BONJOUR ET BIENVENUE FC SUPRA!!

The brand identity of the #CanPL's ninth team, and first in Québec, has been unveiled at a league event in Laval.

The name is a direct callback to the team that played in the Canadian Soccer League in the 80s and 90s.

Canada could easily make a big contribution on point 1.

@adeleperry.bsky.social also, you are surely right about the lack of attention to indigenous history questions.

@adeleperry.bsky.social Thanks, now I understand what you were referring to. I sort of agreed with Michael, thought Jack was just lobbying for more money for his team, and generally lost interest in the whole "national history" debate pretty quickly.

Canadianizing the Streets of Toronto Great to see coverage of crowds of Torontonians  coming out to celebrate the dedication of Sankofa Square in the heart of Toronto, recently ...

The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project. All collections are of equal importance. Every letter, photograph, or other artifact has an important story to tell. The collections and their contents are not edited or censored. Our role as historians is not to judge the past in light of the present, but to present everything in its entirety at the time of its creation.

PLEASE REPOST 🥺🙏

The Canadian Letters & Images Project is an online digital archive of Canadians’ experience during wartime at home & in battle. It contains thousands of personal letters & photos that reveal people’s experience through their own words & eyes.

Agree about the value of PBS etc. But it may depend on billionaire donors to save them. And they have more of those than we do!
