Vulgar History - Canadian History (part 1)： Civil Rights Icon, Viola Desmond

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to A Vulgar History Canadian Heritage Minute. It's going to be longer than

00:00:17.180 a minute, so buckle in. My name is Anne Foster and I am recording this from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,

00:00:24.580 which is in Treaty 6 territory in the country of Canada. And I have some things that I need to

00:00:32.340 get off my chest. But first, I want to explain the concept of a Canadian Heritage Minute.

00:00:37.720 So starting in 1991 in Canada, every TV show, basically any TV show watched by any Canadian,

00:00:46.660 always had in at least one of the commercial breaks, these 60 second Canadian Heritage Minutes,

00:00:50.780 which is sort of quickly kind of give you like a little short story about something that happened

00:00:54.940 in Canadian history. These were Heritage Minutes. And I mean, there's so many of them. There's

00:00:59.840 hundreds at this point. They're still making them. You know, like it's the sort of thing

00:01:02.940 like in high school or college, it can be a drinking game. Like who can remember them the

00:01:06.120 most? Like people still quote them to each other now. These are produced, were and are produced

00:01:10.540 by an organization called Historic Canada or Historica Canada, which is a charitable organization

00:01:17.020 that offers programs in both official languages, English and French. We have two official languages

00:01:22.700 here to explore, learn, reflect on our history and consider what it means to be Canadian.

00:01:27.420 And I have been moved to create my own Vulgar History Canadian Heritage Minute, which again,

00:01:33.420 going to be more than a minute. I'm sure it's already been more than a minute because what the

00:01:38.940 fuck is going on so i don't okay hi to my american listeners i don't know what news you're allowed to 0.99

00:01:48.480 hear under your current regime so you may or may not know that canada the country is fucking 0.99

00:01:58.160 furious right now we are furious there's a saying that we have been saying here and i don't know if 0.93

00:02:05.760 you've heard it said, if you've encountered it. When I first heard it, I didn't know

00:02:09.700 the full context. So I'll explain it to you so we all know together. People here are saying

00:02:15.080 elbows up. And there's merch that's saying that. People are graffitiing it on things. The vibe,

00:02:23.500 it's really just like the whole country is united behind this slogan, elbows up. And so

00:02:29.900 So Canada, to be clear, is a colonial country with its own fucked up history of genocide, slavery, white supremacy. 1.00

00:02:41.720 We've got our own shit going on, but I've never in my whole life seen the whole country come together like this. 1.00

00:02:48.420 Like we know, God knows we have problems here, but it's sort of like one of my friends was saying, 0.98

00:02:53.380 it's kind of like you know you can make fun of your sibling but if someone else makes fun of

00:02:59.560 your sibling you will elbow that person in the face and break their nose and that's what's

00:03:04.360 happening with our country it's like yeah it's a mess Canada but it's our mess and how dare you

00:03:10.680 come for us so the whole country the whole country is so united right now behind this slogan

00:03:18.880 including I just really want to give a special shout out to Quebec. Quebec is one of Canada's

00:03:25.580 provinces. It is a province with a lot of people in it who speak French and Quebec is um there

00:03:34.000 have been a few at least two occasions during my life where they have had votes to decide like

00:03:40.180 should we separate from the rest of Canada or not. They have a political party called the Bloc

00:03:45.280 quebecois who stands for a lot of interesting and often cool things but one of the things they stand 0.86

00:03:50.220 for is like getting quebec the fuck out of canada this is a province that just like has wanted to 0.85

00:03:55.600 leave canada my entire adult life quebec is on board with all this on international women's day 0.86

00:04:03.280 on march 8th i saw footage there was like uh i think it was in quebec city there was you know

00:04:09.280 just a rally for like international women's day and at that rally people wearing red they were

00:04:13.320 red for Canada. Usually in Quebec, people wear blue and white for Quebec, but they were standing

00:04:18.400 up for Canada. And one of the things they did is they had, I believe it was eight minutes of silence

