35 min - This Is Canada: Gander on 9/11
On 9/11, the United States closed its airspace worried about further attacks. That closed airspace meant hundreds of planes and thousands of passengers had to find a new destination.
Among them were 38 planes and 6,000 passengers who landed in the small Newfoundland community of Gander.
Their story has become one of the happier stories from that dark day.

31 min - This Is Canada: The Whisky War
For almost 50 years, Canada and Denmark were at war over a tiny island in the Arctic. Hans Island was only one kilometre wide, with nothing on it, but it was an important spot along the border when it came to access to surrounding resources.
No bullets were ever fired, but a lot of shots of liquor were enjoyed.
