From 1755 to 1764, over 11,000 Acadians were pushed off their land by the British and forcefully relocated elsewhere.
Over 5,000 died of disease, starvation and shipwrecks.
It was a dark time in our history.

Alberta parents, through @ABschoolcouncil, called for HVAC upgrades to protect kids from hot, smoky classrooms. Instead, @demetriosnAB targets "inappropriate books" after meeting with conservative Christians. Parents want #cleanair-not culture wars. #abed https://t.co/JY9dVmY7tD
If we raised the cost of sugar
to cover the cost of the

Instead we subsidize it.
@theJagmeetSingh should be seen as a classy statesperson, not a political casualty. From the parliamentary agreement, to his conduct in the debates to his speech tonight, he chose to put the good of Canada ahead of narrow partisan or personal interests.
