lets just say calling them Nazis is charitable, organizing snipers to shoot and kill your own supporters during a protest then claiming the government did it to give a pretext for ousting the current ruling party is a step above the reichstag fire.

Southam owned both the Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal but could probably make efforts to hide the fact back then.

It really is shocking how little has changed, considering how much as changed. We've been banging our heads against the wall for 50 years. So many headlines could be written today.

Like ramming a pipeline through, ignoring indigenous land claims.



Almost every paper from 1975-1985 has a story on the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. It was finally approved under Stephen Harper's government in 2011, and the project was only abandoned in 2017 because natural gas prices tanked.

I tried looking through the 1918-1919 papers for spanish flu stuff, but the Canadian papers were obviously dominated by the war.

unfortunately, a lot of the edmonton/calgary papers of the day seem to come from water damaged microfilm.

Still.....

"50,000 trucks"

some in the comments are claiming 150,000 trucks.

4 lanes wide, bumper to bumper, just bobtailing rigs, 50,000 trucks would be 142.9kms of trucks. bumper to bumper, across 4 lanes.

150,000 trucks would be 428km of trucks, 4 lanes wide, basically from Ottawa to toronto.

Even if they're all f-150s at 232 inches long, 50,000 trucks is 295kms worth of trucks bumper to bumper in a single lane.

Best case scenario, 50,000 f-150s doing 10 liters/100km driving from Toronto to Ottawa would need 2,250,000 liters of fuel. 47 Truck loads of fuel for a one way trip.

There are around 3.1 gas stations for every 10,000 people in Canada, each with 8-16 pumps. If Ottawa has a proportional amount(it doesn't, most towns of 1000 people have 2 stations), but if it did, that would mean 310 stations, averaging 12 pumps per station, 3720 pumps. If each truck could fuel up in 10 minutes, and each theoretical pump was fully utilized, it would take 2.24 hours to refuel every truck.

These people really can't comprehend the difference between 50 and 500 trucks, and can't even begin to understand what 50,0000 trucks looks like.

They're still going to claim there was 500,000 people there.

Considering they post their planned routes and times they would be travelling, it would be a drat shame if someone just made a bunch of spike traps and laid them on the route. Especially with this snow, could easily hide them in a matter of minutes some of these days. It would be a real drat shame. Mostly because that would both hit people not connected with the stupid protest, and also block off the highway, probably. I honestly hope no one tries it. Just let these chucklefucks run out of gas because they're all planning to hit the same gas stations and gas isn't an unlimited supply that magically springs forth from the ether.

How did other emigre groups from the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires - I’m thinking the Kashubians in Wilno, ON - not accrue the same sort of influence on Canadian politics? Is it just that the Ukrainians were most useful in crushing the Canadian left?

The closest I can think of is ARVN, ROK and ROC veterans marching in Remembrance Day parades in Toronto and the Veteran’s Day parade at the CNE.

we joke, but realistically what's going to happen is all the small time landlords will exit the market, making a significant profit, and the properties will be bought up by larger scale rental providers. nothing will change for the tenants except who owns the unit, and the larger companies may be slightly better at submitting the proper paperwork for things
