Throwback Thursday 2005: Paul Martin, a Harry Potter Leak, and Internet That Felt Fast

Canada in 2005 looked familiar in ways that are hard to ignore: a minority government, a floor crossing, and a prime minister under real pressure.

George W. Bush was in the White House with a war on. Harry Potter was everywhere, including in the hands of people who bought it weeks too early from a store that almost certainly regretted the decision. And the internet? Blazing fast, until you compare it to what exists now.

Topics: Canada in 2005, Belinda Stronach, Harry Potter book leak, broadband internet, Throwback Thursday
