Blue Rodeo

Blue Rodeo, a rock group, was formed in 1984 by high school friends and songwriters Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor. After playing as the high-energy pop group the HiFi's and the New York-based Fly to France, Cuddy and Keelor returned to Toronto and recruited self-taught jazz pianist Bobby Wiseman, bass guitarist Bazil Donovan, and drummer Cleave Anderson. Beginning in clubs along their hometown's Queen Street, Blue Rodeo delivered a melodic blend of folk, rock and country marked by Beatle-esque harmonies.

Blue Rodeo

Its affinity for the "roots music" styles of US pop - country, rockabilly, and folk-rock, as well as rock 'n' roll - initially drew Blue Rodeo comparisons to The Band and gave it both a populist and critical appeal.

Blue Rodeo (Profile)

Jim Cuddy hears the music. I see the grotty stairwell. Standing in the open doorway amid the stacks of cardboard boxes and equipment cases, he slaps his palms together and cocks his head for the echo that stretches thin above us.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on July 15, 2002

Blue Whale

The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest animal known to have ever lived on Earth. It is a difficult whale to study because of its low numbers and its preference for deep, offshore waters. Within Balaenoptera musculus, authorities recognize between three and five subspecies. Blue whales live in oceans throughout the world, including off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. Although blue whale sightings are rare, experts believe that about 250 mature individuals live off each coast.

Blueberry

Blueberries are a group of shrubs in the genus Vaccinium that bear edible blue, black or purple berries. The berries can be consumed fresh, frozen or dried. Their taste and health benefits contribute to their importance as an agricultural crop. Different blueberry species and cultivars are grown across Canada. Vaccinium is a cosmopolitan genus (i.e., with species found across the world) and is only absent from Australia and Antarctica. There are approximately 480 species, but only a limited number are thought of as blueberries. They are closely related to a few other edible Vaccinium species, including cranberries, lingonberries, huckleberries and grouseberries. Black- and blue-fruited huckleberries and bilberries are also often considered blueberries and are included here. Like other plants in the heath family (Ericaceae), blueberries naturally grow in acidic, often boggy soils, where other kinds of plants often struggle to extract sufficient nutrition. Across North America, Europe and Asia, there are at least 30 Vaccinium species that could be classified as blueberries. In Canada, that number is around a dozen. Most North American blueberries are deciduous shrubs, though there are a few evergreens. The deciduous leaves of blueberries are renowned for their brilliant orange to scarlet autumn colour.

Editorial

Editorial: The Indomitable Bluenose

As a symbol of Atlantic Canada and the golden age of sail, the Bluenose has no peer. She was launched in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, 26 March 1921. Built entirely of Nova Scotia wood (except for the Oregon pine needed for the masts), Bluenose bobbed high in the water but settled down to her beautiful line as the ballast was poured in. When the finishing touches were being applied, the shipwright was asked, "What is this one going to be like?" "She will be all right, but she is a bit different to most vessels," was the understated reply.
