This week, Kate has some historical stories from the local newspaper. Plus, Paul continues the arc of Canadian Confederation. This week it's Alberta and Saskatchewan, the 8th and 9th provinces, that were created in 1905. The situation with these provinces was a little difference - they were already part of Canada as a "Territory" after Canada acquired Rupert's Land from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1870. However, they now wanted full Provincial status and the higher level of self-government that it implied.

This week, Kate goes back to when Canada Day was to the late 1800's-early 1900's when it was known as Dominion Day, and the celebrations that took place in Minden and elsewhere in Haliburton County. Plus, as part of the mini-series on the sometimes troubled path of Canadian Confederation, Paul has the story of British Columbia. And how things could have gone quite differently.
