Hill 70 and Canadian Independence

Canada’s war of independence was the First World War. Unlike the Americans, our war of independence was not fought against the country from which we became independent, but alongside it. We started the war as a colony of Britain and ended it as an ally. The remarkable performance of the Canadian Corps and its first Canadian commander made these gains in autonomy possible.

Hippies in Canada

“Hippies” is a term used to describe young people who participated in the 1960s counterculture movement, which originated in the United States and spread throughout Canada in the second half of that decade. As a noun, “hippie” was a play on the adjective “hip,” which was used to describe young bohemians who lived in Greenwich Village in New York City, and in San Francisco, in the 1950s and early 1960s. Hippies were part of the “baby boom” generation, born immediately following the end of the Second World War (see Baby Boomers in Canada). This demographic wave was significant enough to transform Canadian society; by the mid-1960s more than half of Canada’s population of 20 million was under the age of 25.

His Majesty's Royal Chapel of the Mohawks

His Majesty’s Royal Chapel of the Mohawks is the oldest-standing church in Ontario. Now a part of the Anglican Church of Canada and the Six Nations of the Grand River’s Tourism Department, the chapel is located in the original location of the Kanyen’kehá:ka (Mohawk) village on the north side of the Grand River, near Brantford, Ontario. It houses at least four historic communion items and a Bible presented by Queen Anne to the Kanyen’kehá:ka in 1712 at their original church at Fort Hunter in the Mohawk Valley, New York. In 1830, the Bishop of Quebec consecrated the chapel as the Mohawk Church. In 1904, King Edward VII designated it a Royal Chapel. The chapel was renamed His Majesty’s Chapel of the Mohawks, highlighting the relationship between the Kanyen’kehá:ka and the Crown. Fires destroyed portions of the chapel in 1975, 1976 and 1994, believed to be deliberately set.

Histoire des Canadiens-français 1608-1880

Histoire des Canadiens-français 1608-1880Histoire des Canadiens-français 1608-1880 by Benjamin Sulte (8 volumes, 1882-84), proclaims in its own subtitle its significance as a comprehensive study of the French Canadian people (complete with statistics): it examines their "origins; history; religion; wars; discoveries; colonization; customs; domestic, social and political life; development and future." An eccentric "liberal" history, it met with the church's approval - despite its denunciation of the JESUIT RELATIONS - because of its outspoken critique of...
