In the summer of 1958, ten communities along the St. Lawrence River were systematically erased. The Lost Villages — including Aultsville, Mille Roches, and Moulinette — were flooded to create the St. Lawrence Seaway, a massive hydroelectric and shipping project between Canada and the United States. This episode explores the human cost of megaprojects. Lucas tells the story of how 6,500 people were relocated, their homes moved or burned, cemeteries exhumed, and whole towns submerged under Lake St. Lawrence. We look at the political negotiations between Ontario and New York, the role of Premier Leslie Frost, the engineering marvel of the Moses-Saunders Power Dam, and the emotional upheaval of families watching their ancestral land vanish. We also touch on the long-term environmental impact, including changes to fish migration and water levels. Luna asks probing questions about compensation, who resisted, and what remains today. It's a story about progress, memory, and the quiet price of becoming a modern nation. #LostVillages #StLawrenceSeaway #LeslieFrost #MosesSaundersDam #Aultsville #MilleRoches #Moulinette #Hydroelectricity #NorthAmerica #Canada #Ontario #1950s #Megaprojects #History #FexingoHistory #Displacement #Engineering #LakeStLawrence Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
