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.

Before the First World War was over, there was already talk of creating a national memorial to Canada's soldiers in Ottawa.
That came to fruition on May 21, 1939 when King George VI officially dedicated the memorial.

Archie Belaney, a British man who called himself Grey Owl, is credited with saving the Canadian beaver from extinction, but it was Anahareo who turned him to conservation.
Her story is often ignored, but she was an author, activist and woman ahead of her time.

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies.
We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war.
A war THEY lost.
We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice.
J. D. can go lie on his couch.

Also, the video depicts world leaders visiting Bucha, Ukraine - what JD Vance called “propaganda tours that he saw on social media” when disrespecting Zelenskyy at the White House last week.

On this day in 1986, Tommy Douglas died.
Considered one of the most important Canadians of the 20th century, he served as premier of Saskatchewan, led the federal NDP, and was instrumental in the creation of Medicare in Canada.
