4. How Beaver Hats Shaped Canada

In this episode, we begin Canada’s history with a simple timeline: Indigenous peoples before the arrival of Europeans, the Vikings in Newfoundland, John Cabot, Jacques Cartier and the origin of the name Canada, Samuel de Champlain and New France, the fur trade, the Hudson’s Bay Company, the rivalry between France and Great Britain, the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, the Quebec Act, the arrival of the Loyalists, and the War of 1812. The goal is to understand the main events without getting lost among so many dates and names.
