This week on Down the Crooked Path, Amanda turns her gaze to one of Canada’s most enduring mysteries: the life—and death—of Tom Thomson.

Painter. Outdoorsman. Icon. Thomson’s vivid depictions of Algonquin Park defined a generation of Canadian art and inspired the Group of Seven. But in July 1917, his body was found in Canoe Lake under circumstances that remain shrouded in suspicion and legend.

Was it accident, suicide, or murder? Why do stories of secret burials, violent arguments, and cover-ups still haunt the shores of Canoe Lake?

Join Amanda as she unpacks the life, art, and unanswered questions surrounding Tom Thomson, and explores why, more than a century later, his ghost still lingers in the Canadian imagination.
