Episode 3 - Sir Guy Carleton and The Quebec Act
Manage episode 408054531 series 3399927
Who was the most important Irish person in Canadian history? Or perhaps the most frustrating? In today’s episode, Jane makes a case for Sir Guy Carleton as a serious contender for both titles. Born to an Ulster Protestant military family, Carleton was perhaps an unlikely defender of Catholicism and French-Canadian civil rights, but his unyielding support for the Quebec Act of 1774 laid a blueprint for modern Canadian identity that still can be felt 250 years later. And just wait until you hear about his love life!
