Jean Talon (1626-94) First Intendant of New France appointed by King Louis XIV Jean-Baptiste Colbert

HISTORY OF NORTH AMERICA - First Intendant of New France, Jean Talon (1626-94) was a French colonial administrator appointed by King Louis XIV and his minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, to serve as the Intendant of Justice, Public Order and Finances in Canada, Acadia and Newfoundland for two terms: 1665-68 and 1670-72. Talon attempted to change the economic base of the burgeoning colony from fur trading to agriculture, but found this could not be accomplished without a larger population. To this end, Talon arranged for settlers to come to New France, including over 800 women known as the King's Daughters. He also tried to diversify the economy by involving the private sector, introducing new crops such as flax and hops for making beer, by starting a shipyard and lumber industry, and by encouraging mining. He started the first commercial brewery in Canada, La Brasserie du Roy, in Quebec City in 1668. EPISODE 336 - Jean Talon.
