Listen "Nova Hollandia: When Canada Was A Dutch Colony"
Episode Synopsis
The Maritimes were briefly the Dutch colony of Nova Hollandia..
We’re always taught in school that ever since European colonists arrived in what is now Canada, that it was always a colony of either England or France. However, it’s a little-known fact that for a brief time the Maritimes were conquered by the Dutch, and were a short lived colony with a remarkably bizarre history, named Nova Hollandia.
