Canadiana From scandalous love triangles to secret experiments, from rebels and freedom fighters to pirates and spies, we uncover the fascinating and the unexpected. This isn't the history you learned in school.

Death, Scandal & The Toronto Islands... I'm offering a new walking tour in a couple of weeks! It'll be filled with dramatic tales of shipwrecks, bootleggers, disaster and murder. Hope to see you there!

The Skandi Vinland joined the search for the missing sub this week. We saw it while shooting @ThisIsCanadiana in St. John’s — docked right outside my hotel window & sailed past Signal Hill while we were filming. It has two remotely operated vehicles to help with the search.

This summer, the Island marks 150 years as a Canadian province - next week we unveil our new exhibit about the Island's century and half in Confederation - come join us and check it out!
