Why is this project called Stick Around Soundwaves? I kind of explain it.

Outcome: In exchange for Métis land rights, the Canadian government issued certificates under the system of scrip (1870).

What would you buy with $1.5 million?

Lucky 13! My 13th episode of Stick Around Soundwaves. This personal project of mine is proving to be a lot of fun.

Outcome: Métis leader Louis Riel formed a provisional government during the conflict at Red River in 1869 which occurred to protect Métis rights, culture, and land, including Rupert’s Land.

I love history – it’s one big story. The important thing, though, is you have to pay attention to it and keep track.

Who loves to celebrate? Fireworks, food… always nice to have a party.

This one is about British North America fearing its southern neighbour. Always looking for feedback, so feel free to send me an email.

Outcome: As negotiations for Confederation began, British North America included Rupert’s Land, the North-Western Territory, the colonies of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick (the Maritimes), and Newfoundland; the Province of Canada (British Upper Canada and Lower Canada, which became Canada West and Canada East); and British Columbia

This one is about British North American before Canadian Confederation. There’s a bit of static in this one and a few future episodes that I’m trying to find a solution for. Hopefully it’s not too much of a deterrent.

Outcome: As negotiations for Confederation began, British North America included Rupert’s Land, the North-Western Territory, the colonies of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick (the Maritimes), and Newfoundland; the Province of Canada (British Upper Canada and Lower Canada, which became Canada West and Canada East); and British Columbia
