Craig Baird: Canadian History Ehx

Fellow Canadian history buffs, rejoice: Craig Baird has a cool
podcast and radio show.


Actually, that call to action may not resonate with very many of
you, but that's exactly why Craig Baird started his podcast.
Canadian History Ehx is a show dedicated to proving that Canadian
history isn't nearly as boring as everyone thinks. Sure, it may
not be as long and storied as European or Asian history. Sure, it
doesn't have the plethora of bloody battles that American history
provides. But you're doing your country and yourself a disservice
if you think that means there aren't tons of great stories in the
Canadian history books.


Unfortunately though, as Craig and I discuss, you may have to do
a bit of digging to find them on your own. Which is what makes
Craig's podcast so great: he does the digging for you. All you
have to do is listen.


Craig talks to me about the most interesting parts of Canadian
history, including tales of little-known Indigenous battles and
would-be revolutionaries, from the country's inception to present
day. We also explore the failings of the Canadian education
system in terms of actually teaching our history, as evidenced by
Craig and I being taught completely different things about
figures like Louis Riel. Depending on which province you grew up
in, there's a lot of important details you might have missed, but
thankfully Craig is here to fill in the gaps.


A video of this episode is here.


I mentioned that you should take a Canadian Citizenship test
online to determine how little you know about Canadian History -
embarrass yourself here.
