The Fire At Parliament Hill
March 09, 2020 14:47 - 15 minutesOn Feb. 3, 1916, a fire erupted during a session of the House of Commons. Within a few hours, the building was engulfed and the tower had collapsed. Seven people would lose their lives and the repairs to the building would take over a decade. This is the story of a cigar left sitting on papers, the scapegoat blame that was passed around and the efforts of those inside and outside the building to save what they could.

The KKK Thrives In 1920s Saskatchewan
March 07, 2020 16:22 - 23 minutesFor a brief few years, the KKK was found throughout Canada, with limited success to its efforts except in Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan, the Klu Klux Klan found a population hungry for their brand of racism and anti-immigration and anti-Catholic rhetoric. Hosting rallies where thousands attended, influencing elections and even committing arson, the Klan’s time in Saskatchewan was brief but memorable and would have a lasting impact.

The Trials and Triumphs of Africville
February 26, 2020 22:17 - 41 minutesThere was a community that existed for 150 years right next to Halifax.

The Spanish Flu
February 22, 2020 12:00 - 22 minutesIn 1918, as the First World War began to come to an end, a new threat arrived on the shores of Canada.

From homesteads left empty by entire families losing the battle to the flu, to the cancellation of the Stanley Cup, it was a terrible time for the country.
