Did you know that in July 1936 there was a heat wave felt across Canada that saw temperatures of 105+ for over a week?

This, of course, was before the invention of the air conditioner. Many people died from this heat wave, some 1200+ throughout parts of Ontario and Manitoba.

Huh.

I didn't know that. I know that 1936 was the year of the Olympic games in Berlin, Germany. And the highlight of that event was when Jesse Owens became a four time gold medalist by competing in track and field events.
