Blakey said:Hope this is the right place for this :-[ but ive been scrolling through the history calendar and Ive found an error with it. It is in reguards to the entry for Jan 25th 1952 which reads:
1952: Vincent Massey appointed first Governor-General of Canada
This is wrong on two counts.
1 He wasnt appointed GG on that day, it was Feb 1st 1952
2 He wasnt the first GG he was the 18th (Since confederation), although he was in fact the first GG to be born in Canada, which is why it is such a historic event. Because all other subsequint GG's had to be Cdn Citizens.
Info is here>>>

Incidentally, why do you have the insignia of the Govenor General, as well as the Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation in your profile? Your age is listed as 35 which means you're too young to have served with the PPCLI in Korea. Did you earn this citation serving with US forces, perhaps?
