This Canada Day, we're lighting the fireworks and revisiting one of the most awkward house calls in history, the 1775 Invasion of Quebec. Yep, before America was even officially America, they tried to "liberate" Quebec. We unpack how a ragtag group of revolutionaries, led by guys named Benedict, Montgomery and the Green Mountain Boys, who marched through the snow, begged the French to join the rebellion, and ended up face-planting into a fortress city that wasn’t buying what they were selling. W...

Move over, Sons of Anarchy—this is the real, blood-soaked, leather-clad chaos that turned Quebec into a battleground for biker gangs in the '90s. And yes, it involved rocket launchers. This week, we dig into the Quebec Biker War , a turf war so violent and explosive it made national headlines, just not enough headlines, considering it killed over 160 people and had daycare centres dodging bombs. This is Canada Is Boring : where even the polite provinces have turf wars and bad tattoos. All our li...

A new political party wants Alberta to quit Canada. This week, we dive into the freshly minted Alberta Republican Party and its bold plan to turn the Wild Rose province into a country of its own. As someone who lived through the political fever dream that was Brexit, Rhys breaks down the eerie similarities, the weaponization of identity politics, and how a populist playbook could be galloping straight into the Alberta foothills. Who’s behind the Alberta Republican Party? What they actually want ...

What do you get when you mix industrial noise, international mystery, and a whole lot of polite complaining? That’s right — The Windsor Hum . This week we dive ears-first into one of the weirdest and most persistent sonic mysteries in the Great White North. Since the early 2010s, folks in Windsor, Ontario, have been plagued by a low, rumbling sound that won’t go away. It’s not your fridge. It’s not your neighbour’s subwoofer. It’s something else entirely . All our links: https://bio.to/canboring...

This week we dive into the incredible, slightly pungent, and definitely fascinating world of Canada’s ammonia car pioneer . Greg Vezina, political activist turned eco-inventor, is out to prove that fuel doesn’t have to come from fossils — it can come from fertilizer. From saving the planet to raising eyebrows at the emissions testing centre, Greg’s mission is part climate crusade, part Canadian curiosity.

On the quiet Labour Day weekend of 1972, three masked men executed a daring heist at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Scaling a tree and slipping through a skylight under repair, they descended into the museum, subdued the guards, and made off with 18 paintings and 39 pieces of jewelry—valued at $2 million at the time, making it the largest art theft in Canadian history.Among the stolen works was a rare Rembrandt landscape, along with pieces by Delacroix, Rubens, and Millet.Despite ransom negot...

In this episode, we ride into the extraordinary life of John Ware , one of the most iconic and underrepresented figures in Canadian history. Born into slavery in the American South, Ware rose above the brutality of his beginnings to become a celebrated cowboy, rancher, and folk hero in 19th-century Alberta. We explore his journey from enslavement to freedom, his unmatched skills as a horseman, and his profound impact on Western Canada’s ranching culture. All our links: https://bio.to/canboring T...

This week on Canada Is Boring , we're diving into the wild, punch-throwing, referee-tackling life of Billy Coutu – the first (and only!) player to be banned for life from the NHL . From humble beginnings in North Bay, Ontario to becoming a bruising defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins, Coutu left his mark – it wasn’t just fists and penalties; there was drama, scandal, and a full-on riot to cap it all off.

You know what they say: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. But what happens when you're in Canada? Well, apparently, if you're these two British tourists, you take a perfectly good holiday and turn it into a low-budget crime spree. This week, we break down the bizarre (and incredibly avoidable) misadventures of two UK lads who decided that seeing the Rockies and eating poutine wasn’t enough excitement for them. Instead, they went full GTA: Canadian Edition. What crimes did they commit? They just...

Buckle up, earthlings, because this week, we’re diving deep into one of the weirdest, sexiest, and most unique religious movements of all time—Raëlism. That’s right, it’s the UFO-based, sex-positive, clone-happy belief system that took la Belle Province by storm in the ‘90s. Move over, poutine—Quebec’s real claim to fame might just be its cosmic commitment to extraterrestrial erotic enlightenment. Echo Podcast Summit!

In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest culinary loopholes ever approved by the Catholic Church: the time beaver was classified as fish so it could be eaten during Lent. Yep, you heard that right—furry, dam-building rodents made the menu for pious Canadians looking to stick to their fasting rules. How did this happen? Why did 17th-century Catholic clergy decide beavers belonged in the same category as salmon? All our links: https://bio.to/canboring This podcast is hosted two idiots an...

Before the Trump name was synonymous with real estate and politics, Friedrich Drumpf—grandfather of U.S. President Donald Trump—was building a fortune in the wild frontier of the Yukon Gold Rush. In this episode, we trace his journey from a small German village to the treacherous mountain passes of Canada, where he discovered that mining the miners—through saloons, hotels, and brothels—was far more profitable than panning for gold. Join us as we explore the untold story of ambition, risk, and vi...

In this episode, we dive into Pierre Poilievre’s so-called Common Sense Questionnaire —a form that’s less about gathering opinions and more about reinforcing his party’s narrative. With leading questions and manipulative phrasing, this “survey” feels more like a tool for ideological conditioning than genuine outreach. Is this just another political stunt, or is Poilievre taking a page from the psychological playbook of cult-like persuasion? Let’s break it down and see what’s really going on. Red...

On his drive home, Rhys had a revelation: Canada needs a plan for when the U.S. inevitably invades.

Before Elon Musk was attempting to coup, his grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, was busy stirring up political trouble in 1930s Canada. This week, we explore how Haldeman went from chiropractor to outspoken leader of the Canadian technocracy movement—a radical political group that thought democracy needed to get phased out so an elite group of engineers and scientists could seize control of the entire North American continent. We’ll break down his unconventional beliefs, his clashes with the gover...
