Luminous Anniversaries
FYI: National Aboriginal Day is actually June 22nd
(soon to be renamed by Justin: ''National Indigenous'' appears to be more... genuine.)
But the 25th Anniversary Conference will be held on November 12th
through November 14th - inclusively!
Oskar would have been 117 in 2017...
31st Anniversary of a certain trade that keeps on giving...
Canada's 150th...
(they were not officially a nation, before that -

''Like I said, Luke: scum and villainy!''
''Pardon, Ben... I thought you said... vi-llia-ny?''
''Did I? It was the atheist unbalance in the Force here
that made me sputter off such idiotic non-words!''
''The Force is weak with the atheist... aye?''
''Aye!''
Maybe it is time for some...
Hmm?
100 years ago...
11 years ago...
20 years ago, this under-appreciated masterpiece was released:

... and, as seen on ''l.p. - luminous pondering''...
(sorry, Marguerite B - we dumped you in favor of Jacques!
We value the discovery of things more than the groundwork, somehow -
must be a Portuguese thing... sue us, will ya?!?)
Newsweek may have a drastically different list
on the same subject here - but they're missing out
on three of the most crucial ones,
found right here
and only here
on TLB Prime.
