“Hallelujah”

“Hallelujah” is arguably poet and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s best-known song. Considered by many to be one of the greatest songs of all time, it was ranked No. 11 on CBC Music’s list of the 100 Best Canadian Songs Ever. “Hallelujah” failed to garner much attention when it was initially released in 1985, but became increasingly popular after various artists — most notably Jeff Buckley, k.d. lang and Rufus Wainwright— performed covers of it. Since its release, “Hallelujah” has been covered by over 300 artists and has been used in numerous movies and television shows. It was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006.

Halloween in Canada

Halloween is observed annually on the night of 31 October. It originated primarily as a Celtic celebration marking the division of the light and dark halves of the year. (It is exactly halfway between the September equinox and winter solstice.) It was believed that the spiritual world became visible to humans at this time, and the souls of the dead — who loved to play tricks on mortals — could mingle among the living. Halloween customs include wearing disguises to ward off ghosts and offering food to appease malevolent spirits. These practices were brought to Canada in the mid-to-late 1800s by Irish and Scottish immigrants. The first public report in North America of a jack-o’-lantern carved from a pumpkin was in Kingston, Ontario, in 1886. The first record of dressing in disguise on Halloween was in Vancouver in 1898. And the first recorded use of the term trick-or-treat was in Lethbridge, Alberta, in 1927. Halloween became increasingly popular with adults beginning in the 1990s. By 2023, it was estimated to be a $1.8-billion industry in Canada. It is the second most commercially successful holiday behind Christmas.

E. coli Infection in Canada

Every year, approximately 470 Canadians are infected with E. coli bacteria, which can cause severe illness and, in a small minority of cases, death. Though the illness has been called “hamburger disease,” based on its association with ground beef patties containing infection-causing E. coli, it can be transmitted through a variety of other foods, untreated water and contact with the fecal matter of infected people and animals. Several deadly, high-profile E. coli outbreaks have occurred in Canada since the 1980s. They have resulted in greater public awareness, as well as changes in regulations and health practices.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are a professional team in the Canadian Football League (CFL). The franchise dates back to the formation of the Hamilton Football Club (the Tigers) in November 1869. The Tigers and another Hamilton football team, the Wildcats, amalgamated as the Tiger-Cats for the 1950 season and played in the Inter-provincial Rugby Football Union (IRFU). The IRFU became the Eastern Conference of the CFL in 1960. Since the early 20th century, the Tigers and Tiger-Cats have been associated with a tough, physical brand of football that reflects the blue-collar roots of Hamilton as an industrial city. The team’s iconic cheer, “Oskie Wee Wee, Oskie Waa Waa, Holy Mackinaw, Tigers… Eat ’em Raw!” is well known throughout Canada and dates back to the early 20th century. The Tiger-Cats have won the Grey Cup 13 times, including five times as the Tigers.

Harbour Porpoise

The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is the smallest cetacean found in Canada. Members of the toothed whale family (Odontoceti), these cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are close relatives of the Dall’s porpoise, sometimes mating and producing hybrids; however, harbour porpoises are shyer and less commonly seen despite living in coastal areas. They rarely approach vessels to play in their bow waves like other porpoises. A nickname for these animals is “puffing pigs” due to the loud exhale that can be heard when they surface for air.

Harp

The harp is prized as much for its expressive range and gentle textures as for its elegant appearance. The instrument is heard not only in the performance of classical music, but has increasingly become an integral part of Celtic and folk music performances in Canada and elsewhere. Canadian orchestras frequently feature the harp, and Canadian composers have written numerous new works for harp.
