    MICROBREW: The Whisky War for Hans Island

    In this episode, we dive into the delightfully strange and surprisingly heartwarming tale of the Whisky War, a 50‑year territorial dispute between Canada and Denmark over the tiny, uninhabited Hans Island. What began in the 1970s as an unresolved boundary question slowly evolved into a tongue‑in‑cheek ritual: each country’s military would visit the island, remove the other’s flag, raise their own, and leave behind a bottle of national liquor—Canadian whiskey or Danish schnapps—as a cheeky calling card. The MICROBREW blends history, humor, and geopolitics—showing how a barren rock in the Arctic became a symbol of cooperation, cultural pride, and the kind of international conflict everyone wishes there were more of!  Sources: https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/can-nato-withstand-the-trump-greenland-test-10472649/ https://www.ipolitics.ca/2024/12/06/canada-to-appoint-arctic-ambassador-open-consulates-in-alaska-and-greenland-under-new-northern-policy/ https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2024/12/minister-joly-launches-canadas-arctic-foreign-policy.html https://globalnews.ca/news/11615647/greenland-donald-trump-nato-canada-eu-retaliation/ https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/canada-ohttps://www.coastreporter.net/national-news/security-experts-sound-alarm-for-canada-as-trump-threatens-to-take-greenland-11760757pen-consulate-nuuk-greenland Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 78: Something is Afoot on the Salish Sea...

    Since 2007, a chilling mystery has unfolded along the shores of the Salish Sea: dozens of human feet, still in sneakers, have washed ashore without explanation. In this episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon that has baffled locals and sparked global intrigue. Are these grisly discoveries the result of foul play, natural decomposition, or something even stranger? We’ll explore the science behind why feet detach, the role of ocean currents, and the theories investigators have considered. Join us as we unravel the facts, dispel myths, and examine what these severed feet reveal about the sea—and about us.

    MICROBREW: The Belmont House in Lincoln New Brunswick

    Perched along the banks of the Saint John River in Lincoln, New Brunswick, Belmont House stands as one of the region’s most intriguing landmarks—a stately neoclassical home built around 1820 for Judge John Murray Bliss, son of a Loyalist settler. Later, it became closely tied to Robert Duncan Wilmot, a Father of Confederation and Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, who lived there intermittently until his death in 1891. But beyond its political pedigree and architectural grandeur, Belmont House carries a second, darker legacy—one whispered through generations of locals. In this episode, we explore the folklore that claims the house once sheltered British troops, complete with basement holding cells, cannon rooms overlooking the river, and even a tunnel leading down to the shoreline. Residents have reported eerie voices, reappearing stains, shadowy figures in parlours, and footsteps on staircases long after the living have gone to bed. Blending documented history with lived experiences, this episode traces Belmont House’s evolution from Loyalist estate to political landmark to one of New Brunswick’s most quietly haunted homes.
