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.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

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 full GTA: Canadian Edition. What crimes did they commit? They just really bad at being criminals.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Ep 464Quebec’s Alien Orgy Cult

E

Buckle up, earthlings, because this week, we’re diving deep into one of the weirdest, sexiest, and most unique religious movements of all time—Raëlism. That’s right, it’s the UFO-based, sex-positive, clone-happy belief system that took la Belle Province by storm in the ‘90s.

Ep 463The Catholic Church Wants You To Eat Beaver

E

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?All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Ep 462The Trump Empire Started In A Yukon Brothel

E

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. Join us as we explore the untold story of ambition, risk, and vice that laid the foundation for the Trump family empire.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Ep 461Poilievre's Creepy Common Sense Questionnaire

E

In this episode, we dive into Pierre Poilievre’s so-called Common Sense Questionnaire—a form that’s less about gathering opinions and more about reinforcing his party’s narrative. With leading questions and manipulative phrasing, this “survey” feels more like a tool for ideological conditioning than genuine outreach. Is this just another political stunt, or is Poilievre taking a page from the psychological playbook of cult-like persuasion? Let’s break it down and see what’s really going on.Reddit postAll our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Ep 459Elon's Grandfather's Technocracy

E

Before Elon Musk was attempting to coup, his grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, was busy stirring up political trouble in 1930s Canada. This week, we explore how Haldeman went from chiropractor to outspoken leader of the Canadian technocracy movement—a radical political group that thought democracy needed to get phased out so an elite group of engineers and scientists could seize control of the entire North American continent. We’ll break down his unconventional beliefs, his clashes with the government, and how his racsit ideas ultimately pushed him to leave Canada and start fresh in South Africa.
