We're also excited to announce that Tom Peace

To help us finish up in style this week, we have invited E. A. Heaman (M), Max Hamon (W), and Jerry Bannister (F) to contribute essays that bring historical perspective to our current moment of nationalism redux and complex cross-border relations.

We're grateful for a decade of conversation about early Canadian history @earlycanada, and now we have decided to wrap up Borealia as an active project (after this week's 3-part finale, M, W, F). A few closing thoughts here: earlycanadianhistory.ca/2025…

Hoping for a well rested return in a year. Many thanks to Denis, @keithsgrant, and Laura for all of the work they put into making Borealia such a great #cdnhist blog & online space.
Borealia is on Sabbatical This Year!
We're taking some time to rest and reflect, but in the meantime, please keep reading and sharing the back-catalogue! Much gratitude to our community of readers and contributors. 🙏

As thoughts begin to turn toward syllabi, there's a new way to connect essays at Borealia with common themes in #CdnHist: our Topics and Themes for Teaching page.
Please share with your secondary and post-secondary colleagues!

Resources like this benefit so many learners of all kinds! Homeschooling as well as secondary schools, alt-ac as well as university scholars.
Huge thanks to editor Laura Smith (@l4smith) for the work to clean up site tags and putting this together so neatly! Gratitude to @CndHistAssoc for a Communication Grant to make that labour possible.

Hey, #cdnhist #cdnpoli #cdnmedia. Let’s start 2024 off on the right foot: No One Killed Canadian History. It is time to move on from a tired debate that serves only to distract from the wonderful work being produced by historians in Canada. activehistory.ca/blog/2024/0…
