On a freezing night in 1880, the rural town of Lucan, Ontario, erupted into chaos. A mob of fifty men—neighbors, farmers, pillars of the community—marched to the Donnelly homestead with vengeance in their hearts. What followed was one of the bloodiest massacres in Canadian history: a family slaughtered, their home burned to the ground, and an entire town complicit in the crime. In this episode of The Flat Circle Podcast, we unravel the twisted tale of mob justice, small-town secrets, and the lingering question: how do you convict an entire community?
