On May 10, 1973, a stranger walked into a bank on Main Street in Kenora, Ontario, carrying guns, duffle bags, and a homemade bomb that was armed to a switch he clenched between his teeth. For more than an hour the standoff dragged on inside the bank as a growing crowd of onlookers crowded the street outside it’s doors.
At 4:12 p.m., a single rifle shot ended the robbery in an explosion that shattered windows, scattered money through the air, and erased the man at the center of it all.
More than fifty years later, his identity and his motives remain unknown.
In this episode of The Canadian Gothic, I’m joined by Jack Luna, host of the Dark Topic podcast, to examine the Kenora Bank Robbery Explosion.

In this episode we break down two major Canadian UFO news stories, including the announcement of an upcoming auction featuring a sizable and historically significant UFO document collection, and a strange August UFO event that was witnessed by people across large parts of eastern Canada.
We also turn our attention to the skies through the eyes of our listeners, reviewing and discussing several listener-contributed UFO sightings from across the country. From puzzling lights to unexplained aerial behavior, Chris offers his expert insight while we explore what might be behind these reports and why they continue to capture the public imagination.

In June 2018, following a Hockey Canada gala in London, Ontario, a young woman alleged she was sexually assaulted by members of Canada’s gold medal winning World Junior hockey team. The case was investigated and closed without charges, and the public remained unaware for years.
That changed in 2022, when a civil lawsuit and quiet settlement from the sport’s regulating body Hockey Canada exposed the allegations. The fallout triggered parliamentary hearings, sponsor withdrawals, leadership resignations, and a reopened criminal investigation that culminated in a high profile trial against five of the men involved, all now NHL players.
In this episode, I’m joined by Kristi Lee, host of Canadian True Crime, to walk through the full timeline of the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal and examine what it reveals about accountability, power, and trust in Canadian sport.

In May of 1975, a high school in Brampton, Ontario became the scene of Canada's first modern mass school shooting.
Sixteen-year-old Michael Slobodian walked into Brampton Centennial Secondary School carrying two rifles in a guitar case and, within minutes, left two people dead, thirteen wounded, and an entire generation traumatized.
In this episode of the Canadian Gothic we trace the events leading up to the attack, the moments of terror inside the school, and the survivor stories that have echoed through the decades.
This is the forgotten Canadian tragedy that unfolded long before Columbine, a chilling reminder that the roots of modern day school gun violence reach further back, and closer to home, than most realize.

I love your show, can't bear listening to this guest's stupid Kardasian vocal fry. I wish young women had a clue as to how horrible they sound, but I mostly hope they sound like an 80 year old before age 30 from destroying their larynx.
It's about time you talk (a little) about the obvious in this case. It is important to discuss the bad environment and the adults that everyone sees.
look into the kenora mystery/murder of the wife of local highschool teacher Mr Harvey. This captivated the community for 3 trials ( I think) and remains unsolved (I believe)
Fascinating episode! Howdy from BC & AB
I know of a true murder from SK, and after decades, the killer was tried and is in prison. I knew the victim. Let me know if interested in details.
Excellent program!
Jordan- Daniel is guilty. He and the mother know exactly what happened to the children.
Honestly the new name doesn’t pack the punch this show needs. What is Gothic about being Canadian? On the flip side the show is worth a gander. I recommend the story of Lindsay Souvannarath to start. I’ll keep listening but it’ll always be Night Time in my heart. 🌚🥀
it's bittersweet, but I'm sure it will be great. nighttime has been a favorite for 7 years. I can't wait to see what's next!
The recording is a mess..I couldn't hear any part of the story they kept playing
I think the kids overdosed on something the parents left out and the parents disposed of them somewhere else. That's my opinion. May God wrap his arms and live around these two beautiful children ❤️
regarding scams listen to True Crime Reports from AlJazeera they reported on scam trafficking where there are these huge compounds in Cambodia etc.....who traffic humans to scam people and are abusive if they don't hit a certain limit each day or try to escape. the key would be to break those up somehow.
Oh man, I totally LOVE me some Jack Luna and Dark Topic. Fantastic stuff.
What the hell are you talking about "good weird" and "bad weird"? Are you saying people who like Joe Rogan are "bad weird"? Jesus, I hope that's not what you meant. I loved this show. And big surprise, I'm a fan of Joe Rogan. Don't make me choose. Don't be "bad weird" dude. Oh wait, you're Canadian. 😔
Jordan is really a bone apart. ☺ I'll see myself out......
I play monopoly go 😂🤣

Congratulations Mrs. Madelanye!
this Paul guy is an idiot. He is one of these old blowhards that think that their opinion reigns supreme. That it's the only way to think, and there's no room for a different way of thinking. He doesn't speak for everyone. That's why an opinion is an opinion. And in my opinion he's an idiot!
