The Great Depression was at its height in 1932 and, as Christmas approached, Donald Munro was out of work — so instead of buying his kids a gift, he made them one. It proved to be an international sensation. New post on the humble birth of table hockey: tinyurl.com/tablehockeyTO
This photo was taken on New Year's Eve at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto — revellers ringing in 1942. It turns out there's a wild story behind it: a tragic tale filled with scandal, war, Broadway stars & betrayal... Shared it in my annual thread over on the blue site...
My favourite stories from The Toronto History Weekly this year — including: The 9-year-old rebel who blazed the way for women's hockey... The FBI raid on Donald Sutherland's house... A brief history bald eagles in Toronto... And much more: tinyurl.com/tohistory2024
It begins tonight! Toronto stories about people fighting oppression, overthrowing tyranny, working to help others, and striving to make the world a better place.

Just two more days until "A History of Hope & Resistance in Toronto" begins!
Doctor Who was created by a Canadian. I shared my big, wild annual thread about him — and how he ended up as a possible target for kidnapping by the FLQ — on the other place: tinyurl.com/whothread2024 Follow me there if you'd like to continue following my work!
A History of Hope & Resistance in Toronto — my new online course — starts next week! All over Zoom, recorded if you have to miss any of it, and pay-what-you-like: adambunch.com/hoperegistrati…
One spring day 79 years ago, a Canadian medic leapt out of a plane high above Nazi Germany & began floating toward the ground. Shared my annual thread about Toppy Topham — and how he died — on the other site this year: tinyurl.com/topham2024
1/ This might be the most dishonest use of a 5-point likert scale I have ever seen. Holy shit this is bad. Don't know if it s @robertbenzie's interpretation or @DavidColetto's but it should be punishable by incarceration.
