Genres Drama, Historical
Actors Shawn Doyle, Peter Outerbridge, David La Haye, Aidan Devine, Patrick McKenna, Michelle Nolden
Ce drame raconte la haine viscérale entre deux hommes, leur passion pour le service public et leur rivalité, qui ont façonné le Canada. Entre 1856 et 1864, deux hommes de convictions s'affrontent pour décider de l'avenir du Canada. Ce drame de deux heures met en lumière la lutte acharnée opposant John A. Macdonald, le charismatique chef du Parti conservateur, et George Brown, fondateur du journal torontois Globe et chef de l'organisation politique qui deviendra le Parti libéral, connu pour sa détermination à toute épreuve. Ils poursuivent avec passion des visions radicalement opposées et nourrissent l'un pour l'autre une haine profonde. Lorsque Macdonald prend le contrôle du Parti conservateur et en fait la force dominante de l'assemblée, il élabore un plan d'action tellement brillant et audacieux qu'il mène à la création de la Confédération, et donc du Canada tel que nous le connaissons.

"Remember the Lusitania! Avenge the Lusitania!" These are the words that inspired many young US citizens to volunteer for service during the First World War. The sinking of this great British oceangoing liner provoked outrage around the world on an unprecedented scale. On May 7, 1915, a German torpedo sent the ship to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean in just 18 minutes—its speedy descent into the depths occurring far too fast for most of those aboard to make it to the lifeboats. Of the 1,962 passengers and crew on board, 1,200 were lost, including 94 children and, crucially, 128 US civilians, many of whom were prominent figures. President Woodrow Wilson's neutral stance started to crack. All over the country there were calls for the United States to take up arms against Germany. In many ways, the Lusitania tragedy was the major turning point of the Great War, and perhaps the single greatest factor that eventually brought the USA into the war in April 1917.
