Canada's Cold War Purge of 2SLGBTQ+ from the Military

For much of its history, the Canadian military had a policy of punishing or purging 2SLGBTQ+ members among their ranks. During the Cold War, the military increased its efforts to identify and remove suspected 2SLGBTQ+ servicemen and women due to expressed concerns about blackmail and national security. In 1992, a court challenge led to the reversal of these discriminatory practices. The federal government officially apologized in 2017.

Canada’s First Medical X-ray

On Christmas Day 1895, a young man was shot in the leg during an altercation in Montreal. His surgeon was unable to locate the bullet by exploring its entry site. When the wound began to cause trouble, the surgeon wondered if a remarkable new discovery, X-ray imaging, might be able to locate the projectile. He turned to physicist John Cox for assistance, leading to the performance of Canada’s first medical X-ray examination on 7 February 1896. This event marked the introduction and subsequent dissemination of a new tool to diagnose and treat patients in Canada.
