If you jumped on the recent social media trend of posting photos or videos of memories from 2016, AI says thanks.
That's because the high volume of publicly available, labelled images is a gold mine for anyone needing data to train AI models.

Richard Berthelsen: Buckingham Palace undoubtedly monitoring Canada closely, aware of challenges facing Denmark’s King Frederik
Can royals weigh in on Trump threats?
With increasing rhetoric from the White House about U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in an American takeover of Greenland — combined with ongoing tariffs and statements regarding Canada’s trade relationship with the United States — there is growing uncertainty about the future of our country, the North, and respect for national sovereignty, writes CTV News royal commentator Richard Berthelsen.

The Filles du Roi came to the colony in a program sponsored by King Louis XIV to boost the population of New France.
Their descendants include Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Bernie Geoffrion.

After having presented to a historical society on how to research Canadian WW2 soldiers, I realized that it took 6 years to find a treasure trove of websites that aided in our research. I thought I would share these sites in hopes to help others who are trying to do similar work.

The names of Canada's provinces and territories come from many sources.
Some names come from Indigenous words, while others are named for royalty, and some are named for where settlers came from.
This is how each province and territory was named!
