It Happened in Canada was a syndicated Canadian cartoon feature by Gordon Johnston that presented Canadian facts and achievements in a manner similar to Ripley's Believe It or Not!. As many as 65 newspapers in Canada carried the comic during its run in the 1970s and 1980s.[1][2] Some episodes featured relatively obscure details about Prime Ministers such as R. B. Bennett and John Diefenbaker.[3]
