HISTORY<br />

PIRATES PIRATES AND AND PRIVATEE<br />

PRIVATEERS<br />

PRIVATEE RS<br />

Pirates and Privateers and their role in the<br />

rough-and-tumble history of the Maritimes.<br />

Hundreds of years ago, the secluded<br />

coves and inlets of the Maritimes were the<br />

perfect hiding places for pirates avoiding<br />

detection by the King's Navy. This Land<br />

and Sea doc introduces the notorious<br />

pirates who plundered Atlantic Canada<br />

during the 1700s and recalls the<br />

blunderbuss, the cutlass, evil deeds and<br />

even rumours of buried treasure.<br />

Not many Canadians know what is meant<br />

by the word "privateer", even though<br />

privateering was a significant social and<br />

financial force in times of war — whether<br />

against the Spanish, the French, or the<br />

Americans during the War of 1812.<br />

PIRATES AND PRIVATEERS explains<br />

how the business of privateering worked,<br />

as practiced in one of Canada's most<br />

successful privateering centres: Liverpool,<br />

Nova Scotia.<br />

CANADIA N<br />

STORY STORY<br />

STORY<br />

For the first time, this documentary reveals<br />

the dramatic stories of the Canadians<br />

aboard this iconic ship ─ a railway<br />

magnate, a songstress, a chemist, a<br />

sculptor, a young Armenian fleeing<br />

persecution and many others.<br />

Among the more than 2,200 passengers<br />

and crew were 130 men, women and<br />

children bound for Canada. They came<br />

from all walks of life, some called Canada<br />

home, others chose this country as a<br />

place of opportunity or refuge. In two<br />

hours of dramatic and emotional<br />

story-telling, we reveal for the first time the<br />

stories of the Canadians aboard through<br />

letters, diaries and first-hand accounts<br />

from surviving family members. Their<br />

stories are about hope and heartbreak —<br />

about souls both lost and saved — the<br />

legacy of which still resonates today, from<br />

British Columbia to <strong>New</strong>foundland.<br />

IN IN HAITI: HAITI: SPECIAL<br />

SPECIAL<br />

Haiti has a <strong>com</strong>plex history, beginning with<br />

the brave revolution that booted out<br />

slavery to make the country the world's<br />

first black republic. That freedom came at<br />

a heavy cost, including a demand from<br />

France to be <strong>com</strong>pensated for the loss of<br />

slaves and plantations. This began Haiti's<br />

terrible cycle of debt — a burden that has<br />

been badly exacerbated by the 2010<br />

earthquake that rocked the tiny nation.<br />

This special broadcast features highlights<br />

from George Stroumboulopoulos' trip to<br />

Haiti two years after the earthquake.<br />

George talks with Hollywood film director<br />

Paul Haggis, whose NGO Artists for<br />

Peace and Justice is involved in building<br />

schools in the country. He also catches up<br />

with others engaged in restoring services,<br />

prosperity and hope to the beleaguered<br />

nation:<br />

� Stephanie Tremblay and Janne<br />

Suvanto from the World Food<br />

Programme<br />

� Patrick Elie, a former politician and an<br />

activist in Haiti<br />

� Father Rick Frechette, director of<br />

NPH Haiti<br />
