December. 1837. Rebellion has broken out in Toronto. The old mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, has gathered a rebel army north of the city in an attempt to launch a revolution that would overthrown British rule. His aim: to create an independent Canadian republic. As news reaches the city, government supporters race to defend the town. And among those risking their lives to put down the rebellion are two teenage girls. The De Grassi kids. Charlotte and Cornelia.
Another great post, Adam, thank you! Re: plaques that have gone missing. The same thing is happening where I live which is in rural Mono just outside of Orangeville (we’re in Blount; our neighbouring hamlet is Salem). Our historical plaques have gone missing in the last few years. Theft, for sure, but makes you wonder how widespread this is.

That's awful to hear — sad to know the problem might be so widespread.
