FACT CHECK: Were the Geneva Conventions Made Because of Canada? Tod Maffin 2026-09-15 | You've probably seen the claim online: Canadian soldiers were so brutal in World War One and World War Two that the world had to rewrite the rules of war just to contain us. It's a great story. It's also completely false.In this video, I break down where this myth actually comes from, what really happened with Canadian troops in the trenches of the First World War, and why the real history of the Geneva Conventions has nothing to do with Canada at all.I also get into the real, complicated history: Canada's fearsome reputation in WWI, what historians like Tim Cook actually say about our wartime conduct, and the 1993 Somalia Affair, a case where Canadian soldiers did commit war crimes and were held accountable for it.It's time we replace the fake war story with real ones, because we don't need myths to be proud of this country.Topics covered:The Geneva Conventions myth explainedCanadian military history, WWI and WWIIThe 1929 and 1949 Geneva Convention updatesThe Canadian Airborne Regiment and the Somalia AffairWhy war crime myths spread onlineIf you're into Canadian history, Canadian identity, or just want the real story behind a myth everyone's repeating right now, subscribe for more.#Canada #CanadianHistory #GenevaConvention #CanadianMilitary #WWI #WWII #CanadianIdentity #MythBusting #TradeWar #CanadaVsUSA---π Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/joinπ° NEWSLETTER newsletter.todmaffin.comβ MY LINKTREE: links.todmaffin.comβ Like my stuff? β Buy me a coffee support.todmaffin.comπ¦ Follow me on Bluesky β https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.comπ Contact my team β contact.todmaffin.com

Why is Newfoundland a Half-Hour Off Everyone Else? Tod Maffin 2026-09-11 | Why does Newfoundland run on its own time zone, a half hour off the rest of Canada? The answer is more fascinating that you think.Before standard time existed, Canadian towns set their clocks by the sun. St. John's fired a cannon at solar noon. By the early 1900s, Newfoundland somehow had four official times running at once.A Canadian railway engineer fixed this almost everywhere else in 1879 with his 24 time zone system, the one the world still uses. Except St. John's, which sits almost exactly between two zones, split the difference and created its own 30 minute offset, Newfoundland Standard Time, to keep its clocks lined up with the actual sun.Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 by a razor thin referendum margin. The province tried to switch to Atlantic time in 1951 and again in 1963. Both times, Newfoundlanders said no. That half hour time zone survives today, along with a strange coastal pocket of Labrador that runs on Newfoundland time out of cultural habit, not geography.This is Canadology, a series unpacking the small, weird facts of Canadian history and identity. #Newfoundland #CanadianHistory #TimeZones #Canadology #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #CanadianCulture--π Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/joinπ° NEWSLETTER newsletter.todmaffin.comβ MY LINKTREE: links.todmaffin.comβ Like my stuff? β Buy me a coffee support.todmaffin.comπ¦ Follow me on Bluesky β https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.comπ Contact my team β contact.todmaffin.com

Bullies fold when nobody flinches. Tod Maffin 2026-09-08 | In 1866, an American congressman tried to buy Canada for $10 million. Here's why it failed, and why it matters right now.Most Canadians have never heard of Nathaniel Banks. In 1866, this Massachusetts congressman introduced House Resolution 754, a bill that would have turned most of British North America into American states and territories. It came four months after the US cancelled a 12 year trade deal with the colonies, betting that cutting off trade would force Canada to come asking for annexation.It didn't work. The colonies did the opposite: they traded more with each other and formed their own country a year later.This video traces that history and connects it to the tariffs, trade threats, and 51st state talk happening today. Same playbook, different century. We look at what Canadians did in 1866 that made the annexation bill collapse, and what buying Canadian looks like now: Ontario cheddar, Okanagan wine, Alberta beef, Quebec cider, coastal lumber, and small businesses hit hardest by the tariffs.---π Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/joinπ° NEWSLETTER newsletter.todmaffin.comβ MY LINKTREE: links.todmaffin.comβ Like my stuff? β Buy me a coffee support.todmaffin.comπ¦ Follow me on Bluesky β https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.comπ Contact my team β contact.todmaffin.com