00:04:22.940 in honor of the women in America whose rights are being removed. Like, yes, Quebec, but also Quebec

00:04:30.600 is on board. Bro, like not only have you like awakened the sleeping dragon that is Canada, but

00:04:36.560 like all of Canada, including, including Quebec. Like we, we can skate, bro. Like everyone here

00:04:45.820 plays hockey, like, and you're coming for us. Like this is where elbows up comes from. So I'm

00:04:52.580 talking to you from Saskatchewan and there is a very famous person, Canadian famous from here

00:04:58.060 called Gordie Howe, who is known as Mr. Hockey. He is now known as Mr. Hockey. Before then he was

00:05:05.100 known as Mr. Elbows. And so he's known as Mr. Elbows because although he's like a sweet, kind,

00:05:11.360 like gentlemanly person off the ice, when you came for him on the ice, bro, like he would wield his

00:05:17.700 elbows like weapons. Here's a quote from him. And I want to point out, this was always defensive.

00:05:23.500 It's like, if you come for him, elbows up. He's never, he's not just coming out with elbows up.

00:05:28.260 It's like, if you come for him. So Gordie Howe, Mr. Elbows slash Mr. Hockey said, quote,

00:05:33.480 if a guy slashed me i'd grab his stick pull him up alongside me and elbow him in the head

00:05:38.440 and this is it this is it like picture it someone's coming for you they come for you you raise 0.97

00:05:45.300 your elbow and then your arm and then you hit them in the nose with your elbow is i believe how you

00:05:51.120 complete that action so canada saying elbows up we're not just being like oh let's roll up our 0.99

00:05:56.000 shirt sleeves and get to work we're saying fuck you we're gonna break your nose with our elbows 0.99

00:06:01.480 why are we saying this so a few weeks ago the premier of manitoba manitoba is another 1.00

00:06:08.900 king province the premier there is wab canoe an indigenous man he he said canada can't be

00:06:18.580 a punching bag and we have to get our elbows up he said that and then a few weeks later

00:06:23.640 recently like last week on snl mike myers beloved canadian icon wayne's world canadian

00:06:31.280 characters he's wearing a t-shirt that says can is not for sale and then he mimes lifting up his 0.96

00:06:35.880 elbow and like mouths elbows up so the whole country is just like fuck yes elbows up it's 0.92

00:06:42.360 a rallying cry it's on graffiti it's on merch hashtag elbows up like the whole country is 0.99

00:06:48.460 united in a way I've never seen not during the Olympics like Quebec bro like Quebec is in on it

00:06:55.680 like everybody is here it's like I went grocery shopping yesterday and a whole one of the things 0.98

00:07:02.880 happening in Canada is we're all just being like fuck other countries specifically the one just to 0.93

00:07:07.740 the south of us just that one really so Canada's just being like we're just gonna shop when we go 0.96

00:07:12.680 shopping we're just gonna buy our own stuff we're just gonna buy Canadian made products and every

00:07:16.620 store has put little Canadian flags on the shelf underneath the product so we can tell when we're

00:07:22.020 shopping which products are Canadian or not like we're finding ways to work together um provinces

00:07:28.100 for ages have had just sort of like impediments to like shipping something from one province to

00:07:33.020 another and the premiers are being like let's look at that let's try to make it easier to ship

00:07:36.380 things throughout Canada like let's just be kind of self-sufficient and like if you're just thinking

00:07:41.680 about like in terms of like products in terms of industry like oh well like what are the what are

00:07:46.820 the things that canada sends to other places like for instance the u.s oh i don't know oil um gas

00:07:53.300 electricity um potash which is important for farming apparently paper wood pulp to make your

00:08:01.660 toilet paper like these are the things that could and perhaps already have become really expensive

00:08:07.380 and or unavailable in the u.s you know what we get from the u.s like orange juice kentucky whiskey

00:08:14.200 I don't know, like peanut butter. Like, we're fine. Like we're good with our own stuff we have

00:08:22.380 here. I don't know, man. I feel like by the time this podcast, this episode comes out,

