Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/05/06

It was the deadliest battle for Canadians during the Korean War, and while it was a victory, the battle was hidden from Canadians back home. Reports in newspapers were censored and today, the battle is barely known compared to battles of other wars Canadians were involved in. Today, in my bi-weekly look at battles in Canada's history, I am looking at the Battle of Hill 187.

In her heyday, she made more than Harry Houdini and may have been nearly as famous as Charlie Chaplin. A master at publicity, she was the template followed by future female stars such as Mae West, Madonna and Lady Gaga.

Lacrosse was the likely the first team sport in North American history, it was played before Europeans ever arrived and today it is our official Summer National Sport.

It is a dark chapter in Canada's history. After Pearl Harbour, fueled by anti-Japanese racism, the Canadian government authorized the internment of 22,000 Japanese Canadians, 80% of which were born in Canada. The Japanese Canadians would be moved from their homes, losing their businesses, possessions and livelihoods, forced to live in empty ghost towns where conditions were poor at best.

Back in the mid-1980s, it was decided that the time was right to get rid of the dollar bill and replace it with a dollar coin.

The Prime Ministers of Newfoundland

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/04/06

For a period of just under 30 years, Newfoundland was not a colony, but a dominion. With that title, it also had a prime minister, not a premier. During those 30 years, Newfoundland would go through the good and the bad, before tough economic times and corruption resulted in it reverting back to the status of a colony. This is the story of those Prime Ministers. Support: patreon.com/canadaehx Merch: www.canadaehx.com/shop Donate: canadaehx.com (Click Donate) E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com Twitter:

While women could run for provincial and federal office, and vote, by 1928 they still could not sit on the Canadian Senate.
