They should teach Canadian history like this in our schools. imo Canadian history is NOT boring and there are so many interesting stories to be told. Please keep these videos coming! :-D
Agree 100%. I am a Canadian Army veteran and have always been a student of our history. Don't let the old American movies fool you, Canadian history is also exciting, time we started really talking about it other than in negative terms
Really interesting! I visited the Meech Lake plant many times as it was a destination for bike rides from Ottawa. Walk a bit farther along the trail to the Wilson Carbide plant and you get to an unofficial nude beach.
Hope you get many more views to further your project! What an amazing way to tell Canadian history. You've got the perfect voice and storytelling style to do it.
Those ruins are truly a fantastic place. They should be preserved because they are the testimony of the perseverance of the human spirit. A great man and a great story. Keep up the good work, guys!
Stumbled across your channel and it's awesome! Amazing stories, excellent video quality and everything. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos! Do one on the Mad Trapper of Rat River or Stompin Tom!
Ok, so I had to double check, and Churchill Falls hydro-electric plant is currently 10th largest in the world. Still pretty incredible, but no longer the largest.
Thanks for the great video. I love learning about Canadian history. I am in Toronto and like seeing old pictures of downtown Toronto in the 1880s and having modern pictures next to them.
You make one major mistake on Meech Lake accord. Meech Lake was stopped by Clyde Wells who said no to his Liberal party overseers . Harper was a just a second one to say no he could not have stopped the accord.
A bit of constructive criticism for the narrator should he choose to take it on board; intonation is important in communication. Your message would be better delivered by emphasizing the key word or syllable of a sentence, signaling to the listener it's importance to the idea you are trying to convey. The more words or syllables are emphasized, the less effect the emphasis has. It also results in a cadence that is unnatural and a bit jarring. I mean no offence by by this. The subject matter is quite interesting. But the manner in which a story is told is nearly as important as the story itself. That is my bit of feedback, for what it's worth. I hope it's received in the spirit it was intended. Cheers.
Why are you dressed like you're wearing the clothes of someone 2 sizes smaller than you? Where is this other person and why can't you get your own clothes?

I'm an American and I agree, I enjoy learning about Canada. I thank all Canadians for their friendship. Peace.
They should show all these videos in schools!
These could be played in classrooms! :)

Yes, teachers use these in classrooms.
This should be a series on Tv
I love the spirit Canadians had back then.
Finally a more in depth look,thanks.

I'm from the U.S. and I enjoyed this history video.
Thanks
We LOVE this channel. What an amazing presenter you are!!
That place is so wonderful to visit. Anyone who can, should.
The videography, editing, graphic design and research that the team at Canadiana puts into their videos makes for awesome content. Thanks Canadiana!
You deserve much more views buddy, Canada is a country whose history is very less known around the world.
I love the storytelling here.
I really enjoyed this Adam, thank you
Excellent videos came across them accidently now binge watching the channel
Accidentally came across this. So glad i did!! I've visited these places but your video brings it back to life. Keep them coming!
This is by far one of the best channels on youtube! I am so excited to see what comes out next.
Thanks! It'll be difficult to predict what's next, every episode we've shot so far is very different!
You know there is basically porn on TH-cam too right?
Loved hearing this history!
Great video, thanks for all the effort.

Thanks for the kind words! We just hope we can keep the train rolling!
Wow. Great show.
I love these. Never learnt about Canadian history in high school, so grateful for these uploads!
Please keep them coming!
We're trying! Thanks!
Visited the plant before the pandemic- loved the view of the ocean, never knew it had such a famous founder. Great video :)
Randomly came across this...so glad I did. Excellent work! Cheers from Northern ontario! Subbed!
Greetings from Winnipeg
that was amazingly interesting. I'm discovering it too late but wow! I love your channel!
Wow, I've been to those ruins, and I've also visited the Churchill falls generating station in Labrador. I never imagined the two as being connected.
ikr, they should have named the station Willson Station.
Those ruins are truly a fantastic place. They should be preserved because they are the testimony of the perseverance of the human spirit. A great man and a great story. Keep up the good work, guys!
Love these shows wow
big fan of all your work. keep it up man
More of these, please. Especially ones that start with "The Mystery of ... (something Ottawa-related)".
Or just Canada related
Awesome! I love your videos!
Stumbled across your channel and it's awesome! Amazing stories, excellent video quality and everything. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos!
Do one on the Mad Trapper of Rat River or Stompin Tom!
Awesome! We are absolutely aiming to do one on the Mad Trapper as soon as physically possible-can't wait!
awesome story canadiana

