champagne in Charlottetown - PEI and the Road to Confederation by Canadian Time Machine
In this episode, we travel back with the Canadian Time Machine podcast to look at the moment Prince Edward Island entered Confederation.
Historian Dr. Edward MacDonald takes us back to the Charlottetown Conference, where it’s said that discussions about the Dominion of Canada flowed over several glasses of champagne. He’ll also help us understand why PEI joined the country six years after it was formed. This episode also features reflections on reconciliation from Julie Pellissier-Lush, an actress, knowledge keeper, storyteller, and the first Mi’kmaq Poet Laureate for PEI.
