I know I absolutely promised no April Fools stuff, but the Library and Archives of Canada announced their major acquisition of the declassified journals and military records of Canadian supersoldier James “Logan” Howlett and I think it’s the best thing I’ve seen all week.

April 1, 2016 – Gatineau, Quebec – Library and Archives Canada (LAC)

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) acquires the declassified journals and military records of Canadian supersoldier James “Logan” Howlett.

Logan was born in 1882 in Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada, to wealthy landowner Elizabeth Howlett and her grounds-keeper Thomas Logan.

Logan’s journals provide valuable insight into his early life in Canada, including work as a miner in a British Columbia stone quarry, a fur trader for the Hudson’s Bay Company, and a homesteader in the Canadian Rockies. His military career spanned multiple conflicts, making his personnel records an unprecedented study in Canadian military history. Logan was gravely wounded in action many times, and gained a reputation as a gritty survivor.

Quick Facts

WWI: Captain in the Canadian Armed Forces (Devil’s Brigade). Fought at Ypres in 1915. Wounded by a sword through the chest.

WWII: Returned to the Devil’s Brigade in the Second World War, as an allied spy and paratrooper for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion during the Normandy landings on D-Day.

Cold War: based in Ottawa and Calgary, worked for both CSIS and the CIA.

Logan later changed his operative name to ‘Wolverine’, and worked with various NGOs.

"Is Hockey Hard? I Don't Know, You Tell Me. We Need To Have The Strength And Power Of A Football Player,

"Is hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me... Next question." -Brendan Shanahan I feel the 1972 Summit Series area was, aside from the Esso Great Hall, my favorite part of the Hockey Hall of Fame. I wasn't around for another decade, but I relived the series through family, rebroadcasts on television, and eventually a made for tv movie. I only wish you could hear Foster Hewitt scream the, "Henderson! Henderson has scored for Canada!" as soon as you step foot in the area. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #leader #legend #legacy #hustle #Canada #canadian #nhl #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #summit (at Hockey Hall of Fame)

"I've Been Gifted. The World Is Full Of People Who Not Only Haven't Been Gifted, But Have Had Something

"I've been gifted. The world is full of people who not only haven't been gifted, but have had something taken away from them. All I have to do is see one of them, some little girl who can't walk, and then I don't think I'm such a hero anymore. I think that compared to them, I'm a very small article." -Bobby Orr Here I stand in the heart of the cathedral of hockey itself. The Esso Great Hall of The Hockey Hall of Fame. I wish Instagram could upload panoramic photos. Originally built in 1885, and home to all of the major NHL trophies we dreamed of hoisting as children. All three variations of Lord Stanley's cup exist here. The oldest, when decommissioned; painstakingly deconstructed piece by piece, flattened, and put on displayed in frame; like a body's ribs in medical textbook. Lithograph photos of the hall of fame players/coaches/announcers, line every surface, and I could spend a day wandering around just this room finding my hero's, and the legends I learned about growing up. The giant stained glass skylight illuminates everything with a warm glow. I know I'll be back. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #travel #Toronto #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #nhl #leader #hero #blessed #thankful #legacy #canadian #canada #quotes #cathedral #stainedglass #humble (at Hockey Hall of Fame)

"I Am Canadian, A Free Canadian, Free To Speak Without Fear, Free To Worship God In My Own Way, Free

"I am Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."- John Diefenbaker July 1, 1960 A.D.

Right?? And grown adults have no clue about the absolute HORRORS indigenous women, or just any indigenous person faces today. And nobody cares to learn either. We're so busy comparing ourselves to the US and patting ourselves on the back for being "progressive" that we don't know and don't even care to learn about our own issues.c The reserves are so insanely unsafe and isolated people are forced to HITCH HIKE to escape to Vancouver (which is STILL unsafe) or literally any city. Vancouver, downtown is a hell hole.

I think it's horrific how long we wait to tell kids about their country's bad history. Like you spend your whole life thinking you live in the best country in the whole wide world until high school when they tell you the government actually eradicated an entire culture a couple hundred years ago. Like isn't that insane? No wonder there's so many people who think it didn't happen.