Thank you, was looking for this comment
Lucas Leandro glad I could be of assistance. 👍
Just found your channel enjoyed this video,flicking through your thumbnails and titles I can see you have done some great stuff
Great lake ,the best bass fishing near Ottawa.
just discovered this channel (first vid I watched) and instant sub, great vid and great quality!
I love the videos. Great for my 10 year old inquisitive son. He wants to learn everything he can.
We're glad to hear! Thanks for watching to both of you!
Great work peoples! This is the 3rd video ive watched. Looking forward to more
More of these interesting videos aboot interesting and little-known episodes in Canoodian history, please!
Well worked piece, very enjoyable.
Thanks for watching!
These are fantastic. Love it!
I lived in Chelsea-Hull for years and spent a lot of time in the Gatineau Park and I dont know where those ruins are. Very cool. Thank you
I remember hearing about the Meech Lake Accord as a kid. Interesting video!
Thanks for the great video. I love learning about Canadian history. I am in Toronto and like seeing old pictures of downtown Toronto in the 1880s and having modern pictures next to them.
Excellent content and presentation! Canadian mad scientist, eh? Who’d have ever known about this very alternative history?
Great channel bud! Keep up the good work eh !
Nice video,kinda had that nostalgic feel to it.
Top video nuf said
Great videos!
Keep doing what you are doing
And I thought Meech Lake was just an Accord.
cool Honda makes a meech lake model?
Maybe the real mystery of Meech Lake is how Québec is still in Canada.
I just posted same 😂
Thank you for sharing this.
Damn...I gotta go check that lab myself.. it's maybe 20 or 30 minutes away
Keep up the great vids!
reminded of the great Bill Bryson :-)
Outstanding!! Thank you
As an historian, could you do a video about inventor Cyrille Duquet?
What happened to the fertilizer part?
I have visited those areas before and it feels good to know what happend there years ago
Where is the video about the legacy of RUSH?
@2:50 that looks like a pretty decent spot from which to revolutionize an industry....
You should sell your seasons on DVD's as merch.
Awesome story keep it up
I grew up in that area and know Meech lake well, we ski across it in winter. I knew nothing of this story, my history teachers should be ashamed.
I go swimming at meech lake all the time never knew
This is an awesome story. So many great inventors lost everything.. Look at Tesla.
Been there live right next to it.
5:19 -5:20.. he sort of looked like the actor, David Ogden Stiers!
Between 5:02 and 5:06, footage of Chicago was shown instead of New York.
Good eye! We checked and it was a wrongfully titled clip from Archive.org. We will make a note of it in the description.
I saw meech lake and right away thought of the meech lake accord.
Very interesting, thanks for this..... and yes my second name is MEECH.
amazing! so has quebec been following wilson s dream?
Why did he refused to grant unanimous whatever ? What happened ? Was it a good thing or detrimental thing ?
I’ve been there it’s a great running trail
You should be making school documentaries...
Ha I've been there. I remembered reading the info their and it didn't give this much detail.
Tuck yer shirt in there bud and I suggest you let that marinate ;)
I thought it was going to be about an accord and elijah harper 😂
Elijah Harper link broken
You make one major mistake on Meech Lake accord. Meech Lake was stopped by Clyde Wells who said no to his Liberal party overseers . Harper was a just a second one to say no he could not have stopped the accord.
Was the dam destroyed by a man or did it collapse on its own?
Why did I know this story would end bad......eh, they always do don't they.
Does he know his shirt is not tucked in? AND there are strange noises coming from his mouth...
A bit of constructive criticism for the narrator should he choose to take it on board; intonation is important in communication.

No longer the largest in the world, more like 16th.
Tuck your shirt in for christ sake.
You're absolutely right. He's a great presenter, but his dress sense is appalling.
So nothing about the Meech Lake Accord, pity..
The real mystery is who dressed you.
why is your jacket so small? you didn't nab it from a passing schoolboy did you?
Not much of a mystery.
This like only in japan
Overly enlarged colon. Duh.
Why are you dressed like you're wearing the clothes of someone 2 sizes smaller than you? Where is this other person and why can't you get your own clothes?
No way. That guy found that stuff already built there and took it over. There are ruins across the country from way before our history suggests.
I walked that same trail in grade 2... some 54 yrs ago
Cool 💞👍
