Symbols of Authority

One of the earliest signs of authority (the right to enforce obedience) was probably a wooden club, in which symbolism grew directly out of practical application: the humble club became both an instrument by which power was exercised and (consequently) a symbol of authority.

Eaton's

Founded in 1869, the T. Eaton Company Ltd., commonly known as Eaton’s, was an iconic Canadian department store with a retail presence in every province, at its height. From its beginnings as a retail store in Toronto to its eventual bankruptcy and absorption into its long-time rival, Sears Canada, Eaton’s significantly shaped Canadian shopping. The Eaton’s name and legacy persist today, from Toronto’s Eaton Centre to the red bricks incorporated into the facade of Winnipeg’s Canada Life Centre (formerly the MTS Centre), a reminder of the former Eaton’s store that stood on the site for so long.

Taber Shootings

The Canadian Encyclopedia is home to over 2,300 articles originally published in Maclean's magazine between 1994 and 2014, including this one. Readers should note that these are works of journalism — not encyclopedic entries — and therefore their tone and style differs from articles found elsewhere on our website. Similarly, we’ve archived them as they were first published, meaning that unlike encyclopedic entries, these articles aren’t updated to reflect current events. Our hope is that they might provide insight into the issues and events that mattered to Canadians during a 20-year period. The full Maclean’s archive is available here. This article in particular was published on 10 May, 1999.

Table Hockey

Table hockey (also called rod hockey, board hockey, bubble hockey and stick hockey) is a tabletop toy that emulates the game of ice hockey. It is intended for two players, though it can accommodate more. Originally designed as a game for the children of its inventor, Donald H. Munro, table hockey has grown to become internationally popular. Though invented in Canada, it has become particularly popular in Sweden. There is also competitive league play with an international governing body, as well as professional table hockey tournaments with cash prizes.

Tahltan Bear Dog

The Tahltan (pronounced tall-tan) bear dog was one of five dog breeds recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club as uniquely Canadian (see also Dogs in Canada). Although the name of the breed suggests it was only kept by the Tahltan Nation of Northwestern British Columbia, the dog was common among other First Nations in the region, too. These included the Tlingit, Tagish, Kaska and Sekani. The Tahltan people referred to it as “our dog,” which gave the breed its name. Indigenous peoples used the Tahltan bear dog in sustenance hunting— primarily for bear— an activity in which it excelled. The breed went extinct in the in the 1970s or 80s.
