Besting the Americans by providing airmail before them? Or how we had the fourth largest airforce in the world at one point?

This is part two of a three part series! Listen to part one before you get to this episode!

Or that Zellers once made excellent commercials which are still useful for censoring out when Heather and Tamarack say a little too much?

When you ask the average Canadian what they think of when you say the name "Laura Secord", they immediately say something about chocolate. 

In this episode, we talk about who she actually was and how she spent most of her adult life without being acknowledged in her role in saving what would eventually be called Canada. The War of 1812 likely ended up being in the British's favour thanks to her work.

If you're from southern Ontario, we're sorry for being ignorant about where everything is. Heather has only been to Niagara Falls once.
