The Province of Canada

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/03

Today, we know all the provinces but there was a time where only one province existed...the Province of Canada. During its existence it would see open corruption among the Governor General, riots, the burning of parliament buildings and an effort to literally get rid of the French through assimilation.

Leduc No. 1

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/02/01

Prior to 1947, Canada produced 1/10th of the oil that it used domestically. Alberta was a have-not province, and Imperial Oil decided to drill one more well after 133 dry wells. They chose a site near Leduc, Alberta. The discovery they made there would change Alberta, and Canada forever.

The Grain Elevators

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/27

They once numbered over 5,000 and dotted the landscape of the Canadian Prairies. Today, less than 500 remain and fewer survive each year. The grain elevator is a symbol of Canada and its growth through the 20th century. Today, I look at the rise and the fall of this icon of the Canadian landscape.

The Origins Of Tim Hortons

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/19

It is a coffee shop that is part of Canadiana. Love them or hate them, there is no denying the impact Tim Hortons has had on Canada. In today’s episode, I look at not the company that it is now, but the origins of the company, when it was just a dream of an NHL hockey player named Tim Horton.

Kit Coleman

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/13

Kit Coleman was the first female war correspondent in the world, the first syndicated Canadian columnist and one of the most popular journalists of the 1890s and 1900s. Despite all that, she dealt with prejudice against her sex and a constant push to write about “women’s topics”. Today, she is remembered as a pioneering journalist that made the road for countless female journalists today.

Canada Goes Metric

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/10

In 1970, Canada made the decision to ditch Imperial measurements and go metric. If you think the carbon tax was a hot button issue, then the metric system was that multiplied by 1000. From Conservative MPs opening a gas station that sold by the gallon, to regular people suing the government, it was not an easy transition. This is the story of that change that had lasting impacts on Canada. Support: patreon.com/canadaehx Merch: www.canadaehx.com/shop Donate: canadaehx.com (Click Donate) E-mail:

The Republic of Canada

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/06

While Canada is a constitutional monarchy today with a parliament, there was a brief Republic of Canada for a few months in 1837 and 1838. Its story is one of rebellion, open war with the British and some very poor planning. Oh, and there is also a bank and president and more!

The Fraser Canyon War

Canadian History Ehx ·

2020/01/01

We don’t think of Canada as a place where a lot of wars have been fought, but this isn’t the case. Canada has seen several wars, including the Fraser Canyon War. For a few months in 1858, during the Fraser River Gold Rush, their were militant companies, decapitated bodies and a worry of American annexation. Today, I dive into that insane world of the gold rush. Support: patreon.com/canadaehx Merch: www.canadaehx.com/shop Donate: canadaehx.com (Click Donate) E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com Twitter:

It started off as a plan to get 300 NWMP officers to the Canadian west to bring law and order. It became a legendary ordeal for those officers and recruits thanks to plagues of grasshoppers, dying horses, near starvation and much, much more. This is the story of the March West of 1874, a near disaster that threatened to end the NWMP before it began.

The Battle of the St. Lawrence

Canadian History Ehx ·

2019/12/04

For two years, U-boats patrolled the inland Canadian waterway of the St. Lawrence River. During that time, they would sink multiple ships, take the lives of dozens of Canadian sailors and put a country on edge as the war reached the home front. Today, I look at the Battle of the St. Lawrence, a time when Canada had to defend its waters against a silent killer. It is a story of success and failures, spies and the tragic killing of civilians.
