Good morning everyone! Today in 1868, Thomas DArcy McGee, one of the most brilliant orators in Canadian parliamentary history, was assassinated in Ottawa by a member of the Fenian Brotherhood. The Irish-born Father of Confederation worked as a journalist and poet before first being elected to the Canadian legislature in 1858. Also today in 1927, an audience in New York saw an image of U.S. Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover in the first successful long-distance demonstration of television and in 1977, the Toronto Blue Jays played their inaugural regular season game. After a pre-game snowstorm at Exhibition Stadium, the Blue Jays got two home runs from first baseman Doug Ault in beating the visiting Chicago White Sox 9-5. Have a great day!
