Thank you to everyone who attended Week 1 of my Royal Scandals lecture series - Henry VIII, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn - this afternoon! Mary, Queen of Scots next week!

Great audience in Guelph this afternoon for my lecture on the Vikings. On the Guelph-Mississauga GO bus back to the west end of Toronto now.

On the GO train to Guelph - my Third Age Learning lecture series on the history of the Nordic nations begins today. I'll get a nice view of the changing fall colours on my Wednesday commute over the next eight weeks!

Happy birthday to Canada House! It was on this day in 1925 that King George V opened Canada House in the historic building. King George V said: "Canada is a great country: alike in the literal sense of vast extent from 'sea to sea' and great in achievement and in promise."

Happy Canada Day! For more Canadian history, read all my articles in the @historicacanada.bsky.social Canadian Encyclopedia here: www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/author/ca...

It is nice to see Prince Edward make an appearance, and say a few words, and to bring greetings from Their Majesties with a promise of a longer royal tour to come. "I speak for all of my family when I say that we take immense pride in Canada and Canadians." #MapleCrown
