The shadow war on libraries.
“investigation by The Fifth Estate has found there is a shadow war in Canada against libraries and books. Its leading political actors, from small towns to large political parties, are linked to a broader grassroots movement.

An innovation in infant nutrition
Pablum, the first pre-cooked, vitamin-enriched baby cereal, was a Canadian medical development. Created in the 1930s at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children by a team of three doctors, it revolutionized paediatric nutrition. The easily digestible cereal was fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, helping to reduce nutritional deficiencies like rickets in infants. #Canada#Innovation#History#Medicine

And our last question of the week:

The Numbered Treaties (1871-1921)
Canada's westward expansion after 1867 was not into empty land. The Numbered Treaties, 11 agreements signed between the Crown & First Nations from 1871-1921 allowed it. Foundational, deeply complex & controversial, they cover vast territories -- Ontario to the Rockies. Essential to understand Canada's creation & relationship with Indigenous peoples. #Canada#CreationOfCanada#IndigenousHistory#Treaties