00:08:26.640 which we're like rushing into production because I'm so mad. I feel like the whole country,

00:08:31.480 we're just going to let go Bugs Bunny, just like get out a saw and just like cut ourselves off the

00:08:36.400 North American continent, maybe grab Mexico and just like float over to Europe, join the EU is

00:08:42.360 where things seem to be headed. So I do a podcast about history. Not a lot of the episodes have been

00:08:48.580 about Canadian history, and that's on me. And that's also on the white supremacist history of

00:08:54.520 the Western world, where there is a lot more written about white women in England than there

00:09:01.100 have been about other women in most other places in the world. But anyway, the Canadian history

00:09:05.760 that I know about, a lot of it, honestly, I found in Heritage Minutes. And I'm going to tell you a

00:09:11.300 story right now that is in a Canadian Heritage Minute. And I'm doing this as a special mini

00:09:16.320 episode, separate from the other episodes, just because I'm really worked up about this.

00:09:21.140 The OG Vulgar History listeners, people who are listening in 2019, 2020, maybe you'll recall when

00:09:26.720 COVID started like five years ago this week, basically when the world shut down. I did some

00:09:32.200 little mini episodes then as well, just about kind of like pandemics and history and stuff.

00:09:36.140 So this is kind of maybe a similar thing. I feel like I'm probably going to do some more of these

00:09:40.920 Canadian history minutes. And that's the thing. That's the thing. Part of why I haven't done a

00:09:45.320 lot of Canadian women on Vocal History, the podcast, is because I like to do an hour-long

00:09:48.920 podcast. And to find a person where I can talk about them, where there's enough facts known to

00:09:53.680 make it an hour-long, Canadian history is more concise or something. But this is a story that

00:10:01.060 I really want to tell you, that I've wanted to tell you for a while, and it is with the one and

00:10:04.480 only Viola Desmond. So she is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, which I live in Saskatchewan now.

00:10:10.640 I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I grew up there. It's on the East coast of Canada.

00:10:16.000 And so Viola Desmond was a Black woman. She was born July 6th, 1914. And I do want to clarify,

00:10:23.140 just for people who might not know, that there has always been, in the context of since the 1700s

00:10:28.980 when Halifax was invented as a city, a strong, vibrant Black community on the East coast of

00:10:33.820 Canada, especially in Nova Scotia. A lot of that came from people who escaped slavery in the

00:10:39.580 Caribbean, the Maroons. Also some people who, after the British lost the American Revolution,

00:10:46.380 some of those people fled, like free Black people, up to Nova Scotia as well. So there was,

00:10:52.400 and there still is, and there has been for a really long time, a really strong Black cultural

00:10:56.660 community in Nova Scotia. And that's where Viola was born into. So there's a lot of Black people

00:11:01.560 there. And she's this glamorous, beautiful person. And she recognized there was a lack 0.51

00:11:07.900 of professional hair services for Black women, not just in Halifax, but in the entire province.

00:11:13.100 So she was born 1914. So I'm going to imagine probably around the 1930s is when she's like an

00:11:19.000 adult person. And she's like this glamorous lady. She's beautiful. She's stylish. She's so chic. 0.98

00:11:23.560 Look at pictures of her. She's gorgeous. Amazing hair, amazing outfits. And she was just like,

00:11:29.040 there's not places for like this thriving Black community, like the women, where can we get our 1.00

00:11:33.100 hair done? And so she's not just a glamour lady, like she's an entrepreneur. She sees how she can 1.00

00:11:38.120 give back, but also how she can make a name for herself. And so she decided to train herself as

00:11:43.000 a beautician, which she could not do in Nova Scotia because Black women weren't allowed to 1.00

00:11:47.300 attend beauty school. There wasn't like Jim Crow segregation, but there was a lot of racism and 1.00

00:11:55.600 prejudice going on there. So she went to Montreal to train in Quebec. She also went to the U.S.

