Introducing: A Most Audacious Heist - Shoot For The Moon | 01

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:45:03 -0000

It’s a summer night in 1998. Vienna, Austria. And petty thief Daniel Blanchard is about to carry out the heist of a lifetime. Stealing a crown jewel. The last remaining diamond Sisi Star.

His plan? A daring night-time parachute jump.

Daniel is no ordinary thief. His heists are ingenious, meticulously planned; his escapes from the law defy belief. And Daniel knows that if he can get his hands on the star, it will launch him into the criminal big-leagues.

Daniel’s exploits unleash a relentless game of cat-and-mouse, as police track him across continents yet vanishes from their grasp.

What he doesn’t know is that the Sisi Star has a history. A dark history. Its original owner, the legendary Empress Elisabeth of Austria, used it to carve her own legacy of absolute beauty and power. That pursuit drove her to her very limits.

And now Daniel’s fate is fixed to that same star. But how long can Sisi’s star stay lucky for Daniel?

This is A Most Audacious Heist – it’s the story of a master thief, an intercontinental manhunt, and the jewel that changes everything.

Canadian History Ehx Presents: Canadian Time Machine | Nunavut Turns 25: Land, Language, and Self-Determination

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 13:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we step back in time with the Canadian Time Machine podcast to explore the past, present, and future of Canada’s youngest territory—Nunavut. At just 25 years old, Nunavut is still finding its footing, but it’s come a long way since its historic creation on April 1, 1999. Historian Kenn Harper, known to Nunavummiut as Ilisaijikutaaq (the tall teacher), shares stories from his time learning Inuktitut and documenting Inuit culture, including insights from his new book on the Fifth Thule Expedition. Then, Premier P.J. Akeeagok reflects on Nunavut’s journey—its triumphs, its growing pains, and the work still ahead. He discusses the significance of a recent land transfer agreement that grants Nunavut full control over its lands—a major milestone toward self-determination.

More episodes are available at https://lnkfi.re/canadian-time-machine. To read the episode transcripts in French and English, and to learn more about historic Canadian milestones, please visit thewalrus.ca/canadianheritage.

A Force On The Prairies: Jerry Potts

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 12:00:00 -0000

Jerry Potts was the son of an Indigenous mother and a Scottish father, and throughout his life he cemented himself as a legendary figure in the Canadian West. Without him, it is possible the North West Mounted Police may have never lasted long enough to become the RCMP.

Introducing... Dark Poutine | The Quakers and The Killers: The Murder of Peter Lazier

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 04:01:00 -0000

Episode 294: On the evening of December 21, 1883, near Bloomfield, Ontario, visitor Peter Lazier was murdered by two intruders at the farmhouse of Quakers Gilbert and Margaret Jones. The community, deeply affected, quickly organized a search. They traced footprints in the snow, leading to Joseph Thomset and the Lowder family's homes near West Lake. By the next day, Joseph Thomset and brothers David and George Lowder were arrested and charged with murder.

The legal process moved rapidly. The coroner's inquest began the next day, followed by formal proceedings within a week. The trial, held at the Prince Edward County Courthouse in Picton just five months later, suggested the motive was robbery, aimed at stealing the $555 Gilbert Jones earned from selling hops. George Lowder and Joseph Thomset were found guilty of murder and hanged in June of 1884. Many felt justice was served, but others believed the law got it wrong, acting hastily without sufficient evidence.

D-Day: The Canadians Land At Juno Beach

Canadian History Ehx introduces: Canadian TIme Machine | Champagne in Charlottetown: PEI and the Road to Confederation

Sat, 23 Mar 2024 15:30:00 -0000

In this episode, we travel back with the Canadian Time Machine podcast to look at the moment Prince Edward Island entered Confederation. Historian Dr. Edward MacDonald takes us back to the Charlottetown Conference, where it’s said that discussions about the Dominion of Canada flowed over several glasses of champagne. He’ll also help us understand why PEI joined the country six years after it was formed. This episode also features reflections on reconciliation from Julie Pellissier-Lush, an actress, knowledge keeper, storyteller, and the first Mi’kmaq Poet Laureate for PEI.

