In these Canadian History Minutes, history nut Ron James takes us on a tour of the real history of Canada, detailing fantastical tales about our nation's past and the people who made it great. In this webisode, Ron talks about the lesser-known rush that followed the famous Klondike Gold Rush -- the Gentrification Rush -- in which artists and young families flocked to the Yukon for cheap housing prices and affordable rent.