00:12:00.240 to train in Atlantic City and in New York City. She's getting cross-trained. She's learning all

00:12:03.500 the skills. So she came back to Nova Scotia. She came back to Halifax because she wanted to give

00:12:08.940 back. She knew that this is a place where people needed this. They needed black hair care. And so

00:12:13.840 she not only opened a salon, but she also opened a training school so she could train other people 0.97

00:12:18.460 to become beauticians to help black women with their hair, which is just admirable and wonderful 1.00

00:12:24.560 and lovely. She's the Fenty beauty of her time. She also started her own line of beauty products, 0.97

00:12:31.120 like hair products, like makeup. A lot of them, the packaging was like purple. Purple is her

00:12:36.460 favorite color. So I love that she started a business. It's a business for Black women. I

00:12:42.760 love that she's giving back, like Pat McGrath of her time, just innovating and finding ways to

00:12:47.400 kind of like make a name for herself, like keep herself going, have this career and also be giving

00:12:53.020 back to the next generation of Black people. And because it's the 1940s, so she's going,

00:12:58.600 and she's in Nova Scotia, she's going town to town being like, hey, you know, these are my

00:13:01.760 products, you want to sell them in your store, et cetera. So she would just kind of go place to

00:13:06.400 place. And in 1945, November 8th, 1945, and you know, nothing's good when a specific date comes

00:13:12.660 out. It's like, why do you know that name? Something terrible is going to happen. And it

00:13:16.160 does. So she went to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and while there, wouldn't you know, her car broke

00:13:21.900 down. So while her car was being fixed, she was like, oh, movie theater nearby. Great. So she

00:13:26.620 went to the nearby Roseland Film Theater to see a movie. You know, she had some time to spend.

00:13:31.720 And again, there's no segregation laws. Like there's no Jim Crow. We're in Canada. Like it's 0.99

00:13:39.540 a country with a rich history of anti-Black racism, but there's no specific law.

00:13:47.000 informally there is kind of like cultural practices there was no signs in the movie

00:13:53.680 theater i feel like this is a town where maybe there's not a lot of black people at this time

00:13:57.800 perhaps you know what could be wrong i could be wrong but she certainly wasn't from that town and

00:14:02.600 she was just like there's floor seats in the movie theater and then sort of like a balcony and she's

00:14:07.340 like well i want the floor seats those are better seats so she takes a floor seat there's no signs 0.59

00:14:11.460 anywhere saying like black people can't sit here she does um and then it turns out that the like

00:14:17.300 policy of this place was they only sold floor seats to white people so a employee came up to

00:14:24.640 her and was like you know you can't sit here you need to move and she's like there's no sign saying

00:14:29.560 i can't sit here like bro i'm gonna sit here this is where there's some comparisons to i have seen

00:14:36.160 it said when people you know when you're trying to compare a historical person but in context you

00:14:42.940 compare them to another historical person it's like the Rosa Parks of Canada quote unquote and

00:14:48.180 it's like yeah she is a black woman who sat somewhere and then was told to move there's that

00:14:53.540 comparison Rosa Parks was part of a larger civil rights movement and Viola Desmond was just a lady

00:14:59.720 who wanted to watch a movie. So similarities, yes. But this is, Viola Desmond was very much on her

00:15:06.160 own in this. So anyway, she was just like, I'm not going to move. Like, she's like, I will pay

00:15:13.060 the extra penny to sit here because it costs like one penny extra to sit on the floor versus the

00:15:17.440 balcony. Anyway, they took her, they like forcefully removed her from the theater, which 0.98

00:15:22.640 sounds like extremely forcefully, like to the point that she injured her hip in the process. 0.91

00:15:27.940 so they're grabbing her very forcefully and then she's sent to fucking jail for 12 hours what is 0.92

00:15:34.300 the charge tax evasion because floor seats were one more cent in tax and she hadn't paid that one 0.99

00:15:40.820 cent because this is all bullshit so anyway tax evasion she's taking the court the next day she 0.84

00:15:47.580 has no legal representation because she's in new glasgow and she doesn't know anybody and this 0.99

