This week, Kate is back with more love & romance stories from pioneer Haliburton County. Makes one wonder what she has up her sleeve for next week with Valentine's Day coming up. Plus, Paul has the story of the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company that recently folded after 355 years of existence - making it historically the world's longest living corporation. It goes back to two French fur traders that had an idea for a start-up that would simplify the collection of furs in early Canada, and how the idea was spread to investors in London's coffee houses.
