YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU- *me, checks lecture notes* I definitely told you. YOUR TEXTBOOK LEFT OUT- Me: It is on page 37 and again on 54. HISTORIANS NEVER ADMIT- Me: Look will you just admit already that you slept through class?

Historical markers were once just for American history. But many now claim aliens have visited earth from outer space โ€” and they aren't hedging.

construction camp(s?) for the spiral tunnels project in the kicking horse pass in yoho national park, c1908. the tunnels reduced the grade of the cpr mainline from 4.4% to 2.2% in the pass, making operations in the rockies much safer and less costly. #bchist#cdnhist#envhist

this is right near where i grew up and where my parents still live, and it has been great to watch guichon creek gradually, haltingly, bit by bit be restored over the decades. the new fish ladder at the old mill pond was so nice to see earlier this summer. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A little late to the X-odus, but Acadiensis is on Bluesky now. Looking forward to sharing our love of Atlantic Canadian history and Atlantic Canadian late night cuisine.
