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 />

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 />
