One of the nice things about living so close to the Canadian Border is that We get CBC TV Canadian Broadcasting company, and in our case CBUT channel 2 out of Vancouver. CBC has some quality programming! Similar to our PBS, but usually about Canadian History.
Tonight, it was a two-part mini=series called The Shattered City: The Halifax Explosion. It takes place during WWI Dec of 1917. I had never heard of this incident, so I watched tonight and will again tomorrow, I also came in and looked it up on Google.
Halifax Explosion This is quite an extensive website all about the explosion, but what it doesn't tell that the movie does, is that it was a German plot to plug Halifax harbor. It is a program well worth watching, and a website well worth delving into. History has a tendency to repeat itself, and we surely do not want this to happen again.
