The Capital didn't stay in Kingston long enough to build a parliament house, and they met in the Kingston General Hospital instead. KGH is affiliated with Queen's University now.... so not only is Queen's the only school engraved on the Stanley Cup, it's also the only one that had the seat of government in it Two honours that McGill will never have
1865 eh? Can anyone provide photographs of the construction as it was progressing? I’d love to see how man with only horse and buggies managed to create that enormous structure.
I just want to let you know that we have created another great online resource that is free and can be very useful if you are working on a project about Canada's history. If you go to online.geohistorymap.com/free . You will be able to load different themes about Canada's History. Each theme contains lots of information and videos and it's all free. I hope that you will enjoy it. Thank you for your comment.
This video is very Ontario/Quebec centric and completely ignores the more easterly French/British colonies of Acadia/Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. For example in the early 1630s the capital of New France was located in Acadia. The video should clarify it is looking at colonial Canada (Quebec and Ontario) not the nation of Canada. In that sense then the other colonies can be to some extent ignored.
Normally I don't respond to people with a chip on their shoulder. But I will make an exception this time because I do think you have a point. But I would like you to make an animated video about what you have just expressed so well. Then I will publish it on my channel. But it better be a good one. Talk is cheap! Let see what you can create.
Hey @@MPOEducationalEnterprises - I should have opened my comment by saying you produced an excellent video. It is informative and fun. You are reading too much tone into my comment. I know on the internet there is a lot of negativity so it is hard sometimes not to hear negativity. That certainly was not meant in my case. I was offering it as constructive critical review. When you write articles, produce videos, etc. then you have to be open to constructive critical review. Keep up the great work.
@@EdinburghFive Maybe I did! But when you start with "of course it hard to read anything else" if make it hard to not. But I am glad that you like the video. But I did appreciate your point of view and was thinking about how we could create a video about the other colonies of Canada witch are often forgotten.
@@junkboxxxxxx As the video covers the period starting in 1648, the video is not just about "Canada's Parliament". The gist of the video appears to be 'trying' to speak about the parliament of the nation of Canada. As Canada did not exist as a sovereign nation before 1867, the references made about parliament buildings before that year are not the nation of Canada parliament buildings. The video makers are confusing the various parliament buildings of separate colonies of New France, and then Upper Canada, Lower Canada, the United Province of Canada with that of the later nation of Canada's parliament. These earlier seats of government did not have jurisdiction over the other British North American Colonies that existed in what is known as Canada today. Other matters: New France was more than "...what became the Province of Quebec...". New France covered a vast territory of what was all the French lands in North America, at times comprised of Acadia, the St Lawrence colonies and westward, and the Louisiana Territory. In 1762 the New France the British acquired was comprised primarily of the old St Lawrence Valley colonies, Pays-d'en-Haut, and the Louisiana Territory east of the Mississippi River.

It's the history of Canada's parliament, not Canada's parliaments. So of course there isn't anything about the dozen other province houses.
