		During these formative years in Hollywood, silent screen actors were just faces because studio owners refused to list the names of the film's cast members, fearing that fame might lead to demands for higher wages.

	The True North, Strong and Meek
		Virtually no Canadian voice of the past is left unheard and readers are presented with a decent overview of animation beyond the National Film Board of Canada.
		As an equivalent, imagine overlooking the contributions of Atom Egoyan, Denys Arcand and other Canadian filmmakers in favour of James Cameron, Jim Carrey and Pamela Anderson who, while all Canadian, have contributed nothing to the Canadian cultural landscape except for a birth certificate.
		Understandably selling a book on Canadian animation to a general audience is a tough task that needs glossy pictures, an easy to read style, a loopy, "cartoony" cover, and proof that we’ve been accepted by focusing on Canadians who have made it in Hollywood.

	Berton, Pierre
		From the late 1950s to the early 90s, he was a staple of Canadian TV as host of his own shows or as a panelist.
		In turning to the WAR OF 1812 in The Invasion of Canada (1980) and Flames Across the Border (1981) Berton again dealt with events large enough to contain his heroic vision of what the past should be, and the smell of gunpowder quickened his pace without leading to narrative excesses.
		Berton returned to the writing of popular history, with The Promised Land (1984), a history of the settling of the Canadian West, and his hugely successful Vimy (1986), an examination of the WWI battle in which the Canadian Corps took VIMY RIDGE in April 1917.

		Early in Massey's career, Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926), heard Massey perform and was struck by the close similarity of Massey's speaking voice to that of his father.
		Despite being Canadian, Massey became famous for his quintessential American roles, as Abraham Lincoln in 1940's Abe Lincoln in Illinois (for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor), in 1941's Santa Fe Trail, in which he played abolitionist John Brown, and as Lincoln again in 1962's How the West Was Won.

	PeterWatkins_Statement3
		The powerful and realistic 'acting' by the young cast, the way certain expressions of bewilderment are held, the determination of the children to act for the good of others in the face of appalling odds, all work to transcend the normal application of the Monoform.
		I often compare the Hollywood narrative structure to a roller-coaster, on which the feelings of the audience are carefully positioned, for a predetermined and carefully guided journey.
		Hollywood film producers, and TV executives who commission documentary films, use the narrative structure for exactly the same reason: to distract, and to lead the audience by the nose.

		Also note: the endnotes contain links to Canadian firearms statutes; the on-line edition of the statute may not necessarily include the exact wording of the present statute, and the on-line edition may also be somewhat different from the section of the statute in effect in 1991.
		Evaluating gun use in Canada in the early 1970s, before the new law was enacted, researchers Stenning and Moyer found that "[c]ontrary to popular belief, accidental firearms deaths are quite rare in Canada."[200] Teenage males aged fifteen to nineteen were the largest victim group.
		[248] When Canadians were asked whether they would comply with a number of hypothetical laws such as a public ban on smoking, a prohibition on alcoholic beverages, firearms registration, or a handgun surrender law, they showed a much higher expectation of voluntary compliance than their southern neighbors.

	Muskoka Awakening - The New Era
		Early pioneers began to take in lodgers and some of the more astute landowners realized that there was tourist gold at their doorstep.
		A boon to the larger towns of Muskoka are the growing number of active early retirees who are selecting these towns to live in as they dispose of their large city homes and seek the peace of a country setting within a few hours of city life.
		Today the seasonal property owners are moving to winterize their properties as it becomes apparent that life in Muskoka no longer ends at Thanksgiving but is transformed by a new beauty and solitude in the winter and spring.

		Although Canadian films have often received critical praise, and the National Film Board has won more Academy Awards than almost any other institution (for both their animation and documentary work), it is almost a national joke that Canadian films fail to make back their production costs at the box office.
		Most Canadians who want to make a living in television or movie work often face the inevitable choice of moving to Los Angeles in order to be near producers, directors and casting agents.
		Canadian film tends to be more director-driven than star-driven, and has much more in common with the European auteur model of filmmaking than with the Hollywood star system.

	Louis B. Mayer Summary
		Others saw their careers cut off because of some perceived or actual slight to the great mogul.
		That Mayer was widely reviled in the Hollywood of his time as a crass, cruel vulgarian does not diminish one whit from his influence on the history of film.
		Although he had a reputation for ruthless expediency and allegedly narrow views about what subjects were suitable topics for motion pictures, Katharine Hepburn referred to him as a "nice man" (she personally negotiated many of her contracts with him).

	Conventions of Sound in Documentary
		Hollywood directors shoot individual shots one at a time under optimal conditions, while documentary filmmakers often shoot entire scenes in one long take in unpredictable situations.
		Hollywood studios developed elaborate means of maintaining continuity through supervision of scripts, props, lighting, performance, and shooting style, means typically unavailable to documentary filmmakers.

	Aviation Pioneers -- Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary
		While Earhart, Hughes, and others pushed themselves and their airplanes to their limits in pursuit of trans-global records, other intrepid aviators were testing their own limitations while exploring the harshest and most remote areas of the world, the polar regions.
		As aviators were exploring the most extreme reaches of the Earth during the 1920s and 1930s and setting records in the process, other pilots were establishing their own series of records at the major air racing trophy contests of the period.

	The Canadian Blog Exchange - History::Cultures and Places
		Canadians are not generally regarded as a people attached to their heritage, so the opportunity to dust off pieces of Canadian history is there for us to discover.
		While going through the list of Canadian names on various web sites dedicated to the silent film era, the one thing that caught my attention was how this presence and influence seemed disproportionate to Canada's tiny population, which grew from 7 million in 1910 to 10 million in 1930.

	Canadian Culture in Canada
		One bone of contention in the effort to understand Canadian culture revolves around the fact that Canada is bilingual; there is little reason to question the distinct identity of the English- and French-speaking peoples of Canada.
		A good number of Canadian pioneers in the early Hollywood days contributed significantly to the establishment of the movie industry in the early days of the 20th century.
		According to Nationmaster.com, "Canadians are stereotyped by other nationalities as being nice, but rather dull-'decaffeinated Americans' being one description, while the definition of a Canadian as 'an American with healthcare and no gun' is another.
