Canada’s First Political Assassination: Thomas D’Arcy McGee

Episode 443: Thomas D’Arcy McGee’s remarkable life took him from Irish revolutionary and political exile to journalist, celebrated orator, member of Parliament, and Father of Canadian Confederation. After rejecting armed rebellion, he became one of the Fenian movement’s fiercest public opponents, drawing condemnation and threats from former allies. In the early hours of April 7, 1868, only nine months after Confederation, McGee was shot outside his Ottawa boarding house after leaving Parliament. His death is recognized as Canada’s first political assassination. The murder shocked the new country, led to a controversial investigation and trial, and left questions that remain unresolved more than 150 years later.

Ontario Seniors Make a Horror Movie!? | Silver Screamers with Sean Cisterna

What happens when a group of Canadian senior citizens decides to make a horror movie about a killer rug? In this episode of The Canadian Gothic, we are joined by Canadian filmmaker Sean Cisterna to discuss both the short film The Rug (which was shot, produced and starring a group of Ontario seniors) and the documentary Silver Screamers, which follows the group as they step outside their comfort zones to create the horror film. Sean shares how he recruited a group of first-time filmmakers, convinced them to embrace the horror genre, and captured their experience in a documentary that has since earned international attention on the film festival circuit.

Halloween 2026: The Salish Sea Feet, Nine Years On

Episode 442: To mark our ninth anniversary, we're going back to where Dark Poutine began: the mystery of the Salish Sea floating feet. Since 2007, more than twenty disembodied human feet — most still laced into running shoes — have washed ashore along the coastlines of British Columbia and Washington State, sparking theories of serial killers, trafficking rings, and worse. This time we bring the full research the story always deserved: the science that finally explained how it happens, the named victims behind the headlines, and the case that, as of this recording, still hasn't been closed.

The Ghosts of The Joseph Brant Museum

On the shore of Lake Ontario in Burlington, Ontario, there’s a White House with green shutters. It's a replica of the home of a renowned Mohawk and British army captain. After the original building was demolished in 1923, a Museum was then built in recognition of Joseph Brant ‘Thayendanegea’ and closely modelled his home in Burlington built at the head of the lake. Kate Almeida, Manager of Education and Outreach at the museums of Burlington, returns to Haunted Canada to share the history of this remarkable man and the investigators who sat down with Brant's belongings and heard someone else's name.
