The year 1873 saw the admission of Prince Edward Island into Confederation, the signing of Treaty 3 and one of the worst scandals in Canadian history, the Pacific Scandal.

It was also the year of the Cypress Hills Massacre and the creation of the North West Mounted Police.

The year 1872 was a quiet one by most accounts but still an important year in the history of Canada. It was the year that work on Treaty 3 had begun, and an ad was put out for a new police force to serve in the North West Territory. It was also the start of a Liberal dynasty in Ontario, and the federal election would be held with a scandal from it looming on the horizon to burst forth the following year.
