"CANADIAN CODFISH FULL OF VITAMINS," Toronto Star. November 3, 1943. Page 5. --- This 50-pound codfish is a sample of what is being hauled out of the ocean these days by 3,000 Canadian fishermen who are working off Gaspe peninsula in an effort to supply the home market with cod liver oil that was formerly imported from Scandinavian countries. In addition to furnishing the vitamin-rich oil, the codfish are dried and salted and shipped overseas to Allied troops.

The Battle of Rivière-Ouelle

In 1690, Québec's Governor Frontenac sent ships to raid English settlements in New York and New England. British General Phips of Boston retaliated by sending ships to attack Acadia. Caught by surprise, Acadia was taken on May 21, 1690. Phips’ next target was Québec.

On his way up the St. Lawrence River, Phips decided to burn and loot villages, one such being Rivière-Ouelle.

Rivière-Ouelle, and below, a map showing individual inhabitants listed by name.

According to 19th century writer, H. R. Casgrain:

“One morning in the month of October 1690, a considerable detachment of Canadian settlers, armed for war, strode through the forest of spruce, fir and maple trees that still shade the edge of the River Ouelle.

The leader of the militia was none other than the parish priest, Father Francheville, a fifty-year old of fiery and impetuous character. "My friends," he told the men of the village earlier, "the news is about war. I just learned by letters from Québec, the English intend to seize the country to avenge the defeats we have inflicted upon them. It seems that a fleet of over 30 sails will soon appear. Already M. de Frontenac has sent detachments of militia to both sides of the river to prevent the enemy from making any landing. It must be believed that our governor is relying on your courage, since he sent none of his soldiers here. I would not recognize you were you to be so cowardly as to allow these Bostonian miscreats to land without firing a shot. You know what awaits you if you allow them to succeed: they will burn your houses, your church, desecrate what's holy as they have already done elsewhere, and they will drag everyone into captivity, you, your wives and children. Take arms and be ready for the first signal. "

Thus prepared, the inhabitants of Rivière-Ouelle opened fire when the British disembarked, killing and wounding many British and causing the remainder to retreat back to their ship. Similarly, Governor Frontenac, who was awaiting the British further up the St. Laurence, used forces to repell further attacks, destroying nine British ships in the process.

Some of the Canadians who successfully defended the small settlement of Rivière-Ouelle that day were:

"When Canada was fighting wildfires in Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia in 2023, blazes that would go on to eventually burn more than 45 million acres, more than 2,000 American firefighters helped extinguish the flames.

Now, Canada has returned the favor. It is sending air tankers and dozens of its own battle-tested wildland firefighters to Los Angeles, its government said. Air tankers can deliver thousands of gallons of fire retardant or water to wildland firefighters on the ground.

More personnel and equipment from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta are ready to be mobilized, according to government officials. And a team of senior technical staff members from British Columbia will fill specialized roles, the government said.

“We both know that Canada and the United States are more than just neighbours,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on X on Friday. “We’re friends — especially when times get tough. California’s always had our back when we battle wildfires up north. Now, Canada’s got yours.”

Mexico quickly followed, dispatching a crew of firefighters early Saturday to help the huge deployment already underway.

“We are a country of generosity and solidarity,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X. Ms. Sheinbaum said that the group was carrying “the courage and heart of Mexico.”

Before departing Mexico City for California, the Mexican firefighters held the flags of California, Mexico and the United States on the runway.

Mexico’s civil protection agency said that “cooperation has no borders” and that the mission reaffirmed “its solidarity with the people of California.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California said that he was grateful for the support from both countries."

Canada's emergency preparedness minister says Canadian military personnel, their equipment and another 250 firefighters stand "ready to support our American neighbours" as wildfires devastate parts of Southern California.  Harjit Sajjan says in a social media post that "Team Canada, with Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta, is ready to deploy 250 firefighters, aircraft equipment, and other resources as early as" Thursday night.  Sajjan's pledge comes as the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre said Thursday that the U.S. National Interagency Fire Centre asked for two of its CL-415 Skimmer Airtankers to join the fight against the fires. "The request is being actioned but the delivery timeline is currently unavailable," the agency said in an email to The Canadian Press. "We are also proactively working to identify potential resource availability, should more requests come in.

"Mother Held In Contempt," Montreal Star. May 12, 1943. Page 3. ---- Scorns Order to Hand 2 Children to Husband ---- For refusing to obey an order of the Superior Court to deliver up to her husband their two young children, Mrs. Donat Roberge was today declared in contempt of court by Mr. Justice Forest and ordered to be sent to jail until she obeys the order. His Lordship authorized the husband to go to his wife's residence with a bailiff, policeman and locksmith, if necessary, and take the children by force.

Two days ago His Lordship issued the first order by which he took the custody of the two children from the mother and gave them to the father. In his judgment, His Lordship reached the conclusion that the mother was unworthy to have the children because she was neglecting them and keeping them in premises, part of which were a "rooming house used for immoral purposes." Also His Lordship said, there was evidence that the mother was given to the use of blasphemous language in the hearing of the children and was herself negligent in her religious duties.

His Lordship accordingly declared that the children should be handed over to Roberge, whose wife had originally obtained them as an incident in a separation action she had taken against him and which he was unable to contest because at the time he was on relief and did not have the money. After the judgment was rendered the bailiff reported he attempted to serve it on the wife but she gave him to understand that she would not give up the children.

The husband then went back to the court with a request that his wife be declared in contempt of court for refusing to obey the court order. The petition has now been granted.
