  • Summary

  • This week, tells the story of making the most of winter in the Highlands and how in the 1960's and 70's there was a huge winter festival, including the festival's mascot - ToquePic. Plus, Canadians tend to downplay our history and it often seems to pale when compared to our colleagues from south of the border in the US. It may surprise our listeners to hear that Canada had its share of great train robberies in the late 1800's and early 1900's featuring dramatic heists, man-hunts, and shootouts.
