    Tsilhqot'in Case

    In Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia (2014), the Supreme Court of Canada issued the first-ever declaration of Aboriginal title in Canadian history. It recognized the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s rights over 1,700 km² of their traditional territory (see also Indigenous Territory). This landmark ruling clarified the legal test for Aboriginal title. It also affirmed Indigenous land rights based on historical occupation (see also Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canada). The decision overturned colonial-era assumptions like terra nullius, marked a significant step in reconciliation and set a powerful precedent for Indigenous nations across Canada pursuing land claims (see also Doctrine of Discovery; Colonialism in Canada).

    Tsunami

    A tsunami is a series of travelling ocean waves usually caused by a large earthquake beneath or near the ocean. Volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides and coastal rockfalls can also generate one, as can a large meteorite impacting the ocean. Most tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean; however, people and property in all coastal areas are at risk. The 26 December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, which killed or displaced 230,000 people, was one of the largest tsunami events of the last 100 years. These very large tsunamis (called teletsunamis) can be destructive across entire ocean basins. This makes them the most far-reaching of all natural disasters.

    Tumpline

    A tumpline is a strap that crosses the head (sometimes the chest) and is used for carrying a pack. In Canada, Indigenous peoples and early settlers used this load-bearing device to carry goods over long distances. Tumplines are still used all over the world, from people in rural communities to modern outdoor outfitters.

    Tunagate

    Tunagate (also known as the tainted tuna scandal) was a 1985 political scandal. It involved federal government interference with the work of food inspectors, and the subsequent sale of canned tuna that had previously been deemed unfit for human consumption. It was the first major scandal of the Brian Mulroney government and raised questions about his cabinet’s competency. The scandal led to the resignation of the federal fisheries minister, laws to prevent political interference in the work of food inspectors, stronger food quality regulations, and the closing of the only tuna canning plant in Canada.

    Tupiq

    Historically, Inuit used a simple tent, known as a tupiq (the plural form is tupiit), while travelling or hunting during the summer months. Today, the traditional tupiq is rarely used (because modern variations have largely replaced it), but some Inuit elders and communities are working to keep the tupiq, and other Inuit traditions, alive. (See also  Architectural History of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

    TurboTrain

    The United Aircraft Corporation’s TurboTrain (known in Canada as the CN Turbo or VIA Rail TurboTrain) was an early high-speed passenger train that operated in Canada, from 1968 to 1982. The TurboTrain was powered by a gas turbine engine and could attain a maximum speed of over 270 km/h, though it normally never exceeded 150 km/h. The TurboTrain operated on the Montreal–Toronto route, and under optimal conditions was supposed to complete the trip in less than four hours, though it often took about four and a half hours. Meant to revolutionize train travel in Canada, the TurboTrain suffered from technical problems in its first years of service and declining interest from travellers.

    Turkish Canadians

    Modern Turkey stretches from southeastern Europe into central Asia. It straddles part of Thrace, in the Balkan area, and Anatolia, which makes up the bulk of its territory. These two regions are separated by the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles, which link the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. In the 2016 Canadian census 63, 955 people reported Turkish origins (29, 885 single and 34, 065 multiple responses).