Terror In The Dark: The Springhill Mine Disasters

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0000

The coal mines in Springhill fueled the community's economy. At its height, there were 8,000 residents, 1,600 of which worked in the mines.

The mines also brought tragedy and death over the years. Three times, in 1891, 1956 and 1958, the coal mines killed dozens in explosions and mine collapses.

The True (Non-Hollywood) Story Of The Canadian Caper

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0000

In November 1979, six Americans escaped when their embassy was overrun by students in Iran. For the next three months, they were protected and hidden by Canadians.

While the film Argo gave a different version of history, the truth is that Canada put itself on the line to help the Americans, getting them home in what is now called The Canadian Caper.

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0000

For five days in January 1998, a single storm brought havoc to eastern Ontario and western Quebec. In that time, upwards of 100 mm of freezing rain fell on the area, taking down hundreds of transmission towers, thousands of power poles and leaving people in the dark for hours, days and weeks.

Night Justice: The Donnelly Massacre

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0000

The Donnelly family of Lucan were blamed for everything bad that happened in the area. Whether they were actually the cause of all the crime in the area is up for debate.

Regardless, in 1880, the family was massacred by a vigilante mob in the night, giving rise to the famous story of The Black Donnellys.

Introducing... Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry | The Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash | 1

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0000

The old days of air travel were quite risky…compared to today, the chances of your flight going down were far greater …every airport had kiosks and coin-operating vending machines where you could buy life insurance before you headed to the gate—you know, just in case you thought you weren’t going to make it to your final destination…

1977 was one of the worst years for accidents in aviation history…in addition to several violent hijackings every month—sometimes with fatal results—There were also passenger plane crashes with great loss of life…including the worst aviation disaster of all time when two 747s planes collided on a runway in the Canary Islands, killing 583 people.

Frank Sinatra’s mother, the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, and all but one member of the University of Evansville basketball team died in crashes…

But then there were the events of October 20, 1977, when a rickety chartered plane went down in a swamp in Mississippi…on board were members of Lynyrd Skynyrd…six of the 24 passengers died, including singer Ronnie Van Zandt, guitarist Steve Gaines, backup singer Cassie Gaines, and assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick…both pilots also died…

What happened?

Have I got a story for you...

The Man Who Inspired Me: Pierre Berton

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 13:00:00 -0000

In the 1960s, it was said Canada had entered The Berton era. From the 1950s to the 2000s, Pierre Berton was omnipresent on television screens, radios and on the shelves of bookstores.

He wrote 50 books and showed Canadians they had a past. He brought Canada's history to life, and is a direct inspiration for this very podcast.

Introducing... Deadman's Curse: Slumach's Gold

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0000

This historical, true crime podcast hosted by Kru Williams from History Television's hit original series Deadman’s Curse: The Legend of the Lost Gold investigates the curse and legend surrounding the lost gold mine of Pitt Lake.

On their quest they're joined by members of the Stó:lō and Katzie First Nations, historians and cultural experts of diverse backgrounds, as they sort fact from fiction and give Slumach a voice from the other side of the veil.

You'll hear about how an Indigenous prospector, accused of murder set a curse on anyone who searched for his hidden gold just before he was hanged. Over a century later, a prospector, a mountaineer, a truth-seeker and a way-shower band together to walk the same paths of those who went looking for Slumach’s cursed gold and never returned find how a single bullet was the catalyst for a 150-year-old mystery.

The Story of a National Crime, Episode Four

Sat, 04 Feb 2023 16:57:00 -0000

**This is a bonus episode provided by Knockabout Media, rather than Canadian History Ehx**

He became the Chief Medical Health Officer of Ontario. He wrote the very first Health Code in Ontario. He was president of the American Public Health Association. He was a North American expert on public health. Dr. Peter Henderson Bryce wanted to become Canada's first public health officer. When an opening came up at Indian Affairs, he decided it would be a good stepping stone.

