Filmed at the Massey Estate. If viewers think it's all about "all men are bad", the episode is only being true to history. At that time, women in Canada had no legal status; everything they owned became their husband's property when they married; they could not vote; had no legal recourse from being bettered by their husband; and if he so chose, he could (and often did) shut her up in an asylum for life if he didn't approve of her actions (such as marching for women's right to vote or for access to contraception). As other episodes have focused on our past, this one is no less valuable in its historical accuracy. You can't have an episode where half the characters are female without references to this, even tangentially.

I love the show but I am getting really tired of all men are all evil and bad, I realize it takes place at a time when I am sure there was a lot of abuse and massive gender inequality. I'm just tired of it being shoved in face.
