We dedicate much of this episode to the 100th anniversary of the debut of the Winnipeg Political Equality League's "A Women's Parliament" at the Walker Theatre on January 28, 1914. Sadly, no text of full play exists but Tessa will read the closing speech given by Nellie McClung, who played Premier Roblin. McClung's annotated version of her speech can be found here in her book Purple Springs. You can read how the event turned out here.

In obituaries, we'll talk about Sir Sam Steele. The U of A has done a wonderful job digitizing the Sir Sam Steele Collection.
Sir William Stephenson, the Man Called Intrepid, also died. You can read more about the spymaster at the Intrepid Society's website.
