A Question of Loyalties. Episode 5
At the beginning of the American Revolution (1775), American rebels invade Canada but les Canadiens refuse to take up arms against British rule, and the invasion ultimately fails. The mass migration of 40,000 Loyalists that follows creates an English-speaking Canada virtually overnight. When the next American invaders arrive in 1812, they are fought to a stand-still at the battles of Queenston Heights, Chateauguay and Lundy's Lane. The cast of characters includes the military commanders General Isaac Brock and Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry; Hannah Ingraham and her Loyalist family; Benedict Arnold, the traitor to the American Revolution; Indian leader, Tecumseh; Pierre Bedard, tactician of an emerging colonial democracy; and Canadian traitors who are publicly executed.

Battle for a Continent. Episode 4
A period of a little more than two decades in the mid-18th century changes the destiny of North America. England and France battle each other in the Seven Years' War, a conflict that begins as a clash between les Canadiens and land-hungry American settlers in the Ohio Valley and becomes a war that engulfs the continent. Fortress Louisbourg, symbol of the French empire, is the target in the greatest naval invasion in North America's history. In 1759, General James Wolfe leads the assault against Quebec. Later, Wolfe forces the commander of the French troops, Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, into one last desperate encounter on the Plains of Abraham. When war ends in 1763, 70,000 French colonists come under British rule, setting in motion the ever-evolving French-English dynamic in Canada.

Claiming the Wilderness. Episode 3
A small French settlement in New France builds a flourishing society and stakes a claim to a massive continent between 1660 and 1750. New France's populace includes shop keepers, artisans, farmers and landlords, as well as fur-trading expansionists like Governor Frontenac and his commercial partner, Robert Cavelier de La Salle. But this fast-paced growth brings New France into ever more bitter conflict with the wealthier and more numerous British colonists to the south. The story culminates with the heartrending deportation of more than 10,000 French Catholic Acadians as the struggle to possess North America enters its final phase.

From Sea to Sea. Episode 9
Confederation is barely accomplished when the new dominion must face an enormous challenge: extending its reach into the vast prairies and beyond, to the Pacific Ocean. Canada blunders catastrophically in seeking to take over the west without the consent of its inhabitants, especially the Métis of Red River and their leader, Louis Riel. The resistance of 1869-70 lays the groundwork for Manitoba to join Canada, but it also sets the stage for decades of conflict over the rights of French/English, Catholic/Protestant in the new territories. Thanks to an audacious promise of a transcontinental railway in 10 years, the settlers of British Columbia are more easily convinced of the merits of union; by 1873 Prince Edward Island has joined as well and Canada can boast a dominion that extends from sea to sea.

Rebellion and Reform. Episode 7
By 1830, the struggle for democratic government in the colonies of British North America has reached a fever pitch. As the colonies grow in wealth and population, a generation of charismatic reformers - Joseph Howe in Nova Scotia, Louis-Joseph Papineau in Lower Canada and William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada - confront the appointed governors and their local favourites with one demand: let the citizens' elected representatives run their own affairs. In the Canadas, the struggle leads to bloody rebellion and disastrous defeat for the rebels. Yet within 10 years, the prize of self-government is won, thanks in part to an unexpected alliance between the French and English-speaking forces of reform.

The Great Enterprise. Episode 8
In a few short years, a handful of small and separate British colonies are transformed into a new nation that controls half the North American continent. The story of Confederation, its supporters and its bitter foes, is told against a backdrop of U.S. Civil War and Britain's growing determination to be rid of its expensive, ungrateful colonies. The dawn of the photographic era provides a vivid portrait of the diverse people who make up the new Dominion of Canada: the railway magnates, the unwed mothers of Montreal, the nuns who provide refuge for the destitute, the prosperous merchants of Halifax, the brave fugitives of the Underground Railroad and the tide of Irish immigrants who flood into the cities.

The Pathfinders. Episode 6
The Canadian West is opened by the great fur-trading empires (Hudson's Bay and Northwest Companies), the Indigenous people who were their indispensable allies, and bold explorers and mapmakers: Pierre Esprit Radisson takes New France's trade far into the continent's interior creating an English trading empire; Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, spends a lifetime searching for the Western Sea; Dene Chief Matonabbee leads Samuel Hearne on a monumental trek into the Barren Lands; Alexander Mackenzie's journey to the Pacific makes him famous; and David Thompson comes to the shores of Hudson Bay to unlock the secrets of the West more than any other man. As the fur trader's day comes to an end, settlers on the prairies and gold miners in British Columbia begin to claim the west for themselves.

When the World Began. Episode 1
This episode looks back more than 15,000 years at the history of the first occupants of the territory that would become Canada. From the rich resources of native oral history and archaeology come the stories of the first people - how dozens of distinct societies took shape, and how they encountered a strange new people, the Europeans. Among the earliest of these encounters is the 1534 meeting between Jacques Cartier and Donnacona, the Iroquoian chief. Later on the Pacific coast, Nootka chief Maquinna encounters John Jewitt, the English sailor.
