eleven days vanished in 1752 and people in halifax just went to bed on september 2 and woke up on september 14. the bit that gets me is the acadians already had the gregorian calendar, so the british were the ones catching up after generations. imagine a whole city losing a week and a half overnight, that's the kind of history i want staged #halifax #history https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-sco…
