• The 1775 Invasion of Quebec - Canada Day Special

  This Canada Day, we're lighting the fireworks and revisiting one of the most awkward house calls in history, the 1775 Invasion of Quebec. Yep, before America was even officially America, they tried to "liberate" Quebec.We unpack how a ragtag group of revolutionaries, led by guys named Benedict, Montgomery and the Green Mountain Boys, who marched through the snow, begged the French to join the rebellion, and ended up face-planting into a fortress city that wasn’t buying what they were selling.What happens when provinces get itchy feet? Who gets to decide what "freedom" looks like? And what lessons can we learn from a time when outsiders thought they could just walk in and take a province?All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

• The Quebec Biker War

  Move over, Sons of Anarchy—this is the real, blood-soaked, leather-clad chaos that turned Quebec into a battleground for biker gangs in the '90s. And yes, it involved rocket launchers.This week, we dig into the Quebec Biker War, a turf war so violent and explosive it made national headlines, just not enough headlines, considering it killed over 160 people and had daycare centres dodging bombs. This is Canada Is Boring: where even the polite provinces have turf wars and bad tattoos.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

• The Windsor Hum

  What do you get when you mix industrial noise, international mystery, and a whole lot of polite complaining? That’s right — The Windsor Hum.This week we dive ears-first into one of the weirdest and most persistent sonic mysteries in the Great White North. Since the early 2010s, folks in Windsor, Ontario, have been plagued by a low, rumbling sound that won’t go away. It’s not your fridge. It’s not your neighbour’s subwoofer. It’s something else entirely.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.
