Good morning everyone! 100 years ago today, Austria declared war on Serbia, touching off the First World War. Britain subsequently declared war on Germany and Austro-Hungary. Britains declaration automatically included Canada, as part of the British Empire. Canadian casualties during the war numbered about 68,000. Also today in 1984, the Los Angeles Summer Olympics opened, minus 15 countries who stayed away in a Soviet-led boycott and in 1998, Monica Lewinsky was granted full immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for testifying about her alleged affair with U.S. President Bill Clinton.
