This week we take a long, winding road to talking about one of Canada's most vibrant and diverse communities: Toronto's own Kensington Market. What began as the "Jewish Market" has become a bohemian escape smack down in the middle of Canada's largest city. We also discuss back to school, Kosher salt, and the best meals we have ever had!

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.

Well, neither did we! Join us to learn more! A not-so-proud part of our national heritage.
