The young nation of Canada comes of age after the worst conflict in human history. In the years that follow the First World War, visits from movie star Rudolf Valentino and the future King Edward VIII grab the headlines, while former prime minister Sir Wilfried Laurier is laid to rest. Political shifts, an economic boom, female emancipation, air travel and risqué dances signal a new era.
