April 29: At 4.10 this morning, 74 million tonnes of limestone break off of Turtle Mountain and crash into the valley below, killing more than 70 residents in the sleepy town of Frank, in the Northwest Territories (Alberta). The slide demolishes the south end of town, destroys the coalmine and buries the Canadian Pacific Railway. It will take more than a month to clear the rubble.</div>

April 30: Dr. Emily Stowe is dead in Toronto, one day short of her 73<sup>rd</sup> birthday. She was Canada’s first female physician and a longtime activist for women’s rights. Emily earned her degree in the States because no Canadian University would allow her to study medicine. The good doctor practised without a license because the government refused to grant one to a woman. Regardless, she saved many lives. Her daughter, Augusta, will be the first woman to be allowed to study medicine in a Canadian university. </div>

March 21: Motorists will be able to purchase gasoline from a new company as Royal Dutch Shell Canada is incorporated in Montréal. There are only 34,000 automobiles in the country, consuming only 22 730 450 litres (five million Imperial gallons) of gasoline but Shell Canada’s administrators are optimistic. The company’s six employees begin to serve customers from its headquarters on the corner of Peel and Ste. Catherine Street and opens a bunkering plant in Longue Point a few weeks later. In 2007 the company will have more than 1,800 retail outlets across the nation, be one of Canada’s Top 100 most desirable companies to work for and be worth more than $75 billion.</div>

It is the first naval vessel to carry the “C”; all previous ships were simply HMS—His Majesty’s Ship. The “C” recognizes Canada’s place in the Empire as an independent Dominion. Despite serious damage, the <i>Niobe</i> will survive the Halifax explosion and be sold for scrap in 1920. One of the guns from Canada’s first warship will be on display at Market Square in Saint John, New Brunswick in 2007.</div>

The new law replaces a five-year long total ban on cars in Prince Edward Island. Outraged farmers threaten to throw pitchforks at automobiles because the noisy contraptions disrupt the quiet life that Islanders enjoy. </div>

March 31: The <i>SS Newfoundland</i> is jammed in the ice but seals have been spotted by the nearby <i>SS Stephano,</i> so the captain orders the <i>Newfoundland’</i>s hunters to trek after the seals. A storm begins and the ship’s captain, believing that the men are safely aboard the <i>Stephano,</i> heads to port. Of the 132 hunters, 78 are dead and many of those who survive the storm, suffer injuries. Another ship in the sealing party, the <i>SS Southern Cross, </i>sinks in the two-day blizzard. The total dead in the Sealing Disaster is 252.</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">June 14: Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Brown taxi down the runway at Lester’s Field near St. John’s, Newfoundland, in a modified Vimy IV aeroplane. They will prove that it is possible to fly from the New World to the old. After flying through dense icy fog, unable to see the sun, moon or stars for much of the trip. The plane is often covered with ice as they are forced to fly only 100 metres above the ocean’s surface. A total of 16 hours and 12 minutes and 3,186 kilometres pass before they land safely in an Irish bog. The two carry letters from the Newfoundland Post—the first international air mail. The heroes claim the 10,000-pound sterling prize for being the first two cross the Atlantic by air and are knighted by the king for their stunning achievement.</span></div>

January
20:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jacques Ferron is born in
Louiseville, Quebec. The award-winning writer will found the Rhinoceros Party.
Dedicated to satire and silliness, the party platform will be “made of wood and
two foot high.” Pledges will include paving Manitoba to make it the world’s
largest parking lot; to ban winter; count the Thousand Islands to make sure
none are missing and to tear down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans may see
the sun set over the Pacific Ocean. The Rhinos will get more than 100,000 votes
in the 1980 election, making it the fourth most popular political party in
Canada. Ferron will die at home in 1985 and his party disbanded in 1993.</div>
