THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
Once he reached Fort Colvile in safety, the artist Paul Kane joined the outgoing Express and travelled up the Columbia River toward the mountain pass that would carry him east to the Athabasca River and #Edmonton House, on the North #Saskatchewan. #Journeys #WestOfTheMountains #ABHistory #YorkFactoryExpress https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-columbia/

Great but difficult read from ECAMP.

As important as it is to know and share history worth celebrating, now more than ever we must remember the ugly parts of our history too.

Edmonton, Alberta, and Canada are built on a whole lot of racism by a whole lot of racist people. We must learn and acknowledge that before we can hope to pretend we're past it (we aren't, not even close).

A Brief History of the Alberta Oil Curtailment
The Alberta oil curtailment of 2019–2020 shows us that governments have the power to order #oilandgas production cuts. All they need is the political will. #ABPoli #ABHistory #CdnPoli

Do you remember the great oil price crash of 2014-2016? I sure do. A 70 per cent drop in global crude prices brought the expansion of Alberta oil sands projects to a halt. I worked in the industry at the time, and the crash severely curtailed my employment options. I was unemployed for nine months

@mwshook

That's very cool! ❤️

Reminds me of this story I ran across when working as a rural reporter just *after* a major anniversary -- no one had thought to contact the local paper nowadays, but in its day, this little hamlet and the meteorite/upper atmospheric studies being performed there made it briefly world-famous when the astronomer not only spotted Sputnik, but managed to photograph it, too! 🙂

@bllgvn

Another shameless plug:

As an occasional visitor to this and other historic sites in the #Drumheller Valley, I really appreciate the folks who take on these positions and help keep the memories of those times and experiences alive today! ❤️

Great place to visit, and great interpreters on site! ❤️❤️❤️