In this series, we look at the practices, policies, and official correspondence to reveal the intentional actions and acts of indifference that contributed to poor health and lethal outcomes. There will be examples of people who pushed back - the whistleblowers - the parents, the Indigenous communities, the bureaucrats, and members of the clergy. The experts interviewed highlight how archival documents only reveal part of the history and that numerous questions remain.

Content Warning: This series talks about Indian Residential Schools, medical racism, segregated health care, and missing patients.If you are a Residential School Survivor or Intergenerational Survivor, you can access support through the National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at 1-866-925-4419. Mental health and crisis support is also available through Hope 4 Wellness at 1-855-242-3310.

More Than A Footnote: Charlotte Small

David Thompson is my favourite Canadian historical figure, but there is another person who is part of his story and played a major role in his success; his wife...Charlotte Small. Together, the couple were married for 58 years, having 11 children, several of whom were born and raised while exploring. She is a fascinating person, and much more than a footnote in the story of Thompson.

Introducing...The Story Of A National Crime

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 12:00:00 -0000

2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Story of a National Crime. It was written by Dr. Peter Henderson Bryce. It was an eighteen-page pamphlet containing evidence of neglect, negligence and harm to First Nations children and their communities. From 1904 to 1913, Bryce was the medical inspector for the Department of the Interior and Indian Affairs. It was not the first time he had spoken out. This pamphlet was his appeal for justice and his condemnation of federal inaction.

In this series, Knockabout Media looks at the practices, policies, and official correspondence to reveal the intentional actions and acts of indifference that contributed to poor health and lethal outcomes. There will be examples of people who pushed back - the whistleblowers - the parents, the Indigenous communities, the bureaucrats, and members of the clergy. The experts interviewed highlight how archival documents only reveal part of the history and that numerous questions remain.

Content Warning: This series talks about Indian Residential Schools, medical racism, segregated health care, and missing patients.

The Summit Series (Part One): Prelude To The Summit

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 13:00:00 -0000

Beginning in 1920, Canada dominated hockey on the international stage, to the point that Canadians became bored with Canada competing. That would change in 1954 when the Soviets began their dominance and Canada soon found itself falling behind.

All of this would lead to the Summit Series, when Canada decided to send the best hockey players it had to compete against the best of the Soviets.

Thomas Darcy McGee

Sat, 27 Aug 2022 13:00:00 -0000

He was a Father of Confederation, who fought for religious minority rights, and is often referred to as Canada's First Nationalist. He is also, sadly, the first Canadian politician to be assassinated, resulting in a trial that was far from fair for the man accused of the crime.

Sat, 18 Sep 2021 11:00:00 -0000

After the War: The Siberian Expeditionary Force

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 14:26:00 -0000

As the First World War came to an end, the Canadian government would send troops to another part of the world to take part in a new fight, the Russian Civil War. The Siberian Expeditionary Force would spread the Spanish Flu across the country, deal with a mutiny before leaving Canada and spend most of its time playing soccer and hockey in Russia. After a few short months, it was home.

More Than A Coin: The Arrival Of The Loonie

Wed, 08 Apr 2020 15:00:00 -0000

Back in the mid-1980s, it was decided that the time was right to get rid of the dollar bill and replace it with a dollar coin. Originally, the Mint had a design already ready but a decision to save $43.50 would change all of that and bring us the iconic Canadiana of The Loonie. This is the story of the arrival of the Loonie

Leading The Island: The Prime Ministers of Newfoundland

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 14:41:00 -0000

For a period of just under 30 years, Newfoundland was not a colony, but a dominion. With that title, it also had a prime minister, not a premier. During those 30 years, Newfoundland would go through the good and the bad, before tough economic times and corruption resulted in it reverting back to the status of a colony. This is the story of those Prime Ministers.

While women could run for provincial and federal office, and vote, by 1928 they still could not sit on the Canadian Senate. Seeing this, five women would come together to change things, not only in relation to the Senate, but Canada as a whole. It would be a long journey that would reach even higher than the Canadian Supreme Court. This is the story of the Famous Five and the Persons Case.

