On the quiet Labour Day weekend of 1972, three masked men executed a daring heist at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Scaling a tree and slipping through a skylight under repair, they descended into the museum, subdued the guards, and made off with 18 paintings and 39 pieces of jewelry—valued at $2 million at the time, making it the largest art theft in Canadian history.Among the stolen works was a rare Rembrandt landscape, along ...

This week on Canada Is Boring, we're diving into the wild, punch-throwing, referee-tackling life of Billy Coutu – the first (and only!) player to be banned for life from the NHL. From humble beginnings in North Bay, Ontario to becoming a bruising defenseman for the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins, Coutu left his mark – it wasn’t just fists and penalties; there was drama, scandal, and a full-on riot to cap it all off.

In this episode, we journey back to 1713, when the British seized control of Acadia. Tensions grew over the following decades, culminating in the mass expulsion of the Acadian people in the 1750s—a dark chapter in North American history known as the Great Upheaval.

You know what they say: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. But what happens when you're in Canada? Well, apparently, if you're these two British tourists, you take a perfectly good holiday and turn it into a low-budget crime spree. This week, we break down the bizarre (and incredibly avoidable) misadventures of two UK lads who decided that seeing the Rockies and eating poutine wasn’t enough excitement for them. Instead, they went f...

That’s right, it’s the UFO-based, sex-positive, clone-happy belief system that took la Belle Province by storm in the ‘90s. Move over, poutine—Quebec’s real claim to fame might just be its cosmic commitment to extraterrestrial erotic enlightenment.

In this episode, we dive into one of the strangest culinary loopholes ever approved by the Catholic Church: the time beaver was classified as fish so it could be eaten during Lent. Yep, you heard that right—furry, dam-building rodents made the menu for pious Canadians looking to stick to their fasting rules. How did this happen? Why did 17th-century Catholic clergy decide beavers belonged in the same category as salmon?

Before the Trump name was synonymous with real estate and politics, Friedrich Drumpf—grandfather of U.S. President Donald Trump—was building a fortune in the wild frontier of the Yukon Gold Rush. In this episode, we trace his journey from a small German village to the treacherous mountain passes of Canada, where he discovered that mining the miners—through saloons, hotels, and brothels—was far more profitable than panning for gold....
