Lina Roessler reprises the role of Agent Baker, which originated in the web series "Murdoch Mysteries: Beyond Time"
The Nationalistes referred to in the story are members of the Ligue Nationaliste Canadienne, a party formed in Quebec in 1903 by publisher Henri Bourassa ( Christian Martel ) and journalist Olivar Asselin to oppose imperialism (and dependence on either Britain or the USA) and to support pan-Canadian nationalism among the French-speaking population.
The Imperial Club mentioned at about 32:39 is fictitious, but the Empire Club of Canada, founded by those seeking to maintain strong political and economic ties with the British Empire, was founded in 1903.
Although Agent Baker states that pan-Canadian nationalist Armand Lavergne ( Marcello Di Fruscia ) is the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier, this is speculation by some and not accepted as historical fact.
In 1908, Ligue Nationaliste co-fonder Henri Bourassa ( Christian Martel ) won two seats in the Quebecois legislature, and he chose to sit for Saint-Hyacinthe rather than Montreal Division #2.
