Podcasts about family compact

For four decades, a small group of men controlled nearly everything in Upper Canada. This oligarchy stifled progress in the name of padding their own pockets. It was the era of The Family Compact.

It's Women's History Month! So, Kate brings a story about how women contributed to the betterment of the Haliburton County community in the early 1900's through the Women's Institute. Plus, Paul tells the tangled tale of John Colborne - Lieutenent General of Upper Canada in the 1830's, the Family Compact, festering frustration and grievances, and the rebellions that resulted in Upper and Lower Canada in 1836-37. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices.

This week, Kate delves into the pages of the Haliburton Echo from July 30, 1953 to bring us stories about the local efforts of the Rotary Club. Plus, Paul talks about the Constitution Act of 1791 - one of the steps in the long evolution of Canada from being a colony to an independent country. Under the Constitution Act Britain split the former colony of New France into Upper and Lower Canada. The good intentions of the Act ended up with the Family Compact and Clergy Land Reserves. These in turn built up tensions that led to separate rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837/38. The British response to the rebellions moved Canada one step closer to Confederation.

In season two we welcomed guests to join us for a trip down the rabbit hole as we researched topics like photography, sidewalks, and telephones. We’re taking this third season of the podcast down a bit of a different path. We’ll be diving a bit deeper into Canadian history by researching Prime Ministers, Maps and mapping, the Family Compact, the Fur Trade, the FLQ Crisis, and on today’s episode: the history of printing.

How do we reconcile free speech, internet monopolies and stopping far-right ideas from spreading? That's the question I try to answer with my guest Yasha Levine. Yasha is a journalist and author of Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet. Yasha explains the internet's conception and connection to government and the military, how it's shaping politics, and why he's concerned about internet monopolies' power to censor people - even someone like Alex Jones. Later this week subscribers receive additional analysis and reading based on each week's episode. This week I explore internet censorship and how internet companies have enabled far-right movements to grow. Become a member today to get access to this and other members-only content.
