2001 was a year that changed everything—from the tragedy of 9/11 to the cultural milestones that still shape our world today. Shane Hewitt and Ryan O’Donnell rewind the clock for a Throwback Thursday that covers it all: Jean Chrétien in Ottawa, George W. Bush entering the White House, and China joining the World Trade Organization. They revisit the launch of Wikipedia and the iPod, remember George Harrison, and celebrate the rise of Nickelback, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings. Alongside the heartbreak of September 11, the story of Gander, Newfoundland’s compassion shines as a reminder of Canada’s role in history.
