#HappyBirthday to the Honourable Cairine Reay Mackay Wilson who the first woman to be appointed to the Senate in Canada. Her appointment in 1930 marked the end of an era during which women in Canada were denied civil rights. Born in Montréal on February 4, 1885, into a wealthy Scottish-Canadian family, Cairine Reay Mackay married Norman F. Wilson, the Liberal Member of Parliament for Russell, Ontario, in 1909. In 1919, the Wilson family moved to Ottawa, where Mrs. Wilson soon became heavily involved in politics. Her privileged background did not stop her from publicly denouncing appeasement of Hitler, defying her own government to bring in #WWII Jewish refugees, or a lifetime commitment to child poverty and refugees. And she had time to fight for women's rights to be in government by founding the National Federation of Liberal Women of Canada in 1928 and the Twentieth Century Liberal Association in 1930.

For North American male sports fans of a certain vintage (old guys) Bronko Nagurski will be somewhat familiar. Bronko was a legend in professional football & wrestling in the years leading up to #WWII, and he was Canadian, born in Rainy River Ontario in 1908. He's the subject of today's post because OTD in 1941 Bronko Nagurski regained the World Wrestling title from Ray Steele in Minnesota, after losing to him a year earlier. In 1943, 6 years after retiring from the Chicago Bears, he rejoined the team and led them to the league Championship. His son Bronko Jr., born Christmas Day 1937, played football at the University of Notre Dame, and became an all-star with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League.
Despite being born a decade after the end of Bronko's sporting career, I'm aware of his Canadianship because my father would use it as a bit of trivia when his friends talked about the legend.
Great Wiki on Bronko.
