Minute Women

Whatever happened to those orange boxes? The Minute Women have been busy over the last few weeks! We received an awesome email from a listener who helps fill in some details about the Dr. Lucille Teasdale Corti story. We also share some clips from our recent features on the North of Normal Podcast and the InTALKSicated Podcast. And (eventually) we get around to talking about Halloween in Canada, the iconic Unicef collection boxes, and the mystery of whatever happened to them!

What is Minute Women?

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.