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 16:15:00 -0000

From 1857 to 1859, five men set out from the Red River area and began exploring and surveying the Canadian West. Their surveys would help lead the railway through in three decades time, and also change the western industry from fur trading to agriculture. They would spur on European settlement, which would also push the Indigenous off their lands. The Palliser Expedition changed the west, for good and bad.

For nearly 100 years, through the entire 17th Century, the Iroquois Confederacy expanded on its territory through the use of European guns in an effort to control the beaver fur trade. It would be a war that would have several battles, many skirmishes and would have lasting repercussions through the 18th Century and beyond. Today, I am looking at The Beaver Wars.

Seven people would lose their lives and the repairs to the building would take over a decade. This is the story of a cigar left sitting on papers, the scapegoat blame that was passed around and the efforts of those inside and outside the building to save what they could.

For a brief few years, the KKK was found throughout Canada, with limited success to its efforts except in Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan, the Klu Klux Klan found a population hungry for their brand of racism and anti-immigration and anti-Catholic rhetoric. Hosting rallies where thousands attended, influencing elections and even committing arson, the Klan’s time in Saskatchewan was brief but memorable and would have a lasting impact.

Death In Canada: The Spanish Flu

Sat, 22 Feb 2020 12:00:00 -0000

In 1918, as the First World War began to come to an end, a new threat arrived on the shores of Canada. It was the Spanish Flu and by the time it burned through the country in 1919, it had killed 55,000 people in the country. From homesteads left empty by entire families losing the battle to the flu, to the cancellation of the Stanley Cup, it was a terrible time for the country. I look at how that flu impacted Canada, from regular citizens to the government itself.

Where It Started: The Origins Of Tim Hortons

Sun, 19 Jan 2020 16:05:00 -0000

It is a coffee shop that is part of Canadiana. Love them or hate them, there is no denying the impact Tim Hortons has had on Canada. In today’s episode, I look at not the company that it is now, but the origins of the company, when it was just a dream of an NHL hockey player named Tim Horton.

A Groundbreaking Journalist: Kit Coleman

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 15:45:00 -0000

Kit Coleman was the first female war correspondent in the world, the first syndicated Canadian columnist and one of the most popular journalists of the 1890s and 1900s. Despite all that, she dealt with prejudice against her sex and a constant push to write about “women’s topics”. Today, she is remembered as a pioneering journalist that made the road for countless female journalists today.

Changing Measurements: Canada Goes Metric

Fri, 10 Jan 2020 16:45:00 -0000

In 1970, Canada made the decision to ditch Imperial measurements and go metric. If you think the carbon tax was a hot button issue, then the metric system was that multiplied by 1000. From Conservative MPs opening a gas station that sold by the gallon, to regular people suing the government, it was not an easy transition. This is the story of that change that had lasting impacts on Canada.

Gold and Death: The Fraser Canyon War

We don’t think of Canada as a place where a lot of wars have been fought, but this isn’t the case. Canada has seen several wars, including the Fraser Canyon War. For a few months in 1858, during the Fraser River Gold Rush, their were militant companies, decapitated bodies and a worry of American annexation. Today, I dive into that insane world of the gold rush.

For two years, U-boats patrolled the inland Canadian waterway of the St. Lawrence River. During that time, they would sink multiple ships, take the lives of dozens of Canadian sailors and put a country on edge as the war reached the home front. Today, I look at the Battle of the St. Lawrence, a time when Canada had to defend its waters against a silent killer. It is a story of success and failures, spies and the tragic killing of civilians.

Before racist attitudes closed the door on the immigration, those black settlers would found several communities in the prairie provinces. One of those communities was Amber Valley, which had a short history but an impactful one on Alberta and Canada.

A History Of Western Separation Movements

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:32:00 -0000

Since Confederation, provinces have been trying to leave Canada. These days, western or Alberta separation seems to be the hot-button topic but not only is it nearly impossible to accomplish, its just a bad idea. In my latest episode of Canadian History Ehx, I look at the history of western separation movements, that have seen little in the way of success over the past 40 years. From the candidate who was against the metric system and multiculturalism, to the separatist party led by a defender of Holocaust-deniers and neo-Nazis, the history of separatist parties and their members is an interesting one.
