  Voices From The Past - Ken Osborne
It was perhaps this failure of the Senators to show any awareness of the debates of historians over the nature of history that, in part, led Canadian historians to turn a deaf ear to their appeal to define a common history to be learned by all Canadians.
Nor were historians any more inclined to step into what they saw as a political minefield, especially when it entailed defending a view of history that they had themselves long abandoned.
In 1946 the Manitoba-based historian, W.L. Morton, observed that a national textbook was as unacceptable to Western Canada as it was to Quebec.

 Listservs for Theatre
A listserv works like an electronic mail distribution list, subscribers receive any mail that is posted to the group – most of which is germane to the basic subject matter the group serves.
Some lists require that you send the subscription message to “listproc” (a computer list processor) and other listservs are subscribed through an individual who screens requests and manages the list.
Both lists include most of the Listservs listed at the end of this column, but when I checked, McCoy's was updated more recently than Torres' list and also had a section devoted to new groups.

The Canadian History Portal is a joint project of the Canadian Historical Association (CHA) and Chinook Multimedia Inc., an Edmonton-based producer of digital material in Canadian history that is owned by two professional historians.
