This week, it's an all-Valentine's episode. Kate has love in the pioneer Highlands while Paul has a a light look at how Canadians have tended to have a more laid-back attitude about Valentine's Day then maybe some other countries where it's seen as a time to make grander more extravagant demonstrations of affection. Maybe it's the influence of our British origins?

This week, Kate is back with more love & romance stories from pioneer Haliburton County. Makes one wonder what she has up her sleeve for next week with Valentine's Day coming up. Plus, Paul has the story of the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company that recently folded after 355 years of existence - making it historically the world's longest living corporation. It goes back to two French fur traders that had an idea for a start-up that would simplify the collection of furs in early Canada, and how the idea was spread to investors in London's coffee houses.

Haliburton County recently hosted a fur trapping workshop and it got Kate thinking about historical fur trapping when it was more significant in the community. Plus, Paul went down a rabbit hole thinking about all the kitschy "world's biggest" road side attractions that were part of road trips when people starting driving the roads on family vacations. For example there's the world's biggest lobster, the Big Apple, and many more. And, of course, the refrain from the back seat - are we there yet?

This week, Kate has a prelude for Valentines Day coming up soon - it's love & romance in the Highlands. Plus, Paul has the story of the 1993 Battle of the Medak Pocket - Canada's largest military engagement since the Korean War. And it wasn't supposed to happen since it was a UN Peacekeeping Mission. The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry was the unit assigned to monitor a ceasefire but ran into Croatian Forces determined to block their advance. When it was all over and the Canadians managed to advance into the Pocket they found a tragic scene of destruction and ethnic cleansing.

This week, Kate has some stories of mourning practices during pioneer times where things were more formality and social practices surrounding the loss of a loved one than today. But there was still room to let your hair down and engage in....antics. Plus, Paul has the history of beer brewing in Canada from a domestic kitchen staple that everyone including kids drank because you couldn't trust water to drink, to small local breweries with local ingredients, to industrial production. And now back to the past with the huge growth in local craft brewing.

This week, Kate has the story of a local doctor in pioneer Haliburton in the late 1800's. Plus Paul has the story of an American invasion of Canada in 1775, early in the Revolutionary War. It was a 2-prong attack, one led by Benedict Arnold, that had the goal to capture Quebec from the British. Part of the planning was the assumption that the French inhabitants would join them in a popular revolt against the British. The plan fell afoul of weather, geography, lack of supplies and the fact that the French inhabitants didn't rise up.

This week, Kate talks about early Haliburton Highlands Christmases plus Paul has 'Christmas on the edge of the world'. Early Hudson Bay trading posts wereisolated, snowbound, frozen places with the clerks, traders, and labourers far from home and their normal family-oriented festive traditions. So how did they adjust? They adapted in ways that created new northern Christmas traditions that have lasted to today.
