Posted by tijeff 4/13/2010 7:46 PM | remove   Was it ? Posted by maZe 4/14/2010 2:15 AM | remove   Heck, it was the Capital of Canada... Posted by Samurai 4/15/2010 11:14 PM | remove   as an American, and a nearby neighbor of Montreal, I am always mystified as to why Toronto, Montreal or Quebec City were never the capitol of Canada... I mean, Ottawa? Posted by Blawkowski 4/16/2010 9:23 PM | remove   Capitals of the Province of Canada: Kingston 1841–1843 Montreal 1843–1849 Toronto 1849–1852 Quebec City 1852–1856 Toronto 1856–1858 Quebec City 1859–1866 Ottawa 1866–1867 :-) Posted by nostra-YOUPPI! 4/17/2010 2:38 AM | remove   yeah montreal had it until we decided to torch parliament... Posted by Blawkowski 4/18/2010 3:56 PM | remove   Thank The Gazette for that... Posted by Samurai 4/24/2010 5:51 AM | remove   well, i am sure there had to be a GOOD reason to torch parliament... right? Posted by maZe 4/24/2010 11:05 PM | remove   The only reason why Ottawa became the capital is because after the Parliament burning down in Montreal, the leaders were looking for a neutral place so that no one would be pissed off by the choice. Ottawa, which back then was pretty much a field full of cows sounded good so Ottawa it was. Posted by Charlie_Dunver 6/3/2010 2:49 AM | remove   I don't know American history, Sam, but my ballpark estimate would be that Philadelphia "should" have been the American capitol. I will also "guess" that Washington as a location was something of a compromise too. LOL If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register.
