Hey there, time traveller!

Soldiers from CFB Shilo are fighting frostbite in Northern Manitoba as part of the federal government’s plan to secure Canada’s Arctic security.
About 70 members of the Second Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Combat Support Company have been setting up a forward operating base near Nunalla, complete with a base hospital, firing range and austere landing strip.
"They are happy to be out on the land, doing good business (military training)," said ARCG (Arctic Response Company Group) Operations Officer Capt. Ray Taylor in a press release.
By Sunday, the support company will have teamed up with ARCG reservists from 38 Canadian Brigade Group, which has units across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Thunder Bay and Kenora.
The operation is part of the Canada First Defence Strategy, a federal program designed to defend Canadian sovereignty and provide an increased presence in the Arctic.
