It's too bad you guys didn't finish this series. It was well done without much bias. Thank you for what you did anyway!
The British killed John Thompson!
A. Macdonald = Adolf Hitler....A thief and a bum...
Inventor of Tupperware
Emelie Barthe was Laurier's business partner Joseph Lavergne's wife. My great great grandfather Olivier Beauchesne worked for Laurier's law firm 'Laurier, Lavergne & Coté' when all this stuff went down in Arthabaskaville (Victoriaville), Quebec back in the 1880's.
Can we get any more of this splendid series starting with Arthur Meighen?
Sir Charles Tupper was my great great Grandfather

My 6th cousin Laurier.

We must continue to honour this man, no matter what 'cancel culture's may demand.
The impersonation of Sir Mackenzie sounds like a caricature from Monty Python!

Why did Retrospect stop their series with Sir Robert Borden? This is a great series!
Really like this series. But why did it end with Sir Robert Borden?
This series is so good!
Oldest and longest lived prime minister. Held the position at age 74 and died at age 94
Residential schools. Paying people to hunt first Nations people and kill them and provide proof of their Deaths. Forcing first Nations people onto reservations when the treaties clearly stated that the land was to be shared.
The Indians were killing the Europeans and scalping them as proof of their deaths too.
Found out a while ago that I was a descendant of Sir Abbott. So I appreciate that you made this video about him
We have a moral duty not to comply. No to discriminatory vaccine passports and mandates, it is an utter disgrace. This must not happen England. Will never vote Labour or Tory again. Disgraceful Canada.
cringe. keep crying
Our current prime minister is soooooo awful. Not sure how anyone could be worse to be honest.
why no mention of residential schools????
I think it might be because he wasn't technically the one who instigated the residential school,he did however advertise it simply because he wanted the indigenous people to be more canadian but he did not incentivise that was done by his successor Alexander Mackenzie.
Please come back and finish the series
Can you upload a nex video

Get out the accordion and accompany the following:
Sing: Oh, we kicked his arse and sent him west with his head tucked under his arm at a jaunty jaunty pace.
Was he a liberal or conservative?
Conservative.
Sounds like a real boring fuck.
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😊
My Great Great Grandfather as well. I’m from the Conrad lineage
Three years later but I really hope you return to finish this series, I've really enjoyed it.
More!
Prime Minister of Canada John A.MacDonald 1867-1873 and 1878-1891.
It wasn't a Norwegian ship that collided with a French ship but a Belgian ship.
He was the fourth shortest serving and the shortest serving prime minister who served more than a year.
John A. Maconald certainly did not order Riel to be executed! Macdonald refused to commute the death sentence, which is a very different big distinction.
Sir Charles Tupper was my Great, Great, Great, Great, Great grandpa's sisters husband so we are kinda related
So disappointed there are no more videos!!
I would love to see some more videos from you guys. These were so informative and helped me to get invested in the past leaders of my country. As to your question, I think it's wrong to get rid of Canada's wartime prime ministers, just as I think it's wrong to remove so much of John A Macdonald's imagery. We need to acknowledge these people who helped to make Canada the country it is, and all the good and bad that comes with them. Borden wasn't just our wartime PM, he was the PM who fought for Canada to be Britain's equal on the world stage, not its child. Without him, who knows if the Balfour Declaration of 1926 would have happened.
People seem too quick to anger when it comes to demanding Macdonald be erased from Canadian history. Yes, he did many horrendous things to first nations people, but without him we wouldn't have the Canada we know today. Americans are still willing to talk about Thomas Jefferson even though he was one of the largest slave owners of his time, so why can't we Canadians do the same with our first Prime Minister?
I agree. It's a challenge to evaluate an event or person from the past without doing it with our modern sensibilities. (I know that there are glaring exceptions ie. Nazism but I mean this in a general sense). What was, at least, tolerated then, is unacceptable now. How will we be judged in a hundred years time? What are we doing now that's acceptable but will be deemed unethical down the line? I'm pretty sure John A and many others of their generation found no fault in their motivations. So, yes, it is easy to criticize John A but how will we be seen?
I wished I had inherited those genes
I really enjoy this stuff because it help me for my social studies homework and class work
I really enjoy it like really

EXcellent video. The best I have seen so far perhaps/ although still not enough on his legacy with indigenous peoples/ although to the credit of the 10 minute video it is mentioned he tried to starve out the indigenous/ no mention of residential schools. If I was a teacher I would certainly give it a A or at least an A-, maybe an A+.
When was the first indigenous residential school set up? and was it the purpose to assimilate their culture?
There should be a statue of Sir. John A in every town and village across the country. A man of his times and thoughts he used whatever means possible to build this country. God Bless him. 4
I think his name should be taken off of buildings, schools, parks, colleges, universities, etc. He was also one of the people responsible for starting the Indian Residential School system.
Posthumously approves of our kicking Sir John A. mac's ass,pointing towards Kenney with his head tucked under his arm.
