Please Welcome the One and Only Phoenix Morzgan!

Oops! I almost forgot to write this post because I was so mesmerized by studying Canadian History. Anyway, I did manage to check my name according to John Travolta (that's not Canadian or history, really). So, if Mounto doesn't work, and Marky Mark is taken, then I guess I could be dubbed Phoenix Morzgan. It really sounds like a magical name, don't you think?

Anyway, today we discussed Canada at war in the air - think RCAF; the sea - think Corvettes, and convoys, and "wolf packs" of u-boats! Then we talked about the Italian campaign in 1943-44; and then we moved on to D-Day in 1944; the highlights of Juno Beach, and the other four beaches where allied landings took place, and the progression of Canadian troops along the Atlantic wall and eventually into the Netherlands. 

I have been reading a good article about William Lyon Mackenzie King and his role as "Canada's weirdest prime minister." The author's words, not mine. Also, I have been watching videos again. Try looking at this video from the series called King and Country. It is a great explanation of the Canadians' role in the invasion of Normandy.  

Homework: Read about the impact of the war on Canada's economy. Page 122, I think. Prepare for a quiz next day.
