Good morning everyone! Today in 1982, years of political wrangling ended when Queen Elizabeth signed the royal proclamation of Canadas constitution in a Parliament Hill ceremony. Patriating the Constitution, with a Charter of Rights and Freedoms, was a long-time goal of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Section 15 of the Charter, the equality rights guarantee, was proclaimed three years later. Also today in 1964, the Ford Motor Co. unveiled the Mustang at the New York Worlds Fair and in 1970, the three Apollo 13 astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, four days after their capsule was crippled by an oxygen tank explosion. The mishap caused their planned moon landing to be cancelled. Have a great day!
