    Just a little 
    bit west 
    of 
    Kapuskasing,|Reesor Crossing, 
    that's the 
    name.|Farmers hauled, 
    from 
    out of the 
    bush
    land,|pulpwood for 
    the 
    mill- bound 
    train.||Twenty farmers 
    met that 
    night,|to guard their 
    pulp from 
    a 
    union 
    strike,|unaware this 
    night would 
    see a 
    reesor crossing 
    tragedy, 
    |the Reesor Crossing 
    Tragedy.||'You'll never 
    load that 
    pile 
    of 
    lumber',|said the Uni
    on 
    men, 
    when they 
    came.|Though they 
    numbered 
    about 
    five 
    hundred, 
    |the twenty 
    farmers 
    took 
    rifle 
    aim.||'We've got 
    to get our 
    pulpwood out, 
    |before the 
    muskeg 
    frost comes 
    out
    '.|'And may God 
    help us 
    all to 
    see, 
    |no Reesor Crossing 
    Tragedy'.||'You'll never 
    touch this 
    pile 
    of 
    lumber',|but they 
    came, 
    and 
    tragically,|three men 
    died, 
    that 
    february, 

    |in the 
    year 
    of 
    '63||Eight more 
    wounded, 
    some beat 
    up|tires slashed 
    on 
    the 
    lumber 
    trucks.|A night of 
    death, 
    and 
    destiny 
    - |the Ree
    sor Crossing 
    Tragedy.||'You'll never 
    touch this 
    pile of 
    lumber',|seven words 
    that 
    spelled out 
    pain.|For the 
    widows 
    and their 
    children, 
    |and their 
    men 
    who died 
    in 
    vain.||How can 
    anyone 
    forget, 
    |the bloodiest 
    labour 
    battle 
    yet, 
    |in all Canadian 
    history?|The Reesor Crossing 
    tragedy. 
    ||Just a 
    little bit 
    west 
    of 
    Kapuskasing,|they erected 
    a 
    sculpture 
    beside 
    the 
    tracks,|of the 
    bushman 
    and 
    his 
    family,|who live 
    their 
    lives 
    behind 
    the 
    axe.||It reminds 
    us 
    in the 
    North,|not to 
    bring out 
    tempers 
    forth,|that there may 
    never 
    else
    where 
    be|no Reesor Crossing Tragedy.|

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
