Drumlin

Drumlins are smooth, half-egg-shaped or ellipsoidal hills which formed beneath Quaternary Glaciers. Drumlins [Gaelic druim, "hill"] were first described in Ireland. They lie parallel to the direction of ice movement, the blunt (stoss) end facing up-glacier, the lee sloping down-glacier. Drumlins may be up to 50 m high and several kilometres long, with an average length-to-width ratio of 2:1 to 3:1. Highly elongated drumlins are often called drumlinoids. Drumlins occur in broad fields or swarms, up-glacier from major end Moraines in Europe and North America. Swarms of several thousands occur in Nova Scotia, southern Ontario and the Thelon Plain of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut; smaller groups occur in most other provinces.

Ducks in Canada

Waterfowl with short legs, webbed feet and narrow, pointed wings are known as ducks. A few island species are flightless, but most are strong fliers and migratory (see migration). A race of the common eider (Somateria mollissima) of Hudson and James bays is nearly sedentary, even wintering in Hudson Bay. Ducks, geese and swans comprise a family (Anatidae) with 158 living or recently extinct species. Ducks have worldwide distribution, except for polar regions.

History of Duelling in Canada

A duel is a formal armed combat between two people in the presence of witnesses, to settle differences or a point of honour. Duels were recorded in New France as early as 1646. The last known duel in what is now Canada occurred in 1873 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. People fought duels in a variety of places: in locked rooms, in open fields or across tables. Most incidents ended without injury, but there were some fatal encounters. At least nine people died in New France, two in Lower Canada, five in Upper Canada, two in Nova Scotia, two in New Brunswick and one in Newfoundland. Authorities considered duelling a crime, and to kill in a duel was tantamount to murder (see also Homicide). However, the laws were irregularly enforced.

Dugout Canoe

A dugout canoe was a common type of canoe, traditionally used by Indigenous peoples and early settlers wherever the size of tree growth made construction possible. The dugout canoe was most popular along the West Coast, where waters teeming with sea life—whales, seals, sea lions, salmon, halibut, herring, eulachon and shellfish—sustained a complex maritime culture. (See also Northwest Coast Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)
