The first article I have chosen to do a bloglog about is the September 10th, 1939 Canadian Gazette “Proclamation of War” article written by Ernest Lapointe (attorney-general of Canada at the time), L.S. Tweedsmuir, and W.L. Mackenzie King, prime minister of Canada.  I was drawn to this article because I am fascinated by war history.  My great grandparents and great, great uncles all took part in world war 2 and did what they could to serve for this country.  The article really portrays the time era in the way its written grammatically, and indicates very well that Canada was then at a state of war with Germany.  This article makes me feel very fortunate to be living in the time that I am because at this point in my great grandparents lives and their siblings lives is when this article would’ve been released originally.  This is an article I have seen referenced in a series of historical fictions books I read a while ago based during the time era of world war 2 on the European Front, in France, and in Britain about Canadian soldiers.
