Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

At 10:57 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, George Lawrence Price stepped out into a village street in Belgium.
As he did, a German sniper shot him in the chest.
He died one minute later and became the last Canadian soldier to die in the First World War.
This is his story.

Timely as the Air Show -featuring so many military planes - takes over the Toronto skies #CAIS
In 1941, the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division was established.
During the Second World War, 17,000 enlisted to serve with it, and 30 lost their lives in active service.
This is the story of the women of that service.

No more Crown Royal for me. They would rather sell to Americans than keep jobs in Canada. I put them on the same list as Wayne Gretzky wines. Thanks but no thanks.
Btw... there are so many great Canadian whiskies to choose.

Since it is Canada Day, I thought I would share my personal choices for the Top 10 Canadians (pre-colonial to today).
This is just my opinion, nothing more. Everyone will have their own Top 10 with different names :)
#1 - Terry Fox (1958 - 1981)
