It won four Directors Guild of Canada Awards, nine Canadian Comedy Awards, five Writer’s Guild of Canada Screenwriting Awards and seven Gemini Awards, including three for Best Comedy Series. It has continued as an animated series, Corner Gas Animated, since 2018.

    Corridart (1976)

    Corridart dans la rue Sherbrooke was an exhibit of installation artworks organized by Melvin Charney and commissioned for the 1976 Olympic Summer Games in Montreal. The exhibit stretched for several kilometres along Sherbrooke Street. It comprised 16 major installations, about 80 minor installations, and several small performance venues and related projects. It was funded by the Quebec culture ministry and was intended as an international showcase for Quebec artists. But roughly a week after it was unveiled, Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau had the exhibit destroyed on the grounds that it was obscene. Most of the artists involved did not recover their works. Drapeau never apologized and subsequent legal actions dragged on for more than a decade. Given the size, scope and budget of the exhibit, the dismantling of Corridart might be the single largest example of arts censorship in Canadian history.

    Flower-class Corvettes

    Corvettes were small, lightly armed Canadian-built warships used for anti-submarine warfare in the Second World War. With the threat by German U-Boats to convoys on the North Atlantic from the outset of the war, Canada needed to produce ships quickly. The answer was the corvette, a vessel of barely 1,000 tonnes and about 63m long. Construction began early in 1940 and the first 14 appeared in the St Lawrence in the last months of the year. In total, Canada’s 111 corvettes comprised a quarter of its combat fleet; ten of those were lost in action.
