Canada's Era of Rebellion
Canada’s Era of Rebellion: 1837 - 1885
Its always much easier to understand Canada’s behaviours’ now when we hear its real story of inception. As we go through the years before and after Confederation, clear patterns emerge that imitate a lot of what we are seeing today - here in Canada, and over in Palestine.
The episode includes stories of brutal suppression of resistance, land theft, executions of indigenous leaders. It explains why the retelling of history is so important to the powerful.
Content creator and history buff, Bothered Boy covers the early rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada, the Red River Resistance and the Northwest Rebellion. He tells a story of Canada's "creation" that is steeped in political violence and indigenous resistance.
