So... what kind of POW's would we be storing at Kapuskasing in 1914? That is a long way from the front lines in France let alone the lines at the wharf on Toronto Bay. Maybe the POW camp would have been more effective by just letting the POW's try to walk back to civilization and letting the bears and the mosquitoes "have at em"...

Does anyone have any pics of places I remember from my childhood and wish were still around? The old Eatons Annex and warehouse, the Old Eatons store, the Restaurant that used to be on Queen street East of Yonge st, it was a diner I believe. I just dont remember it now and have been thinking of it for a while. They had Chicken Croquettes which my Mom loved.
WOW, excellent indeed. Was the original Eatons store right at Yonge and Queen? I so wish I could see a pic of it before they destroyed it for the Eaton Centre

I find it 'mind-boggling' to realize the immense changes that have altered this block in the downtown core since 1884 (attachment). Dozens of buildings have evaporated to accommodate today's TD Centre. Is there even one of the 128-year-old buildings remaining?
I am constantly amazed at how ubiquitous the Union Jack used to be in Canadian life within living memory. I remember seeing it occasionally alongside the Maple Leaf in the 70s, but it's really evaporated since then. If it weren't for the little nod in the corner of Ontario's flag, you'd just never see it these days. Attitudes about who we are in the world really seemed to have turned on a dime in the 20 years between 1955 and 1975.
