This week, Kate brings 3 separate quirky stories about modes of transportation in early Haliburton County - therefore, planes;trains; and automobiles. Plus Paul has the story of the 1789 Nootka Sound Crisis that determined that Canada's west coast became British territory and eventually Canada could stretch from coast-to-coast. Otherwise British Columbia could have been Spanish or even Russian territory. It also involves a cast of famous names like Vasco Balboa, Captain James Cook and George Vancouver.
