  • The Last Spike

    The Last Spike
    2021/10/07
    On Nov 7, 1885 at 9:22 a.m., the official last spike was hammered in at a spot in the Eagle Pass by Sir Donald Smith. With that, the 14 year odyssey of the construction of the transcontinental railway had come to an end. What is the story behind that famous photo though? What happened before, and what happened after?

  • The Lives Of Workers

    The Lives Of Workers
    2021/10/03
    From extreme loneliness, to the ever present danger of injury or death, the lives of workers was not an easy one. Alcohol was always around, medical care was barebones at best and living conditions were filthy and cramped.  It was not an easy life but for many, it was the means towards a better life.

  • Building Through The Prairies

    Building Through The Prairies
    2021/09/23
    Today on Coast to Coast, I am looking at the Canadian Pacific Railway's building through the Prairies, from Winnipeg to Calgary, a distance of 1,300 km. While the Canadian Prairies section was the same length as the British Columbian and Canadian Shield sections combined, building was quick and efficient through the flat landscape, taking just over a year.

  • The Grand Railway Hotels

    The Grand Railway Hotels
    2021/09/17
    Today on Coast to Coast, I am taking a jump forward to look at the grand railway hotels built, primarily, by the Canadian Pacific Railway.  While there are many grand railway hotels across Canada, today I am only covering seven of them, from British Columbia to Quebec City. They have served as places to stay for presidents, prime ministers and Royalty and even played a role in creating the NHL itself.

  • Building In British Columbia

    Building In British Columbia
    2021/09/09
    In the Prairies, it was possible to build hundreds of kilometres of the railroad in one year. In British Columbia, that same length of track would take over five years. From avalanches, the need to build bridges over gorges and blasting through granite mountains, the construction of the CPR through British Columbia was no small matter, nor a quick process.

  • The Chinese Workers

    The Chinese Workers
    2021/09/02
    Chinese immigrants were hired in mass numbers, with some estimates saying as high as 17,000, to build the hardest parts of the railroad through British Columbia. Of those hired, its estimated 25% would die. Their role in completing the railway was immense, but they were ignored and pushed to the side of history for a century. Today, I look at the Chinese workers of the CPR.

  • Best Of: The Great Canadian Flag Debate

    Best Of: The Great Canadian Flag Debate
    2021/08/26
    I have been awarded a grant from the government to spend August travelling around Alberta visiting rural historical sites. I will be making podcast episodes and YouTube videos about the sites.  As a result, with being on the road all month, I can't make new episodes of the show. So, instead I am going to release best of episodes of Canadian History Ehx.  New episodes will be back at the end of August!
