We are best friends Grace McNutt and Linnea Swinimer and we are on a mission to tell the untold stories behind the iconic Canadian Heritage Minutes. Along the way, we uncover the funny, weird, and downright terrifying stories left out of Canada’s national history.\n\nDid you know John A. Macdonald's younger brother was murdered in a freak gin incident? Or that Sandford Fleming was going to call standard time \"cosmic time\"? Or that Governor Frontenac was a legendary jerk?\n\nWell, neither did we! Join us to learn more! A not-so-proud part of our national heritage.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/21957039/ay5qcGc.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/21957039/ay5qcGc_1200x628.jpg?s=d19577218ec84ec18c7b5e3194039e64&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://bgracemcnutt.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/bgracemcnutt/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-75mme-14f09af?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":22,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-03:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-3,"text":"(GMT-03:00) Brasilia","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Sao_Paulo"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":129,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Minute Women","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-75mme-14f09af-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-75mme-14f09af?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#428200"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

For our last proper episode of 2020, it was only fitting that we FINALLY do the Halifax Explosion Heritage Minute. Perhaps the most iconic Minute, this one covers the explosive events of December 6, 1917 in Halifax NS and the bravery shown by Vince Coleman, a railway operator. Say with us now: \"ACKNOWLEDGE!\"
