We continue the story of John Knox, the British officer who wrote of his experiences in North America during the Seven Years War. This month he describes the siege and Capture of Louisbourg by Amherst and Wolf. This was the first step in defeating the French in North America and bringing down their empire. Knox and Louisbourg

OTTAWA - PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS

The Parliament  buildings in Ottawa  have been not only the centre of our Federal Government, but also the representation of our national identity in many ways. From those great Canada day celebrations to the parading guard, to the hosting of watershed events such as the signing of our new constitution by the Queen, Parliament Hill is the heartbeat of the nation and the buildings are a spectacular fusion of old and new, traditional, and evolving and a continuity of national conciseness. Take  tour of our photos of the buildings and the hill. Photo Journey
