Terry Fox was a cancer patient whose leg had been amputated just above his knee because of osteogenic sarcoma. Terry ran 3,339 miles (5,373 km) across Canada in 143 days; this is equivalent to running a full marathon every day.

"Today we got up at 4:00 am. As usual, it was tough. If I died, I would die happy because I was doing what I wanted to do. How many people could say that? I went out and did fifteen push-ups in the road and took off. I want to set an example that will never be forgotten," Terry said.

During his run across Canada, he was forced to stop because the cancer had spread to his lungs. Terry died a month before his 23rd birthday in 1981.

The annual Terry Fox run is a charity run that is held all over the world in his honor. It has raised more than $500 million for cancer research.

On this day in 1841, Jennie Trout, the first woman licensed to practice medicine in Canada, was born. Though she passed her qualifying courses at the University of Toronto, she was forced to attend medical school in Pennsylvania. #HeritageMinute

@DGBassani Finally! We’ve been told in NS this end time that kids don’t spread COVID at school, and even as a layperson I thought that couldn’t be true. Any parent of small kids know that they spread and bring home everything!

When I see some of the NYT's choices in Canada coverage despite the large number of Canadians who work there it makes me wonder about their coverage of other countries where they employ significantly fewer people from the area

Christian Leuprecht is a Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University & is now calling on the attorney general to call this domestic terrorism publicly and hold organizers accountable for sedition.

Boom🔥

And on day 16, no one wants to hear excuses from politicians. Why it's hard. Or how it's someone else's jurisdiction. Just get your act together. Now.

This Canadian trucker is a great example of why we shouldn’t be banning books about the Holocaust.

@kateStrasdin @madparisfr Are there ever examples of someone with unfashionable taste who would have a dress made in a style that was already passé?