00:15:50.980 whole it's like a fake charge and everyone's just being heinous to her like she's just being set up

00:15:56.320 being gaslit by these people. She's ordered to pay $26 in fines, which is like in olden times,

00:16:03.020 I'm sure more than what $26 would buy now, but it's like the principle of it too. She was just 0.59

00:16:08.080 like, this is some bullshit. There wasn't, what the fuck is happening? She hired a lawyer. She 1.00

00:16:13.280 filed a lawsuit against the theater. The lawsuit was dismissed because of racism and I'm going to

00:16:19.340 skip over. But basically, in quick order, she was like, fuck this. She closed her Nova Scotia 0.99

00:16:26.360 business. She closed the beauty salon. She closed the school, her beauty products. And she's just 0.93

00:16:30.260 like, got the fuck out of there. She's like, I'm moving to Montreal, Quebec, Au Revoir. Later, 0.98

00:16:35.740 she moved to New York City, which is where she lived until she died age 50 in 1965. So that was

00:16:43.460 the end of her life, but not the end of her story. So if you go in Halifax on Goddagen Street,

00:16:49.220 which is like North Goddagen Street, which is one of the historically Black neighborhoods in

00:16:55.800 Halifax, there's a beautiful, and this is actually brought to my attention by a member of the Tits

00:16:59.680 Out Brigade who lives near there, like near this mural. It's sort of like a mural slash display

00:17:05.880 where they've painted slash decoupage wallpapered up. So it looks like her salon and there's a lot

00:17:12.700 purple everywhere because purple is her favorite color. That was the color of her products.

00:17:16.520 And so, you know, there's like chairs with like the hairdryer on it and kind of signs

00:17:19.480 advertising her products around. And it's like this beautiful tribute to her on the street

00:17:22.820 where she was so important. And so how do I know her story? Not because I was told it growing up

00:17:29.160 in Halifax, for I was not because racism, but she is the subject of a literal Canadian heritage

00:17:36.820 minute as well, but also her family and the black community of Nova Scotia kept her story alive.

00:17:42.700 demanding that she be given respect as a Canadian hero for standing up for herself

00:17:47.680 and also for everything she achieved as this entrepreneur, businesswoman. And so her family,

00:17:55.680 the Black community, advocated for her for decades, which has resulted in her being honored

00:18:00.820 in many ways. For instance, a few years ago, a stamp was issued with her portrait. There's a

00:18:07.560 fairy, like Halifax. There's a harbor there and there's various across the harbor. One of them

00:18:13.700 is called the Viola Desmond. And since 2018, her portrait has been on the $10 bill in Canada.

00:18:22.860 And so let's see, so much stuff. She's been named a National Historic Person. She has a star in

00:18:29.380 Canada's Walk of Fame. In 2010, the Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor May Ann Francis, a black

00:18:35.440 woman, granted Viola Desmond a posthumous pardon for her crime of tax evasion, which was the first

00:18:42.100 ever posthumous pardon granted in Canada. And Viola Desmond Day is celebrated annually on November

00:18:48.680 8th to celebrate this amazing woman who's on the $10 bill. Like just to emphasize, just to emphasize

00:18:57.160 Again, Canada. So much fucked up stuff going on right now has gone on here. And also we have 0.99

00:19:04.860 Viola Desmond, this black woman, this entrepreneur who has done so dirty on our $10 bill. This 1.00

00:19:13.520 month, or actually last month, every year in Canada in February for Black History Month,

00:19:17.680 there's a stamp released with a notable woman from Canadian Black History. This year's was

00:19:22.820 marie joseph angelique who we've talked about on vulgar history podcast the enslaved black women 0.70

00:19:28.100 who burned down montreal like this country honors badass women and i really appreciate that not 0.99

00:19:37.480 every country does like don't come for canada like what are you doing like we will fuck you up 0.98

00:20:12.900 thinking like, oh, this sucks, like, which I was just in Minneapolis meeting with several Americans, 0.98

00:20:20.020 many of whom expressed apologetic feelings about what is happening there right now.

