Amber Valley: Grit and Determination

Canadian History Ehx ·

2019/11/29

From 1909 to 1911, 1,000 African-Americans came from the American South to Alberta and Saskatchewan. Before racist attitudes closed the door on the immigration, those black settlers would found several communities in the prairie provinces. One of those communities was Amber Valley, which had a short history but an impactful one on Alberta and Canada.

A History Of Western Separation Movements

Canadian History Ehx ·

2019/10/30

Since Confederation, provinces have been trying to leave Canada. These days, western or Alberta separation seems to be the hot-button topic but not only is it nearly impossible to accomplish, its just a bad idea. In my latest episode of Canadian History Ehx, I look at the history of western separation movements, that have seen little in the way of success over the past 40 years. From the candidate who was against the metric system and multiculturalism, to the separatist party led by a defender of

The Empress of Ireland

When the Empress of Ireland sunk beneath the waves of the St. Lawrence River in 1914, the disaster killed nearly as many people as the Titanic. Not as well-known, but just as tragic, “Canada’s Titanic” shook lives and the country to its core. Today in Penny Sized History, I take a quick look at the ship, the disaster and the people it impacted.
