What's new in Canada's History


This month in Canada's History:  

  • Nancy Payne on Harriet Tubman's war on slavery and her home in St Catharine's, Canada West.  
  • Zbigniew Stashniak explores the computer tech that emerged from Canada's Second World War sub-hunting campaigns.  
  • Kevin Plummer recounts the 1920s travails of a would-be blockbuster film about the Canadians at Ypres in 1915 (and you can watch the rediscovered film here).
  • Travel notes on the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.
  • And Mairi Cowan presents an odd story about the only Scottish nun in New France.
