1903 CANADA SHORT CHANGED IN ALASKA BORDER FIX
Washington DC - Anglo-American Convention decides to define the Alaska-Canada border as it is today; US President Theodore Roosevelt had threatened to send in troops if the boundary was not fixed the way the US wanted. Left out of the talks, Canada ended up with no seaports in northern BC or the Yukon, and the resulting anti-British sentiment led to the founding of the Department of External Affairs in 1909.
1996 Canada - Jean Chrétien's Liberal Party wins 5 federal bye-elections, the Bloc Quebecois 1.
1967 Ottawa Ontario - Roland Michener 1900- appointed Governor General; serves until 1974.
1886 Toronto Ontario - Ontario Legislature passes Workman's Compensation Act; first Act of its kind in Canada.
