(Did you know this Patreon preview has been out for a month and that I forgot to hit "publish"?)

Frank Ney. That name is infamous in British Columbia politics not because of his real estate efforts but because of how he as mayor put on a pirate persona and ruled over the lands of Nanaimo for over two decades. His terror led to forcing people to race boats made out of bathtubs with meagre engines between Vancouver Island and the City of Vancouver.

In this episode, we're talking about the world famous bathtub races. That's right. Bathtub racing. It's real, it's a thing, and despite this being a spoiler, nobody has ever died doing it.
