Great series!! Sir Charles Tupper is my Great Great Grandfather (yes, I am kind of old, LOL) and this is a lovely recap of his contributions to the development of Canada as we know it, now (a confederation of provinces, forming a strong and healthy dominion with a viable cross-country transportation system, and many more aspects of its history.) He certainly was a man of many talents and seemed to excel at them all. I find it interesting that his family background was steeped in Baptist ministers, while he, himself, was a well educated physician, and many of his direct descendants became (and produced) a series of lawyers (including my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father.) It's quite the family history to reflect upon. I, myself, while admiring the law and its offerings of exactness, have leant much more in the direction of medicine with its combination of both science (facts) and compassion (intuition.) My sense is this is the place Sir Charles gathered his sense of self and the strength that carried him so well into politics and the vision of growing of a Country.

I have traced him back to my family tree as well, I believe he's in my tree as a 8th great grandfather or uncle. I'll have to double check. But dad's side that's here in the states only has one P in our last names .. So it's spelled Tuper . Finding him in my tree is what brought me to this series😊

Glad you enjoyed it! New video should be up in a couple weeks

I think it's unfortunate that Tupper's whole legacy will be that he was a "random" in between Prime Minister

Another very interesting and entertaining video about one of our Prime Ministers. These videos are amazing!!

Lol glad to see a report about gramps.

Our current prime minister is soooooo awful. Not sure how anyone could be worse to be honest.
