Global Gazette Articles by Ronald (Ron) Wolf
- It's Our History, Our Country - The All Red Route and the REO
Our time-travelling adventure starts with 45-year-old Thomas Wilby (1867-1923) a freelance writer, and 46 year-old Jack Haney(1889-1935), a driver/auto mechanic, who took a 1912 REO automobile on the first automobile trip across Canada, which turned into The All Red Route.
- It's Our History, Our Country - God Bless the Bridge Builder
By: Ronald Wolf
This article dates back to a time when railway or railway construction accidents were rarely investigated. Constructing the Canadian Railway system was truly a dangerous job where there were no guarantees that a worker would leave for the day with all his limbs or even his life.
- It's Our History, Our Country - James Montgomery Doohan (1920 -2005)
By: Ronald Wolf
James Montgomery "Jimmy" Doohan (1920 -2005), best known as Montgomery Scott (Scotty) on the TV show and movies Star Trek, was the youngest of four children of William and Sarah Doohan, who emigrated from Northern Ireland.
- It's Our History, Our Country - A bridge by another name is called the Honeymoon Bridge
Buildings, statutes and bridges are an important part of history; they speak of the world in a different time. Even bridges that may not be standing anymore can still tell a story. The Honeymoon Bridge in Niagara Falls is the subject of this article.
- It's Our History, Our Country - Samuel Keefer (1811-1890)
Some people believe that only the powerful and evil (not to say that they are one of the same) will be remembered years after they have died. There are exceptions to the rule, Samuel Keefer (1811-1890) for instance.
- It's Our History, Our Country - Fredrick Banting (1891-1941) and His Unsung Heroes
There was one Canadian invention that not only helped millions of people worldwide but also saved the lives of millions worldwide. Artificial insulin was invented at University of Toronto by a trio of medical professionals that changed the world forever.
- It's Our History, Our Country - Donald A. Smith (1820-1914) - The Last Spike
This story is dedicated to all those who bent a nail while hammering. I'll bet your nail never made it into a museum or history. There is one exception of course. Donald A. Smith was 65 years old when he struck the last spike on November 7, 1885 which completed the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) when the west rail line met the rail line moving east.
- It's Our History, Our Country - Agnes Campbell Macphail (1890-1954)
It's hard to think that there was a time in our country when women were not allowed to study medicine, vote or run for office or enter politics. Angnes Macphail became Canada's first female Minister of Parliament in 1921, in the first federal election in which women had the vote.
