So on behalf of the society and also for hosting

Unknown Speaker 0:25
right so this is what I was talking about whether or not to introduce you to some of this material now what's happened what's fascinating is first of all

Unknown Speaker 0:59
Chris our next original piece of research on the wash it will come up

Unknown Speaker 1:11
in this this so we took that and we started to do that with understanding the diversity and every year

Unknown Speaker 1:38
and also in terms of

Unknown Speaker 1:49
business a

Unknown Speaker 1:54
woman who's actually a psychologist and is very much by

Unknown Speaker 2:17
the way these are these are

Unknown Speaker 2:34
a look at

Unknown Speaker 2:43
this wonderful

Unknown Speaker 2:58
and the third one

Unknown Speaker 3:01
is and this is something that teenagers you shouldn't notice

Unknown Speaker 3:20
to do with one way or the other side they will fall farmers have lots of leaving the farm going all that way to construction sites the numbers

Unknown Speaker 3:55
Institute statistics to focus on these chapters originally was in England so let's have a look at

Unknown Speaker 4:15
and check

Unknown Speaker 4:19
out our show you might recognize Gavin welcome

Unknown Speaker 4:33
the sprint with Sprint and to the left on the bottom

Unknown Speaker 4:53
Welcome to Lesson four Oftentimes mortality particularly

Unknown Speaker 5:05
is not for a child to

Unknown Speaker 5:19
see so Cecil was paralyzed partially by some of

Unknown Speaker 5:33
the stars of the world what's funny this is the sprinkler right

Unknown Speaker 5:49
here is just saw this is obviously a show

Unknown Speaker 6:12
that steps in depth this is Robinson and this is 34 seconds just didn't happen to be in this thing but what this tells you is that young men haven't gone to war many of the things we've got here this

Unknown Speaker 6:49
year yeah so I think we have

Unknown Speaker 6:59
anniversary members of the Legion and the celebration DLC

Unknown Speaker 7:14
is too late to go

Unknown Speaker 7:23
to the cinema alive and one of them was the other one was actually just so extreme

Unknown Speaker 7:50
This is what exists for those of you who don't know how to wash right we don't know if it's a put up just pretending to

Unknown Speaker 8:10
be as

Unknown Speaker 8:14
nice as the last one

Unknown Speaker 8:18
and supplementing not because of the extra names of the Legions as well

Unknown Speaker 8:35
so we now have a humble young man that's interested in

Unknown Speaker 8:48
the population

Unknown Speaker 8:52
the population in Canada

Unknown Speaker 9:01
the office so it was my recruitment 20 young men

Unknown Speaker 9:33
and I should add to that focus on the

Unknown Speaker 9:46
percentage of the population me some idea of what the Messiah

Unknown Speaker 10:00
The 2019 census is so central to why it's so scary and I expected them to be so much further

Unknown Speaker 10:24
one clue is comes from the center so I have the trigger for the 1940s

Unknown Speaker 10:39
and more your lighting systems actually were more or less exactly that

Unknown Speaker 11:00
us here in that first year that is wonderful

Unknown Speaker 11:16
I think what this does is seek to capture these days we tend to be more cynical about people they did have the home country

Unknown Speaker 11:45
so, that was the cause of the cause

Unknown Speaker 11:58
you can see what you can see they don't use case and then the candidate was the young so I thought that just because now the folks with statistics the number of recruits died in Canada 65

Unknown Speaker 12:49
Essentially what's what's

Unknown Speaker 12:58
the percentage 67 So why did

Unknown Speaker 13:17
this idea it

Unknown Speaker 13:42
to sell those

Unknown Speaker 13:55
clothes

Unknown Speaker 14:59
Some

Unknown Speaker 17:07
luck

Unknown Speaker 17:17
like to sign

Unknown Speaker 17:25
up this is actually just wanted to talk a little bit about what that was like when

Unknown Speaker 17:49
which is nice and

Unknown Speaker 18:01
smooth

Unknown Speaker 18:13
was

Unknown Speaker 18:24
this is actually

Unknown Speaker 18:30
a week off this kind of

Unknown Speaker 18:37
report

Unknown Speaker 18:46
he was in back on strong

Unknown Speaker 18:54
while she was evolving

Unknown Speaker 19:04
in many ways and I believe

Unknown Speaker 19:15
now this is this is one of the surprises I have this is how I read Genesis and this is when he stopped on his way back

Unknown Speaker 19:48
after the lifetime

Unknown Speaker 19:57
of this asset Credit and I'm going to show you this this here says best hospital diagnosis influenza

Unknown Speaker 20:14
influenza

Unknown Speaker 20:23

Unknown Speaker 20:26
a young boy he was in Boston and so it's funny

Unknown Speaker 20:43
we have heard the operation the beginning of the war that actually

Unknown Speaker 20:51
he had seen

Unknown Speaker 21:00
getting medical people cold medicine is about to resign which was option a third of soldiers it was typically a five days

Unknown Speaker 21:35
typical process which is sometimes occurs

Unknown Speaker 21:45
then had an influence in December

Unknown Speaker 21:49

success is essentially all the design of machine and components he didn't come back

Unknown Speaker 28:44