00:20:27.940 And I know it's not hashtag not all Americans. But if you're like, feeling like some kind of way,

00:20:34.220 and you want to support Canada, you want to support Canadians, well, you're already doing

00:20:38.560 it by listening to this podcast, which is supporting a Canadian person who is me, because

00:20:44.140 this podcast is on the Realm Network, which is an American network. So technically, America is paying

00:20:52.120 me every time you listen to this podcast, because that's where I get my advertising revenue from.

00:20:59.000 As for us in Canada, like we're shopping local, bro. Like our elbows are up. People here are

00:21:08.460 like enlisting in the military like this wave of patriotism is just like truly never seen anything

00:21:15.340 like it we're not but like the elbows up of it all it's like yeah we're not a country you know

00:21:22.000 like america has got a really sort of like forward facing like on the offense if you're a sports team 0.98

00:21:30.240 i'm not good at sportsmen of course but like america is like fuck yeah patriotism and canada 0.96

00:21:35.660 like, yeah, I guess we're Canadian. But if you come for us, then like elbows up. Patriotism 0.98

00:21:40.980 is what's happening. You know, I have mixed emotions about being a Canadian a lot of the

00:21:47.220 time because of the history of this like colonial nation. Just like me as like a white person in

00:21:52.780 Canada, it's just kind of like this. It's I know this country is so shitty for so many people 0.98

00:21:59.720 like in the history, like the genocide, the racism, like it's all there. But this is like 0.86

00:22:05.480 a beautiful moment of all of us it's like what is it like the the the enemy of my enemy is my friend

00:22:12.560 like people from all walks of life like the pro canada vibes right now are like heartening and

00:22:21.080 wholesome and heartwarming and i don't sometimes i i don't know sometimes i feel sort of ashamed of

00:22:30.900 like that canada is where i don't know can i say that in a podcast but like not ashamed but just

00:22:38.480 kind of like oh this is this country that was founded on genocide and here i am a white person 0.56

00:22:42.580 living in it and and just kind of like that's that's a shitty thing that's a shitty thing 0.82

00:22:46.360 but people all people all people in canada from all different walks of life all different 0.99

00:22:53.580 cultural backgrounds like everyone is just like you've you're fucking with us like we will fuck 0.99

00:22:59.440 you up and I that's the kind of patriotism I can get behind so I don't know wherever you are you 1.00

00:23:06.380 know like if you've got Canadian maple syrup nearby like get some like pour it a shot glass 0.97

00:23:12.120 raise a toast to Canada this glorious and fucked up place like I don't know I feel like I'm feeling 0.62

00:23:18.620 all kinds of ways and I feel like I'm going to do more of these Canadian heritage minutes because 0.96

00:23:22.460 there's more stories that I would like to to tell you so you can further understand like

00:23:28.220 the interesting people who are the reason why this country is what it is today.

00:23:35.040 But yeah, I think a crucial difference between what's happening in America and what's happening

00:23:38.920 in Canada can be demonstrated by the fact that we have Violet Desmond on the $10 bill.

00:23:43.980 Years ago, I think in America, there was going to be Harriet Tubman on currency, but then

00:23:50.020 pretty sure that never happened, although there is the Anna Mae Wong commemorative quarter.

00:23:54.220 but canada has a lot to reckon with obviously in terms of treatment in the past and also

00:23:59.400 contemporaneously of our indigenous communities and you know i'm not going to say that

00:24:06.220 canada is like a perfect place or whatever but like people here there's good people here who

00:24:13.360 are doing the best they can seeing mike myers wearing that shirt on snl and hearing wab canoe

00:24:19.020 say elbows up. Like it's filled me with this rage-filled patriotism to an extent that I've

00:24:26.660 never really felt before. And so I just wanted to share this all with you. Thanks for listening.

00:24:33.500 Pants on, tits out. If you're in Canada, you know, elbows up. Keep buying local, 1.00

00:24:40.780 keep shopping local. We're all in this together. And au revoir for now.
