Penetanguishene Treaty (No. 5)

The Penetanguishene Treaty of 1798 (also known as Treaty 5 in the Upper Canada treaties numbering system) was an early land agreement between First Nations and British authorities in Upper Canada (later Ontario). It was one of a series of Upper Canada Land Surrenders. The Penetanguishene Treaty encompasses land on Georgian Bay at the northern tip of the peninsula at present-day Penetanguishene, as well as an island in Penetanguishene harbour. The British wanted to establish a naval presence on Lake Huron before the Americans could and the purchase of land at Penetanguishene would allow this. The British also realized that they might have to evacuate their post at Michilimackinac some day and wanted an alternative location.

Pennefather Treaties

In the summer of 1859, Superintendent General of the Indian Department Richard T. Pennefather signed three separate but essentially identical treaties with Batchewana First Nation (Treaty 91 [A]), Garden River First Nation (Treaty 91 [B]) and Thessalon First Nation (Treaty 91 [C]). The three treaties were part of a series of land surrenders that occurred after the 1850 Robinson Treaties. The Pennefather treaties opened additional acres for settlement and resource exploitation.

People’s Party of Canada

The People’s Party of Canada (PPC) is a far-right political party. It was founded in September 2018 by Maxime Bernier a month after he left the Conservative Party. It was officially recognized by Elections Canada in January 2019. The party opposes government intervention in society, culture and the economy. It is critical of multiculturalism and government policies to fight climate change. Bernier represented Beauce, Quebec, and was the PPC’s only Member of Parliament (MP). However, he lost his seat in the 2019 election, when the party received only 1.6 per cent of the national vote. The PPC rebounded in 2021, when it leapt to 4.9 per cent by siphoning votes from the Conservatives. But the PPC’s vote share plummeted to less than one per cent in the 2025 election.

Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a perennial plant, cultivated as an annual and belonging to the nightshade family.

Percy Schmeiser

Percy Schmeiser, farmer, business owner, Saskatchewan MLA 1967–71, politician (born 5 January 1931 in Bruno, SK; died 13 October 2020). Farmer Percy Schmeiser was mayor of Bruno, Saskatchewan, from 1963 to 1982 and MLA for the riding of Watrous from 1967 to 1971. He is best known as the defendant in Schmeiser v. Monsanto, which was argued all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Monsanto, an American agrochemicals corporation, accused Schmeiser of illegally using their patented genetically modified seeds. Schmeiser claimed they had simply blown onto his farm. He became a folk hero for his stand against a large agricultural corporation and against the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture. An advocate for environmental justice, farmers’ rights, and the right to save seeds, he received the Mahatma Gandhi Award and the Canadian Health Food Association Hall of Fame Award.
