In this episode, Natalie and Joel look into why Victoria, and not New Wesminster, is the capital of BC. New West started as the capital, and named virtually everything in the town after Queen Victoria. But she couldn't resist making the capital the town named after her. Also, to protect us from those dastardly Americans!
