Francis Pegahmagabow was one of the most effective snipers of the First World War.
Highly decorated for his service, he is remembered as one of Canada's greatest soldiers.
After the war, he became an activist for his people.
This is his story.

Just devastated at this tragic loss.
Fuck cancer. 🤬
Very sorry to hear of the passing of Tim Cook.
One of Canada's best historians, his books were fantastic. He was nice enough to give me a tour of the Canadian War Museum where he was the chief historian.
A truly great Canadian.

Vet prices.

If you are a pet owner, or someone who regularly listens to phone-in radio, you are likely aware of the shocking stories of just how much some people feel forced into paying vets to treat their pets.

A major report into veterinarian businesses and prices is published today...

Major reforms would require vet businesses to make fundamental changes to the way they support pet owners

Question for my historian friends: what do you do when you’re researching something and find massive contradictions in secondary sources? Like, I’m talking yawning gulfs between descriptions of events? 😳

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

I finished listening to “1944: The Reckoning” by @philmcraig.bsky.social today, and now I’m sad because I didn’t want it to end! I got attached to many of the people he profiles in the book (especially nurse Angela). I’m going to have to listen again from the start. Beautiful book, well narrated!

@philmcraig.bsky.social Any notion when the hard copy of “1945 The Reckoning” will be released over here? So far I’m just seeing the ebook. I’m eager to get my hands on it!
