A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Check out !Independent_Media@lemmy.today for independent news from around the world.

Or go to !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works for a less serious, anything-goes news community

All communities were created with the goal of increasing media literacy and media pluralism.

MODERATORS
 

Known for their signature multi-stripe design, point blankets were first turned into coats by a group of Indigenous women who were hired by British captain Charles Roberts to create new winter outerwear for soldiers at the fort that he commanded near Sault Ste. Marie in 1811. The point coat was first sold commercially in 1922, eventually becoming such an important Canadian symbol that they were proudly worn by the Canadian national team in both the 1964 and 1968 Winter Olympic parades.
