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?

Before the Trump name was synonymous with real estate and politics, Friedrich Drumpf—grandfather of former 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 vice that laid the foundation for the Trump family empire.

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.

On his drive home, Rhys had a revelation: Canada needs a plan for when the U.S. inevitably invades. This week, Rhys lays out his entirely foolproof strategy to protect the nation—armed only with half-formed ideas, questionable logic, and a strong belief in Canadian ingenuity. From arming average Canadians Swiss style to recruiting global hackers, it’s a plan that probably wont work.

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 government, and how his racsit ideas ultimately pushed him to leave Canada and start fresh in South Africa.
