Big Bear

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/25

He was born the son of a chief, and he would rise up to become one of the leading Cree in the Canadian Prairies. The last to sign Treaty 6, and only when he had no choice, he knew that the Canadian government would not live up to its promises. He would protect civilians during the 1885 Rebellion, yet still be tried for treason. This is the life of Big Bear E-mail: Support: patreon.com/canadaehx Merch: www.canadaehx.com/shop Donate: canadaehx.com (Click Donate) E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com Twitter:

The Palliser Expedition

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/23

From 1857 to 1859, five men set out from the Red River area and began exploring and surveying the Canadian West. Their surveys would help lead the railway through in three decades time, and also change the western industry from fur trading to agriculture. They would spur on European settlement, which would also push the Indigenous off their lands. The Palliser Expedition changed the west, for good and bad.

An Interview With Baltej Dhillon

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/22

Back in 1989, Baltej Singh Dhillon made national news as a cadet with the RCMP in Regina. After passing all the entrance requirements, Dhillon faced the issue of a ban on turbans and beards with the RCMP, which were key components of his Sikh faith. After a CBC news story went national, he faced racism, protests but also support from many including the RCMP Commissioner. I had the pleasure of speaking with Baltej about his life and career.

The Beaver Wars

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/21

For nearly 100 years, through the entire 17th Century, the Iroquois Confederacy expanded on its territory through the use of European guns in an effort to control the beaver fur trade. It would be a war that would have several battles, many skirmishes and would have lasting repercussions through the 18th Century and beyond. Today, I am looking at The Beaver Wars.

When The Grey Cup Was Stolen

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/14

Next to the Stanley Cup, no trophy in Canada is more important than the Grey Cup. It is the symbol of football supremacy in our country, and the Grey Cup game is often the most watched few hours of television of the year in Canada. This story though isn’t about the history of the Grey Cup, but of the time it was stolen and held for ransom in 1969-70.

Today, a special episode of the podcast. At Christmas, my wife bought me the excellent book An Irish Heart by Sharon Doyle Driedger, which chronicles the community of Griffintown in Montreal.

The 1837-38 Canada Rebellions

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/11

The 1837 Lower Canada Rebellion and the 1838 Upper Canada Rebellion were significant events in our history, even if they are lost to history 200 years in the past. The impact of these rebellions, while they were short, would last well into today and form the Canada we know and love right now.

The Fire At Parliament Hill

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/09

On 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

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/03/07

For 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.

Harriet Brooks, the first female nuclear physicist in Canadian history, would go on to revolutionize nuclear science before choosing to end her career to focus on her family. During her physics career, she would help three physicists win Nobel Prizes, and would change nuclear science forever.

Francis Pegahmagabow

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/29

He was a highly-decorated Indigenous soldier who served the entire length of the First World War. He is credited with more sniper kills than any soldier of the war, and he added 300 German prisoners to that. After the war, he would go on to be a leader for Indigenous rights before his untimely death related to his exposure to poison gas during the war. Today, I look at Francis Pegahmagabow.

The Trials and Triumphs of Africville

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/26

There was a community that existed for 150 years right next to Halifax. The black village of Africville dealt with racism, indifference from Halifax and plenty of tragedies. It was also a community with a strong sense of belonging, where people helped each other and some thrived. This is the story of Africville, the community that existed until Halifax literally bulldozed it to dust.

Canada And Knighthoods

2020/02/24

Why is John A. Macdonald knighted for serving as PM for 18 years, but John Tupper, who served for 68 days, also knighted? Why don’t we see knighthoods for Canadians past the 1940s?

The Spanish Flu

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/22

In 1918, as the First World War began to come to an end, a new threat arrived on the shores of Canada. It was the Spanish Flu and by the time it burned through the country in 1919, it had killed 55,000 people in the country. 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. I look at how that flu impacted Canada, from regular citizens to the government itself. Support:

Way back in 1937, Bill Bill Aberhart, the premier of Alberta, attempted to deal with the press that he saw as unfair. He would implement an act that would limit the freedom of the press, force newspapers to print retractions and he even tried to jail a journalist.

The First Cross-Canada Drive

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/12

It was in 1912 when two men, who hated each other, took a 52 day trip across the country. Becoming the first to cross Canada by car was no easy task. They dealt with empty gas tanks, no roads, mud, swamps and steep cliffs. This is the story of their journey, the first of many Canadians would eventually take across the country.

Once, the bison in North America could circle the Earth 1.3 times, but within a few decades, they couldn’t circle a city block. This is the story of people killing without thought, governments using hunting as a means to put down a people and the end of an era for an entire species.

It was a decisive battle in the 1837 Lower Canada Rebellion, and it would result in a literal massacre at a church by the British. It was a battle that broke the Patriotes and their cause, would result in the loss of two of their leaders and spell the end of the rebellion itself.
