‘A cave complex worthy of Batman!’ Mind-boggling buildings that showed the world a new China
The birth of the People’s Republic is seen as a time of drab buildings. But this dazzling show, featuring a factory in a cave and a denounced roof, tells a wildly different story

Did you know your favourite trivia game was created right here in Montreal? Now, if it wasn't for that lousy Sports category, I swear I'd manage to win... #montreal
On this day in 1979 in Montreal, journalists Chris Haney and Scott Abbott created Trivial Pursuit. The board game went on to sell over 100 million copies worldwide and is one of the most successful board games in history.

On this day, a Canadian children's classic first hit the airwaves! #canada
When the two-part miniseries Anne of Green Gables debuted on CBC on Dec. 1, 1985, nearly six million Canadians tuned in. It went on to win 10 Geminis, an Emmy and a Peabody.
To this day, the miniseries is studied in film schools.
This is the story of that miniseries.

A familiar sight for those braving the Montreal streets today. Stay safe! #montreal
Postcard from #Montréal.

Bixis under the snow.

I rode my own winter bike to work. Rough sledding, with few of the streets plowed.

And 20 cm on Nov. 11 is a bit much, ‘stie!

A moment of silence for Remembrance Day--then, if you like, have a read of John McCrae's classic elegy for the fallen veterans World War I. They will never grow old!
