like a pretty committed group of people - hearing reports that people have brought there children back to #AmbassadorBridge - there are snipers on roofs /2

Here are the receipts RE snipers: /3

Cops seem to giving the protesters a light show now that injunction is in place - still lots of children at the event, and no officers out of vehicle to be seen /1 #cdnpoli #AmbassadorBridge #windsor

It's hard to tell if pick up trucks are leaving or just going in laps around the block /2 #AmbassadorBridge #cdnpoli #Windsor

Honking is swelling in waves - one trucker at the front closest to the cops expressed concern about starting another one - lots of speculation about tear gas, runner bullets, etc. /3 #Police #AmbassadorBridge #windsor #FluTruxKlan

There are 510 listed participants in the injunction proceedings. Court has taken a recess because not everyone who needs to can get on the Zoom call.

Court proceeds while the IT people work on figuring out how to get everyone included on the Zoom hearing.

Mike Wills, lawyer for the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, which brought the motion of injunction, is making arguments.

Our favourite royal couple #KateMiddleton and #PrinceWilliam may soon have a Scottish property 👑 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/uk-news/q…

At the #Windsor estate, there is one residence that the Queen has never occupied, and it was once reportedly set aside for the #DukeandDuchessofCambridge.

We would LOVE to see the royals living their best life in Scotland, especially because they met in St. Andrews ❤️

Saviez-vous que des atomistes français ont piloté la conception de ZEEP, premier réacteur #nucléaire exploité hors des #USA, qui démarre au #Canada en septembre 1945 ? Ce fut un très long chemin…

Après l’épisode 1 (cutt.ly/wy3rL78), nous retrouvons en juin 1940, au port de #Bordeaux, les atomistes français fraichement naturalisés, Lew Kowarski et Hans Von Halban, avec leurs secrets nucléaires et leur stock d’eau lourde, attendant le cargo britannique SS Broompark.

#NovaScotia has historically been one of the world’s largest suppliers of #gypsum. The mine in #Milford is the world's largest surface gypsum mine. Gypsum’s main use is as an ingredient in wallboard.
#nspoli #cbpoli #NS #CB #capebreton
@KeithIrvingNS @mmillershubie @EastHantsNS

When #gypsum mining started in #NovaScotia in the late 1700s, it was done by farmers who extracted blocks from their farms, hauled it by horse and cart to #Windsor and sold it to local traders. It was then exported to the US east coast for use as fertilizer.
#nspoli #ns

#Gypsum fixes alkaline (high pH) soil. US inventor #BenFranklin learned this from the French and brought the idea to the US in 1785.
