The Greatest Hockey Player: Gordie Howe
He was so good that people just called him Mr. Hockey. His longevity in professional hockey was incredible and he inspired generations of hockey players. One of the nicest men you could meet off the ice, he was called the "meanest SOB" on the ice. There has never been anyone like Gordie Howe. ORDER MY FIRST HISTORY BOOK!

A Unique Currency: New France's Playing Card Money
For decades, off and on, New France was forced to use a unique style of currency when coins were in short supply. The money, made from playing cards, served an important purpose in the early years of the colony. In 2027, the Bank of Canada will be releasing a new $20 banknote featuring King Charles, the Vimy memorial and more.

Introducing "Hostile History"
Since the dawn of time, humanity has been at war. Conflict in one form or another has been part of our existence since we first walked the earth. In this first episode of a four-part series, join military historian David Borys as we travel back in time to Iran, where we chart how a modern monarchy, which was armed, wealthy, and globally backed, lost control. On our journey, we'll be helped by historian Roham Alvandi from the London School of Economics and Political Science. While conflict and armed rebellion have evolved to look very differently over the centuries, if you want to understand the world today, you need to go back because history doesn't just repeat itself; it echoes.
