Some people do terrible things because they're dumb. Some people do terrible things because they're evil. And when people are both dumb AND evil, they do some of the worst thing, and they do them badly. Such is the tale of today's character, Peter Demeter, who is honestly just the worst guy.

Canada has a long and complicated history with people of colour, to put it lightly. Today, we share one of the more uplifting stories from that tangled history, a story of success, grit, and the rugged attitude needed to survive in 18th and 19th century Canada: The story of Rose Fortune.

UPDATE: There was an issue with the original file where the audio went out-of-sync part way through. This version has been updated.

Did you know that the idea of Sasquatch existed decades before the idea of Bigfoot? Did you know that human history is literally filled with ideas of "wildmen?" On today's episode, we take a Canadian look at the legends of Bigfoot and Sasquatch, as we try to figure out whether or not we think such an entity is real.

This week, Benjamin's wife desperately tries to teach both the host and producer about the Rhino Party, a real legitimate political party that exists in Canada. Celebratory rum is drunk, laughs are had, and it's all in all a good time.

This episode dives deep into the wild world of Jean Marie Gaston, a French Catholic cult-leader from Quebec. A truly bizarre tale, worthy of the cold wildernesses of Canada!

Bill Barilko, immortalized in the Tragically Hip Song "Fifty Mission Cap," was more than just a name and a story on a hockey card. He was a real man, who found himself the center of a real mystery--and possibly even a curse. The tables are turned on this episode due to a tragic video gaming injury, so Dirty Clyde takes Junior on a journey into the annals of... the Canuckinomicon!
