Did you know that Parks Canada has a whole section on their website devoted to "This Week in History"? Several of the long list of stories are directly related to Canadian military history, including:"American Forces Take Fort George";
"An Elite Canadian Corps: Samuel Steele and the Strathcona's Horse Regiment in South Africa";
"Canada and the Korean War";
"Canadians Join the Fight at Passchendaele";
"'Loud roared the dreadful thunder...': HMCS Haida;
"St. Joseph...the Military Siberia of Upper Canada";
and many, many more.
They may not be the most in-depth discussions of the topic at hand, but they certainly do qualify as honest-to-goodness attempts to educate Canadians about our collective history and that's what really matters.
Many thanks to Christopher Moore for blogging about this source.
