Pioneer Families plus Scots in Canada

This week, Kate riffs on Canadian Thanksgiving and segues into stories of 2 early pioneer families in Haliburton County. Plus Paul has a brief overview of Scotland's Highland Clearances in the early 1800's, the migration of Scots to Canada - in particular Reverend Norman McLeod and his congregation - and the lasting impact of Scots on Canadian culture that still exists today.
