Canada: A People's History S01E09 · From Sea to Sea

Overview

The new Dominion faces the enormous challenge of extending its reach to the Pacific Ocean. But Canada blunders in taking over the West without the consent of its inhabitants, especially the Mètis and their charismatic leader Louis Riel. Their resistance lays the groundwork for Manitoba to join the country, but also sets the stage for decades of conflict over French-English rights. By 1873, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island have joined, and Canada is a dominion that extends from sea to sea to sea.
