    Dutch Canadians

    From the earliest years of the 17th century, the Dutch were engaged in the fur trade on the Hudson River. In 1614, they established trading posts on Manhattan Island and at Fort Orange (present-day Albany, New York). But it was only after the American Revolution that Dutch immigration to British North America (now Canada) began. The Dutch who had long been settled in the Thirteen Colonies fit easily into Canadian society. Since that time, Canada has experienced three immigration cohorts from the Netherlands, the largest of them after the Second World War. During the Second World War, the Canadian Army liberated a number of Dutch cities. Canada also provided refuge to the Dutch royal family. As a result, Canada and the Netherlands have enjoyed a close bilateral relationship ever since. The 2021 Canadian Census reported 988,585 persons of Dutch origin living in Canada.

    Dwight Ball

    Dwight Ball, pharmacist, businessman, premier of Newfoundland and Labrador 2015–20, leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador 2013–20 (born 21 December 1957 in Deer Lake, NL). Ball became premier at a time of economic crisis. After several years of prosperity, slumping oil revenues required his government to bring in unpopular austerity measures to fight a burgeoning provincial debt. Ball retained the premiership in 2019, when his Liberal Party won a minority government. On 17 February 2020, Dwight Ball announced his intention to resign as premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. He remained in that position until 19 August 2020, when Andrew Furey was sworn in as premier. (See also Politics in Newfoundland and Labrador.)

    EAH Alderson

    Edwin Alfred Hervey Alderson, KCB, first commanding officer of the 1st Canadian Division (October 1914–September 1915) and of the Canadian Corps (September 1915–May 1916), army officer, author (born 8 April 1859 in Capel St Mary, England; died 14 December 1927 in Lowestoft, England). British Army officer E.A.H. Alderson commanded Canadian troops in the South African War (1899–1902) and in the First World War. During the Great War, the conscientious Alderson helped to transform raw Canadian troops into an effective fighting force. However, he clashed with Canadian politicians, particularly Sam Hughes, the minister of militia and defence, over a number of issues including officer promotion, training and discipline, and the Ross Rifle. This contributed to his dismissal as Corps commander in May 1916, following the disastrous Battle of St. Eloi.
