The Face of the Rails: Black Porters in Canada

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Black porters were integral to the day-to-day operations of Canadian railways from the late 19th to mid 20th century. The Black men who made up the majority of porters already experienced racism in Canadian society at large. In the context of their work, they faced the intensely racist and discriminatory policies of the railway companies and the white-led unions. These experiences made political and labour leaders out of many of them, as they fought discrimination on and off the rails. The role

Welcome back, my reading friend, and profuse apologies. Yours truly remembers only too well my December 2022 statement according to which I hereby and heretofore endeavoured to valiantly attempt to be briefer in my perorations.

The Junkers Ju 52 of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec, was being

Welcome back, my reading friend. I am pleased to welcome you yet again to the wonderful world of aviation. You will undoubtedly remember that, when we flew off last week, we were in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in late December 1931, with the crew of a Junkers Ju 52 cargo plane bought a few months before by Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. As you may well imagine, said crew took a few days off during the holiday season. Mind you, it was very likely that these gentlemen joined Canadian

May I begin this issue of our tremendous blog / bulletin / thingee with a heartfelt aeronautical hello? Yours truly would like to bring to you attention this week the remarkable career of an equally remarkable bushplane, the Junkers Ju 52 “flying box car” registered as CF-ARM of Canadian Airways Limited of Montréal, Québec. And yes, I still very much intend to valiantly attempt to be briefer. So, let us begin. Canadian Airways was created in November 1930, from the merger of Western Canada

Happy New Year, my reading friend.

Before going any further, allow me to quote, in translation, the caption which accompanied the photograph of the domestic / home snowblower which appeared in January 1948 in the daily

Greetings, my faithful reading friend. Yours truly is indeed happy that you agreed to join me in our examination of the second flight impact simulator of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a national museum located in Ottawa, Ontario.

Although not a major player in the Canadian aircraft industry, that firm was one of the major players in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia during the 1950s and 1960s
