E69. Quebec City Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

First known European penetration of the interior of the continent through the St. Lawrence River gateway took place in 1535, when Jacques Cartier returned as leader of a new expedition. Pressing upstream in three small vessels, he reached the Amerindian village of Stadacona, near the present site of the city of Quebec, Canada. At Stadacona, Cartier and his followers passed a bitter winter with the help of chief Donnacona. Many of his party died from cold and scurvy before he could set sail for France the following spring.

337. Sulpicians Aug 09, 2024

Show notes

The Society of Priests of Saint-Sulpice, better known as the Sulpicians, is a society and congregation of Catholic men, named after the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris dedicated to Sulpitius the Pious— a 7th-century French bishop and saint. The Sulpicians played a major role in the founding of the city of Montreal, where they engaged in missionary activities, trained priests and constructed the Saint-Sulpice Seminary, the second oldest structure in the city, constructed during the 1680s and still located in Old Montreal.

336. Jean Talon Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

First Intendant of New France, Jean Talon (1626-94) was a French colonial administrator appointed by King Louis XIV and his minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, to serve as the Intendant of Justice, Public Order and Finances in Canada, Acadia and Newfoundland for two terms: 1665-68 and 1670-72. Talon attempted to change the economic base of the burgeoning colony from fur trading to agriculture, but found this could not be accomplished without a larger population. To this end, Talon arranged for settlers to come to New France, including over 800 women known as the King's Daughters. He also tried to diversify the economy by involving the private sector, introducing new crops such as flax and hops for making beer, by starting a shipyard and lumber industry, and by encouraging mining. He started the first commercial brewery in Canada, La Brasserie du Roy, in Quebec City in 1668.
