To listen to Minute Women or not to listen to Minute Women, that is the dumbest question we have ever heard! This week the gals put on their thespian hats and dive into the history of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival and its creator Tom Patterson. From stolen chickens to Alec Guinness, this one is a true epic.

Minute Women is your weekly dose of Canadian history and corny 90s nostalgia. 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.
Did 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?
Well, neither did we! Join us to learn more! A not-so-proud part of our national heritage.
