Canada

 Continuing where I left off yesterday, here we see the Caribou Monument in Bowring Park, memorializing the war dead of Newfoundland and Labrador.


This is the Ukrainian Labour Temple in Manitoba.


The British Columbia provincial Parliament Buildings are found in Victoria, B.C. 


This is the Old Arts Building in New Brunswick.


Grain elevators are a common sight in Saskatchewan.


Pier 21 is home to the Canadian Museum of Immigration in Nova Scotia- one of two national museums outside the national capital area.


This is the CCGS Amundsen, a Coast Guard icebreaker.


Dawson City is found in the Yukon Territory.


This scene is Pangnirtung in Nunavut.


And this is Point Prim Lighthouse on Prince Edward Island.


Inside the main hub of the Canadian History Hall is a viewscreen of various moments in our history. William Lyon Mackenzie King can be seen at top right, for instance, while at lower left is the dark chapter of the October Crisis.


The view screen changes, and so at lower left is a picture of Prime Minister Jean Chretien and Nelson Mandela, who was made an honorary citizen of the country right here at the museum.

    1. And when one looks at the history of immigration patterns, it makes perfect sense.
