Episode 3 - Sir Guy Carleton and The Quebec Act

Who was the most important Irish person in Canadian history?  Or perhaps the most frustrating?  In today’s episode, Jane makes a case for Sir Guy Carleton as a serious contender for both titles.  Born to an Ulster Protestant military family, Carleton was perhaps an unlikely defender of Catholicism and French-Canadian civil rights, but his unyielding support for the Quebec Act of 1774 laid a blueprint for modern Canadian identity that still can be felt 250 years later.  And just wait until you hear about his love life!
