When The Newton Boys Terrorized Saskatchewan

It was the largest Arctic naval battle in North American history, and it was fought on the shores of Hudson Bay hundreds of years ago. This battle is little-known, little-remembered but still very important when it comes to the history of Canada and the fur trade.

A Terrible Tragedy: The Lost NWMP Patrol of 1911

On May 1, 1917, thousands of children from hundreds of school were given the day off. Why? To kill 500,000 gophers in a governmental effort to rid the province of the animal. Did it do more harm than good? What was the experience of gopher day like for children, organizers and others? Today, we delve into this unique Saskatchewan holiday from year's past.

School's Out For Gopher Day In Saskatchewan

He was one of the greatest explorers of the New World, with several geographical locations named for him. Unfortunately, he, along with seven of his crew and his son, were left for dead on a boat in Hudson Bay after his crew mutinied against him. What happened after his ship, The Discovery, lost sight of him? Was he murdered? Did he become part of an Indigenous tribe? Was he held captive? In this episode, I take a look at the possible fates of Henry Hudson.

The Fate Of Henry Hudson

While the American Prohibition Era gets much more attention, Canada had various levels of prohibition before the United States did, from the municipal all the way to the federal level. In this week's podcast, I am looking at how Canada implemented prohibition, the impact it caused and the local stories that came about from it.

Canada's Own Prohibition Era

For a brief period of time, about 3,000 years, there was an entire sea in the confines of Canada, and the United States. In my new short-form history dives called Penny Sized History, I look at the history of the Champlain Sea.

Every Canadian knows the song about him, and the myth surrounding him, but who was Bill Barilko? Where did the man who scored the winning goal for Toronto in the Stanley Cup Final grow up, how did he die and how did they search for him when he went missing? Today, I dive into the history behind the man who became a legend thanks to a Tragically Hip song.

In today’s brief look at various aspects of Canadian history, I explore the Sunnyslope Shelter. This small dugout in the middle of a field in Central Alberta was once home to two men over 100 years ago. Today, it is a provincial historical site and a very unique place to visit.
