    History Since Confederation

    The story of Canada since 1867 is, in many ways, a successful one: For a century and a half, people of different languages, cultures and backgrounds, thrown together in the vast, northern reaches of a continent, built a free society where regional communities could grow and prosper, linked by the common thread of an emerging national identity. There were false steps along the way, including the struggles of Indigenous people for survival, and the ever-present tensions over federal unity. But for the most part, Canada became an example to the world of a modern, workable nation state.

    hitchBOT

    In 2013, researchers Frauke Zeller and David Harris Smith created hitchBOT, a hitchhiking robot. At the time, Zeller was an associate professor at the School of Professional Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University (then Ryerson University), and her husband, Smith, was an associate professor in the Department of Communication Studies & Media Arts at McMaster University. By creating hitchBOT, Zeller and Smith aimed to explore the interaction between humans and technology. After successfully hitchhiking across Canada and Europe, hitchBOT made headlines around the world in 2015, when it was destroyed by vandals in Philadelphia. (See also Robotics in Canada.)

    HMCS Niobe

    His Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Niobe was a 11,000-ton Diadem-class heavy protected cruiser, which was originally commissioned into Britain’s Royal Navy. In 1910, Britain sold the vessel to Canada, where it became one of the first two warships of the new Royal Canadian Navy. Niobe saw a few years’ service, including briefly during the First World War. In 1915, due to the ship’s deteriorating condition, it was tied up in Halifax’s naval dockyard and used as a depot ship.
