Hey there, time traveller!

If David O’Keefe plays his cards right, his new book might end up as a screenplay about one of the deadliest days in Canada’s war history.
The professor at Marianopolis College in Westmount, Quebec has just released a new book, One Day in August, which is billed as the true story behind the raid at Dieppe.
In less than six hours on August 19, 1942, nearly one thousand Canadians — as well as British and Americans — lay dead or dying on the beaches around the French seaside town, with more than two thousand other Canadians wounded or captured.
O’Keefe dropped by the Winnipeg Free Press News Café on Monday to discuss what he unearthed from many years of research.
