When writing her most recent play, @emmadonoghue.bsky.social says her own experience as an Irish immigrant to Canada 'informed her perspective'. Hoping one day she will tackle the intriguing story of those other Irish immigrants to Canada, the Donnellys of Lucan, Ontario. #CanLit #CanHistory
The Room author reflects on how research, risk and reinvention shaped her Giller-nominated novel The Paris Express and her latest play The Wind Coming Over the Sea.

A friend and fellow tech writer published her first book recently. I was blown away by what a great book it is. If you like Canadian history (Ontario especially), farming, and WWI, this is for you.

Most people may not know the name Laura Sabia, but she helped shape Canadian history with her activism.
She was tireless in her work, which led to major reforms in Canada when it came to gender equality.
This is her story.

On this day in 1975, Canada made the change from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
This was just one part of a decade-long process for Canada to convert to the metric system. It was a huge undertaking.
This is the story of Canada's Metric Conversion!

Do read all 10. 🇨🇦 should pay attention to 2, 4 & 8, 🇺🇲 to 9.

Canada has been here before. We have excellent free trade agreements with the EU and others.

Elbows up.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

Specifying exactly what we aim to assess is a trying, but illuminating process. It allows teachers to provide more effective formative assessment for students as they move towards more robust historical inquiry.
