Eastern Arctic Patrol

In the 1920s, the Canadian government attempted to assert its sovereignty in the High Eastern Arctic by establishing Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) posts. Eastern Arctic Patrols were annual summer expeditions by ship to set up and resupply these detachments. From 1922 to 1968, the patrol transported police, geologists, scientists, medical professionals and government officials north, bringing supplies and medical services to Eastern Arctic communities. The last patrol ship, CD Howe, was also used to relocate people from northern Quebec (Nunavik) to remote High Arctic locations for sovereignty purposes. (See Inuit High Arctic Relocations in Canada.)

Eastern Boxelder Bug

The Eastern boxelder bug (Boisea trivittata) is a species of true bug (Hemiptera) in the family Rhopalidae. Native to Eastern North America, these insects are associated with the Manitoba maple tree (Acer negundo), also known as the box elder tree, from which they derive their common name. Although they pose no threat to humans or pets, Eastern boxelder bugs can become a nuisance when they gather in large numbers, mainly when they congregate indoors as they seek shelter for the winter. The Eastern boxelder bug is very similar to the Western boxelder bug (Boisea rubrolineata), which is found west of the Rocky Mountains in Canada.

Eastern Foxsnake

The Eastern foxsnake (Pantherophis vulpinus) is a large, non-venomous snake native to the Great Lakes region of North America. Their Canadian range is limited to Southern Ontario in two distinct populations: the Georgian Bay population and the Carolinian population in extreme southwestern Ontario.

(See also Snake Species in Canada.)

Eastern Hog-Nosed Snake

The Eastern hog-nosed snake (Heterodon platirhinos) is a medium-sized snake with an upturned scale on the end of its snout. The scale gives the snake a pig- or hog-like appearance. In Canada, Eastern hog-nosed snakes are found in Southern Ontario south of the Canadian Shield. They are also found in the Eastern United States as far south as Florida and Texas. The Eastern hog-nosed snake is well-known for its elaborate defensive display: first, the snake flattens its neck into a cobra-like hood, and if that does not deter predators, it flips onto its back and plays dead. (See also Snake Species in Canada.)

Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnake

The Eastern massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) is a relatively small rattlesnake that is native to the Great Lakes region of eastern North America. It is one of three rattlesnake species found in Canada (a fourth is extirpated). Its Canadian distribution is restricted to several small, disjunct areas in southern Ontario. The massasauga has disappeared from much of its historical range. Populations continue to decline due to ongoing threats, including habitat loss, deaths on roads and intentional persecution from humans.

Eastern Newt

The eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is a colourful salamander native to eastern North America. It has a large geographic range that extends from eastern Canada south throughout most of the eastern United States, making it the second-most widespread salamander species in North America. Four subspecies are recognized across its range, two of which are found in Canada: the red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens; PEI, NS, NB, QC, ON) and the central newt (Notophthalmus viridescens louisianensis; ON).

Eastern Red-Backed Salamander

The Eastern red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) is a small woodland salamander that is native to Eastern North America. In Canada, this species is found from Prince Edward Island to Northwestern Ontario. A similar species, the Western red-backed salamander, is found in southwestern British Columbia. Eastern red-backed salamanders are abundant in most forests within their range. However, they often go unseen because they spend most of their time underground, under the leaf litter or objects such as logs, stumps and rocks.

Easton Treaty

The Easton Treaty (or Treaty of Easton) is an agreement between British and Indigenous peoples, established at the forks of the Delaware River in Easton, Pennsylvania in 1758. The treaty was signed after a conference between British colonial officials and more than 500 chiefs, representing 15 Woodland Indigenous peoples in October 1758. Through the Easton Treaty and several others, the British successfully neutralized the French-Indigenous alliance in the Ohio Valley during the Seven Years’ War (1756–63) by guaranteeing the protection of Indigenous lands from Anglo-American colonists. (See also Treaties with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)
