Yeah. I saw the info and display about Ādisōke. Looks like it’ll be nice, but 395 Wellington is still such an amazing building. Lots of memories of that reading room.

This film was such a privilege to make. Please take a look! #EnvHist #histSTM

“The industry has the kind of faith in the future that has made America great and continues to hold even greater promise for our civilization.” Oil industry perspective on the growing consumption of petroleum products in the 1950s (Feb 23, 1953).

Opinion: Dear Donald: A history lesson on why American carmakers came to Canada Donald Trump doesn’t seem to know that it was America that willingly (and profitably) helped to create an integrated North American auto sector

Dimitry Anastakis arguably knows more about the Auto Pact and Canada-US relations in the automobile industry than anyone else. His piece in the Globe is worth a read - as are his books on the topic!: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

“The Land is No Longer as it Was”: Land Use, Resource Extraction, and Land Claims in the Yukon Territory. In 1973, Yukon settlers opposed Indigenous land claims, fearing economic impacts, while Indigenous groups fought for recognition and justice.

“The Machine feeds us and clothes us and houses us; through it we speak to one another, through it we see one another, in it we have our being. The Machine is the friend of ideas and the enemy of superstition: the Machine is omnipotent, eternal; blessed is the Machine.”
