Canada's Iceberg Aircraft Carrier 6:20

Play Pause

1M ago6:20

6:20

During the Second World War, the Allies dreamed up something that sounds impossible — an aircraft carrier made of ice and sawdust. Not a metaphor, not a Canadian stereotype, but a real, bulletproof iceberg ship, built in secret on a frozen Alberta lake. This is the story of Project Habakkuk, the bizarre wartime invention that could have changed the…

Roll Up the Regrets 3:57

If Alberta wants to leave Canada, fine. But they’re not going alone. I made a packing list. It includes some national treasures we probably don’t need anymore. From dial-up-speed Senators to the world’s saddest coffee coupons, this is what I’d send along with them. Call it tough love, Canadian style. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/…

Every Canadian has had the fantasy: sell it all, move to PEI, and live in a charming farmhouse by the sea. But the reality? Well water, blackflies, and no Costco for hundreds of kilometres.

Deepfake Danger 2:20

1M ago2:20

2:20

You may have seen the viral “Rachel Maddow” clip praising Canada. It’s fake — and dangerous.

The threat isn’t just the video. It’s what comes after. Support this podc…
