The legendary Ruth Slenczynska, born on January 15, 1925, is the last living student of Rachmaninoff. At 91 years old, she gives a breathtaking performance of Brahms' Intermezzo Op.118 No.2.
Today in my latest installment for A Letter From A Maritimer in the Where It Starts series, I look at Newfoundland.
It was a nation that became a province, and is a cautionary tale for Alberta separation.

This was a great look into the life of the man who popularized the use of the mask among NHL goalies.
An innovator and one of the greatest goalies in history.

Canadaโs role on D-Day is often overshadowed โ but it shouldnโt be.
On June 6, 1944, nearly 15,000 Canadian soldiers landed at Juno Beach, an eight-kilometer stretch of heavily defended coastline in Normandy.
They faced rough seas, mines, machine-gun fire, concrete bunkers, and rising tides that made the landing even more dangerous. Hours earlier, Canadian paratroopers had already dropped into France in darkness, tasked with securing key positions before the beach landings began.
By the end of the day, Canadian forces had pushed farther inland than any other Allied force on D-Day.
The cost was devastating: more than 350 Canadians were killed and over 500 wounded.
D-Day was not just an American or British story. It was also a Canadian one โ shaped by courage, sacrifice, and the brutal reality of war.
