This episode might be the strangest piece of Canadiana we've found yet: and warning, it's not suitable for children. First, we go deep down a rabbit hole to investigate Bear by Marian Engel, a novella that won the Governor-General's Literary Award decades before it became an internet meme—because it's all about lady/bear sex. Next, we explore first- and second-wave feminism and the lives of women in Canada during Bear's time.
