The Life and Times of Amor De Cosmos

RE-UPLOAD
Sorry folks, I realized two days after I originally uploaded this video that there were a number of issues with my key visuals and they were bothering me. I always try and do what I can to put out my best work, but I am a one person team that sometimes misses things. This will probably kill the video, but I would rather put out something that nobody sees that is of decent quality, than put out something that I am not proud of that EVERYONE sees. Thanks for your understanding!

Have you heard the name: Amor De Cosmos? The misanthropic second Premier of British Columbia, the founder of the Times Colonist (formerly known as the British Colonist), and "Father of Confederation"? Well, I thought he seemed interesting, so I made a video about him. I hope you like it!

Canadian history is notoriously inaccessible, and I hope that this video is approachable and easy to digest for people who want to learn more.
