S2 Episode 22 A Common Enemy

The Fenians are back at it this week - threatening to raid New Brunswick and then (for real) attacking along the Niagara frontier. Arthur Gordon of New Brunswick steps up and makes things happen, obliterating the niceties of responsible government along the way. And the two maritime colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia agree that perhaps there ought to be - wait for it! - yet another conference to talk about this whole Confederation business.
