May 8, 1987: Happy Birthday to the 'Loonie'. Canada's one dollar coin was issued by the Canadian Mint. Pockets have sagged ever since.

May 7, 1945: VE Day! the end of the war in Europe. Toronto and the rest of the nation went crazy in celebration. Halifax saw riots and vandalism by servicemen, drunk and exhausted from the years of conflict.

May 8th marks the anniversary of the official end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945, known as V-E Day (Victory in Europe day).
