The Trinity Session
Cowboy Junkies
1988
There is something uniquely Canadian about The Trinity Session. The Trinity Session is a beautiful piece of folk #Canadiana an album that is far more than the sum of its parts – but whose parts, if you really give them your full attention, stand up perfectly well on their own.

Good Morning #Canada
And Happy #CanadaDay. The news media posts today show a distinct trend about Canadian patriotism. Increased interest in our history, record levels of flag sales and prominent display on homes, and elbows up everywhere. Back in 1982, Pierre Berton released a book titled "Why We Act Like Canadians" that connected our history with our culture. Read this review and see if it still resonates today.

Good Morning Canada
On this day in 1991 Canada’s military suffered a casualty that made headlines across the country. Master Corporal Mark Robert Isfeld, known to his friends as Izzy, was killed while disarming a landmine in the village of Kakma, Croatia. He was famous for handing out Izzy Dolls to local children. The dolls were knitted by his mother, and the practice grew to be supported across the Canadian military family.

One of the most influential Canadians that most of Canada has never heard of was Elijah Harper (March 3, 1949 - May 17, 2013). He served with distinction as a politician in Manitoba, serving as minister of Northern Affairs. Harper is best known for the role he played in scuttling the Meech Lake Accord, for which he was named the Canadian Press newsmaker of the year in 1990. The Meech Lake Accord was an attempt by then Prime Minister Mulroney to gain acceptance of the constitution by Quebec. The proposed amendments, negotiated in secret by the 11 Premiers, would have eroded federal powers by granting the provinces and territories more rights over key areas.
Without Harper's stubbornness, Canada’s federal powers would have been weakened, and we very well could have ended up splintered like the USA.

#HappyBirthday to Robert Norman Munsch, born June 11, 1945, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but thankfully, he became a Canadian citizen in 1983. He has published more than 60 books in 30 languages and is a Member of the Order of Canada and Canada’s Walk of Fame. Health issues have ended his writing and public appearances, and in 2021, he was diagnosed with dementia. But his stories continue to speak to children.

Good Morning #Canada
On June 6, 1944, my father was hospitalized in England, recovering from shrapnel wounds inflicted during the Italian campaign, and he joked that he missed all the excitement. That "excitement" included 1074 casualties on D-Day, including 359 killed, as Canadian troops secured Juno Beach to begin the defeat of Nazi Germany. It took another 11 months of bloody battles before Allied military forced surrender.
