Weird Stuff Happens In Canada Weird Stuff Happens In Canada

Holy cow has it ever been a while since we posted a new episode! Apologies to all our die-hard fans who have been waiting in agony. In this episode which we recorded so long ago that Emily doesn't really remember what we talked about, Britt talks about the lost Canadians! Plus, Emily has decided this is the end of season one!!

It's another two-part episode! This week is part one of our discussion of immigration, and Emily talks about Chinese immigration to Canada in the early 20th century! Spoiler alert: Canada was the worst!

Stuck inside during that weird April ice storm we just had, Britt and Emily talk about some of Canada's weird weather events! Britt talks about the devastating Great Lakes storm of 1913, and Emily tells the story of the (slightly mis-named) year without summer in 1816!

Today, Britt and Emily talk about some not-so-great events in Canada's past that lead to advances in civil rights. Emily tells the story of the 1981 Toronto Bathhouse Raids, and Britt talks about Viola Desmond! Plus, it's the premiere of our brand new theme song!!

Canada: secretly the best at a lot of stuff! Today we talk about world records - Britt talks about the world's first UFO landing pad, and Emily tells the story of a really big wheel of cheese! Plus, the audio is a bit choppy at the beginning because Emily had to cut out a part where she was mean to Britt and felt bad about it after!

In this episode, Britt and Emily go back to their roots - and tell stories about their hometowns! Emily talks about one of the founders of Goderich, and Britt brings us a very special seal!
