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.
