Fair use rationale for Image:Mahovolich4Kelly8.jpg
Image:Mahovolich4Kelly8.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Confederation Train
A special train and locomotive were built for the centennial year, and toured across southern Canada that year. My brother's school class toured the train. Whatever became of that train's components after the centennial year? Many years later, Canada bought the Freedom Train from the United States (bicentennial) and renamed it the Discovery Train, though pulling it with diesels. Why could they not have simply resurrected the Confederation Train of 1967? GBC (talk) 09:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Berton's 1967 the last good year
Someone keeps trying to delete information from the book. As stated, Pierre Burton's book from 1997, has as its central thesis that that 1967 was Canada's pinnacle, and accurately reports that the Quebec separtist debate and the eventual PQ victory in the provincial election in 1976, economically devastated Montreal in the late 1970s, as one corporation after another moved their headquarters to Toronto. The point of the sentence in the article was that it demonstrated that 1967 was the last year in Canada, for a long time, that divisions related to separatism, provincial rights and constitutions did not dominate and divide the country, as well as other issues. As written in the article, it is appropriate and should remain.--Abebenjoe (talk) 21:45, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I added two little reformulation to make it clear that this entire paragraph is Burton's opinion. This was not clear. Enteka2010 (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

O Canada as national anthem
At some point, an editor put an unsourced claim that O Canada was made the nation's official anthem on April 12, 1967. This is utterly false. As shown in this citation from the June 27, '1980 edition of the Ottawa Citizen, "It's official — finally, O Canada our anthem."--Abebenjoe (talk) 23:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
