Massey Commission

The Massey Commission was formally known as the Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. It was officially appointed by Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent on 8 April 1949. Its purpose was to investigate the state of arts and culture in Canada. Vincent Massey chaired the Commission. It issued its landmark report, the Massey Report, on 1 June 1951. The report advocated for the federal funding of a wide range of cultural activities. It also made a series of recommendations that resulted in the founding of the National Library of Canada (now Library and Archives Canada), the creation of the Canada Council for the Arts, federal aid for universities, and the conservation of Canada’s historic places, among other initiatives. The recommendations that were made by the Massey Report, and enacted by the federal government, are generally seen as the first major steps to nurture, preserve and promote Canadian culture.

Mathematics

Mathematics is the science of numbers and spatial relationships. It is customary to distinguish pure mathematics and applied mathematics. Pure mathematics can be divided roughly into three major fields: geometry and topology, algebra and arithmetic, and analysis. It is complemented by logic, which deals with sets, the basic mathematical objects, their axioms and rules of inference. This article provides background on mathematics. For more detailed information please see Applied Mathematics; History of Mathematics in Canada; Mathematics and Society.

Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy

The Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy was added to the NHL’s awards for individual excellence in 1999. It is awarded each year to the league’s top goal scorer during the regular season. The trophy honours former Montreal Canadiens superstar Maurice “Rocket” Richard, who was the first player to score 50 goals in a season and the first to reach the 500-goal plateau. The tribute to Richard was a gift from the Montreal Canadiens and was first proposed by team president Ronald Corey. The award’s first recipient was Teemu Selanne of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Alex Ovechkin has won the award nine times — more than any other player.

Mayfly

Mayfly is the common name for small, fragile, soft-bodied insects comprising the order Ephemeroptera (from Greek ephemeros, meaning "living a day, " and ptera, “wings”). They may also be called shadflies or occasionally fishflies, but the latter is usually reserved for insects of the order Megaloptera. Over 3,000 species of mayfly are known worldwide, and 329 occur in Canada. Common species found throughout Canada include blue-winged olives (e.g., Baetis tricaudatus), speckled duns (e.g., Callibaetis ferrugineus), and hex (Hexagenia limbata). Other species are more common on a regional basis: e.g., Baetis bicaudatus in the West, and the little yellow quill (Leucrocuta hebe) in the East. Mayflies are one of the few surviving orders of insects found in the fossil record that date back to the Carboniferous Period (approx. 320 million years ago). In this period, they had wingspans of up to 45 cm. The oldest mayfly fossil found in Canada is from the Late Cretaceous and was discovered in the Wapiti Formation, southwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta; its age can be estimated at over 70 million years. (See also Geological History.)

McIntosh Apple

The McIntosh apple (Malus domestica “McIntosh”) is often called the national apple of Canada. Discovered in 1811 by John McIntosh on his Ontario farm, the McIntosh apple has been commercially available since the 1880s. It is grown mostly in eastern Ontario, British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, and the northeastern United States. The skin of this medium-sized apple is mostly bright red, but often includes green and white areas. The flesh is white, crisp and tart tasting. The McIntosh is one of the top 10 apples sold in North America.

McIvor Case

The McIvor v. Canada case was about gender discrimination in section 6 of the 1985 Indian Act, which deals with Indian status. Sharon McIvor — a woman who regained status rights after the passing of Bill C-31 in 1985 — was not able to pass on those rights to her descendants in the same way that a man with status could. In her case against the federal government, the British Columbia Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that section 6 did, in fact, deny McIvor’s equality rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In response to this case, the federal government introduced new legislation (Bill C-3) in 2011 to counter gender discrimination in the Indian Act.