Canada vs. USA: The Trade War America Always Loses (History Proves It) Tod Maffin 2026-08-22 | Trade talks between Canada and the United States just collapsed again. But here's what nobody in Washington seems to remember: America has tried this exact playbook before, and it has never once worked.From Smoot-Hawley in 1930, to Nixon's 1971 import surcharge, to five separate softwood lumber disputes since the 1980s, the pattern is always the same: the US imposes tariffs, Canada retaliates, and the US backs down after its own economy takes the bigger hit.In this video, I break down the real history of US-Canada trade wars, what actually happened the last five times America tried to bully Canada with tariffs, and why this round is likely to end the same way.What you'll learn:Why the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act backfired so badly on the USHow Canada beat Nixon's 1971 tariffs in under four monthsThe decades-long softwood lumber dispute and what international trade bodies ruledWhy Canada holds more leverage over US energy than most people realizeWhat's actually different (and not different) about the current Canada-US trade warIf you're trying to understand the Canada tariffs situation, the US-Canada trade war news, or just want the historical context nobody's giving you, this one's for you.π¨π¦ Follow along for more no-nonsense Canadian commentary on politics, trade, and identity.#CanadaUSTradeWar #Tariffs #CanadaNews #USCanadaRelations #TradeWar #CanadianPolitics #SoftwoodLumber #TrumpTariffs #CanadaEconomy #TradeWarHistory--π Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/joinπ° NEWSLETTER newsletter.todmaffin.comβ MY LINKTREE: links.todmaffin.comβ Like my stuff? β Buy me a coffee support.todmaffin.comπ¦ Follow me on Bluesky β https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.comπ Contact my team β contact.todmaffin.com

When You Need a Place to Land Tod Maffin 2026-08-20 | On September 11, 2001, US airspace shut down and 38 planes were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, a small Canadian town. For four days, Gander and the surrounding communities of Glenwood, Benton, Gambo, Grand Falls-Windsor, and Lewisporte took in nearly 7,000 stranded passengers. This is the real story behind Come From Away, told from Gander itself, 25 years later.This isn't just a 9/11 story. It's a Canadian history story about what small towns do when the world needs somewhere to land, from Operation Yellow Ribbon in Newfoundland to Black Loyalists welcomed in Nova Scotia, Chilean refugees in Toronto, Doukhobors in Saskatchewan, Kosovar refugees in Fredericton, and today, American healthcare workers relocating to Canadian communities.Filmed on location in Gander, Newfoundland.Trip sponsored by Gander Social, the Canadian social network built for real people and real connections.

Why Canadas Airports Start with Y Tod Maffin 2026-08-13 | Almost every Canadian airport code starts with the letter Y. YVR. YYZ. YUL. Nobody agrees on why.In this video, I dig into the real history behind Canada's airport codes, from their railway telegraph origins in the 1920s to the three-letter switch in the late 1930s, and the popular "Y is for Yes" theory that even Wikipedia can't back up.You'll learn why Canada tacked the Y onto the front of our codes instead of adding a letter to the end like the Americans did, why some Canadian airports actually start with Z or W, and how a Rush guitarist turned an air traffic broadcast into a Grammy-nominated instrumental.Turns out our whole airport naming system might just be a temporary fix nobody got around to changing. Which feels about right.--π Get exclusive weekly Behind the Scenes videos and more by joining this channel! youtube.com/todmaffinvideo/joinπ° NEWSLETTER newsletter.todmaffin.comβ MY LINKTREE: links.todmaffin.comβ Like my stuff? β Buy me a coffee support.todmaffin.comπ¦ Follow me on Bluesky β https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.comπ Contact my team β contact.todmaffin.com
