The Edmonton Book Ban

In this episode, we dive into the heated debate over the removal of classic and culturally significant books from Edmonton school libraries. From "The Handmaid’s Tale" to "Brave New World," we explore why these works are being targeted, who’s behind the push for censorship, and what it means for students, parents, and educators. Join us as we unpack the difference between banning and curating, the influence of lobby groups like Action4Canada, and the bigger questions about freedom, education, and who gets to shape young minds.

Hawaiian Pizza (Premium)

Love it or hate it, few foods spark as much debate as Hawaiian pizza. But here’s the kicker: it’s not Hawaiian at all...it’s Canadian. That’s right, pineapple-on-pizza was invented in Ontario in the 1960s by a Greek immigrant named Sam Panopoulos, and somehow it went on to divide the planet into Team Pineapple vs. Team Purist. In this episode of Canada is Boring, we chew over the bizarre origin story of Hawaiian pizza, why it’s Canada’s most controversial culinary export, and how one small-town restaurant ended up changing the global pizza conversation forever. Expect tangy history, saucy opinions, and maybe a few cheesy jokes along the way.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

The Hermit Of Gully Lake

In this episode of Canada is Boring, we dive into the strange, stubborn, and slightly tragic life of Willard Kitchener MacDonald, better known as the Hermit of Gully Lake. Draft dodger? Freedom fighter? Just a guy who really, really hated small talk? For more than 60 years, Willard lived alone in the woods of Nova Scotia, no phone, no electricity, no Amazon Prime. We unpack how a man survives (and thrives) off-grid for decades and why he became a local legend.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

The Calgary Balloonatic

In this episode, we spin the tale of Daniel Boria, Calgary’s self-styled “balloonatic.” Seeking promo gold for his cleaning business, he strapped over 100 helium balloons to a lawn chair, then soared above the Stampede grounds like something out of Up. His plan to parachute in fell apart fast, high winds blew him far off target and toward airport airspace. He reached an astonishing 14,000 feet before being arrested for “dangerous operation of an aircraft” and other infractions. A judge called the stunt “unconscionably stupid,” yet Boria shrugged it off, bragging that it would be “the greatest story to tell for the rest of my life”All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

The 1775 Invasion of Quebec - Canada Day Special

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.What happens when provinces get itchy feet? Who gets to decide what "freedom" looks like? And what lessons can we learn from a time when outsiders thought they could just walk in and take a province?All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

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 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?

The Windsor Hum

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.

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.

The Skylight Caper

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 negotiations and extensive investigations, only two items have ever been recovered, and the culprits remain unidentified.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

John Ware: Trailblazing the West

In this episode, we ride into the extraordinary life of John Ware, one of the most iconic and underrepresented figures in Canadian history.

Jesse is too uneducated and privileged to make such comments as he does. Reese doesn't thoroughly research his subjects. I wanted to like this but I was just reminded of how those who know very little speak very confidently on subjects they know little of.
