Africville Forever Jul 01, 2022

The Gimli Glider Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

The Gimli Glider is a crazy tale about what happens when a passenger plane runs out of fuel. With equal amounts of good and bad luck, the pilots battled technical issues and bizarre circumstances as they tried to get the 61 passengers safely down from 41,000 feet.

If Day: The Nazi Invasion of Winnipeg Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

On 19 February 1942, Nazi soldiers, tanks and planes invaded the capital of Manitoba. Seizing Winnipeg, they captured the Premier, Major and Governor General. They looted stores, burned books and threatened a death sentence without trial to all who opposed.

This isn't some alternative history fiction. This was the brain child of the Greater Winnipeg Victory Loan organization.

The event was a huge performance to raise money for the war effort, striking the fear of a real invasion into the heart of 'Friendly Manitoba'.

Project Surname May 23, 2022

Show notes

Before the arrival of Europeans, the Inuit had a complex naming tradition that reflected their culture, environment, animals, family and spirits. In the 1940's the Canadian Government ignored them and gave everyone numbered disks. By the late 60's they thought it might be better to let the people choose a surname. So they sent the scholar Abe Okpik to help them choose and record. We explore this far from perfect solution and the amazing life of Abe Okpik.

Everything's Coming Up Poilievre May 16, 2022

Show notes

Is he a populist? Could he be Prime Minister? All the serious political shows are asking the big questions, but all we want to know is did he really steal chicken fingers? As expected, Jesse has never heard of the currently most talked about political figure. So this episode is jammed with fun facts about Pierre Poilievre.
