County Fairs plus Canadian Confederation

This week, Kate talks about Haliburton County Fairs, some that have been in existence since 1864. Originally with agricultural roots, many have adapted to remain relevant as society and communities change. And yet they are still reminiscent of a an earlier, gentler time. Plus, Paul has a brief overview of Canadian Confederation. Many have a nostalgic view of Confederation as being easily achieved through common interests, but in fact it was a tough step-by-step process that was never a foregone conclusion. And some of the issues still resonate today in, for example, Quebec and Alberta where some are urging separation from Canada.
