The Greatest Hockey Player: Gordie Howe
He was so good that people just called him Mr. Hockey. His longevity in professional hockey was incredible and he inspired generations of hockey players. One of the nicest men you could meet off the ice, he was called the "meanest SOB" on the ice. There has never been anyone like Gordie Howe. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

A Unique Currency: New France's Playing Card Money
For decades, off and on, New France was forced to use a unique style of currency when coins were in short supply. The money, made from playing cards, served an important purpose in the early years of the colony. In 2027, the Bank of Canada will be releasing a new $20 banknote featuring King Charles, the Vimy memorial and more.

Ahead of Its Time: CBC's The Odyssey
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey may be a hit movie in 2026, but for me The Odyssey I loved was one made by CBC in the early 1990s. It was a show that was far ahead of its time, with a complex narrative. It was Lost before Lost, and it helped give Ryan Reynolds his start. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!
