1993 Revisited: From Kim Campbell to the Blue Jays’ Glory

Shane rewinds to 1993 for a Throwback Thursday filled with seismic moments in Canadian politics, sports, and technology. Canada’s first female Prime Minister, Kim Campbell, had just taken office before a historic election shifted the political landscape. The Somalia Affair and the Krever Inquiry into tainted blood defined headlines, while the Toronto Blue Jays capped off back-to-back World Series victories—sharing the spotlight with the Canadiens’ Stanley Cup win in the same year. Beyond the headlines, Adobe Acrobat debuted, the PDF was born, and the Canadarm continued to prove Canada’s mark in space exploration. It was a year of change, triumph, and transformation that still echoes today.
