On Sunday, October 5, 2025, my wife and I are participating in the Canadian Cancer Society's Run for the Cure. This national fundraiser brings together communities across the country who will run or walk in support of all Canadians impacted by breast cancer. We are walking in honour of my mother, my two sisters, and both our daughters - all of whom have been touched by this terrible disease.
Our family isn't special as 1 in 8 women will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women, and all of us likely know someone who has battled it in the past, or is fighting it today. I encourage all Canadians to donate in honour of someone they know or simply to help their communities fight breast cancer. This cause is particularly important to us, especially this year, as we support our daughters, and I hope all Canadians get involved.

Montana voted for Trump 17% (9 preventable points) more than the national average. Kalispell is the seat of Flathead County, which voted 32% above the national average for Trump (16 points).
Now they are disappointed that #Canadian spending in Kalispell has dropped 39%.

There is a lot of news coverage about a USA president that lusts after a Nobel Prize like he attacks a family sized bucket of KFC. So let's celebrate that OTD in 1957, the first Canadian won the peace prize - Lester B. Pearson. Before he became our 14th Prime Minister, he spent the majority of his career as a diplomat. He was one of the founders of the United Nations and almost ended up as its first Secretary General. He was instrumental in ending the Suez Canal crisis by suggesting and helping to implement the first U.N. Peacekeeping Force.

One of the most important #CanadianCapitals, perhaps top 3, has to be Charlottetown, the largest city in the potato province. The city is famous for hosting the 1864 Charlottetown Conference, a pivotal meeting that initiated the process leading to Canadian Confederation. So it's a bit of a mystery why the "Birthplace of Confederation ", according to PEI marketing propaganda, took 6 years to decide that they too wanted to become Canadians, and joined us in 1873. Charlottetown's history began with French settlers in 1720, and a British survey in 1764 led to it becoming the capital of St. John's Island (now Prince Edward Island) and receiving its topically British street grid. The island has survived pirates, American mercenaries, hurricanes, potato blight, and Anne of Green Gables fans.

I bet you thought that I forgot about this unfinished series, but I was just waiting for a slow historical news day. Iqaluit is our newest provincial/territorial capital, as Nunavut was officially separated from the Northwest Territories to become the largest and northernmost territory of Canada on April 1, 1999. No fooling. Iqaluit, which means "place of many fish," has a long history as an Inuit hunting and fishing ground. In 1880 the British Government transfers the Arctic archipelago to the Canadian government which begins a century of colonization efforts to protect Canada's sovereignty in the area, with a bit of resource extraction that prompted settlements in Nunavut. Officially named "Frobisher Bay" In 1942 as a military airfield during WWII, the town reverted to its Inuit name in 1987.
