Tonight, the Vancouver Convention Centre markers and Olympic cauldron will be lit up in red, white, and green to commemorate the events of 1956 and the many Hungarians 🇭🇺 who arrived in British Columbia.
Today marks 70 years since the start of the 1956 #Hungarian Revolution. A decade ago, I marked the 60th anniversary with a series of reports based on interviews I conducted while in #Hungary. Here are those reports, as they were filed 10 years ago. johnackermann.substack.com/p…

Listening to Christie Strauss from the @policemuseum on @CBCEarlyEdition talk about the move to the new location in the Woodwards building. Sad to see the departure from the old Coroners Court, but she makes a good case for why it needs to moved.
And thanks for the shout out!
