Canadian Red Ensign 1957-1965
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arne Stern
Arne Stern (21 April 1927 - 1994) was the lead on the Norrköpings CK curling team (from Sweden) during the World Curling Championships known as the 1962 Scotch Cup. Stern and his team won his lone Swedish Men's Curling Championship in 1962, and represented Sweden at the 1962 Scotch Cup World Championships. There, they lost all their games. One factor that was to their disfavour was the fact that the Swedes were used to a rule where they had to release the rock before the tee-line, which was not the rule in international play. Stern would not win another Swedish men's championships, but won a national seniors championship in 1975 (again with 1962 teammates Rolf Arfwidsson and Knut Bartels Knut Göran "Kåge" Bartels (born 24 June 1930) is a Swedish former curler.
