From the zipper to the pacemaker, peanut butter to IMAX, we’re spilling the maple syrup on the who, what, and WTF of Canadian ingenuity. 💡 Ever heard of Reginald Fessenden? No? He invented AM radio and broadcast a violin solo from a boat on Christmas Eve. You’re welcome, Spotify. 🏀 James Naismith invented basketball so kids wouldn’t fight inside. They still did, but now it’s a billion-dollar league. 🎞️ Canadians invented IMAX. Because regular movies weren’t loud, big, or nausea-inducing enough. 🧠 And yes, we talk about insulin, the paint roller, garbage bags, and why the Creeping Barrage isn’t a bad Tinder date — it’s a brilliant WWI strategy. We also dive into the Rolling Barrage, a coast-to-coast motorcycle ride raising awareness for PTSD — and clear up the confusion with that other convoy that definitely didn’t invent anything useful. 🍻 Sponsored By: Cold Garden This episode is proudly powered by Cold Garden, the dog-friendly psychedelic brew pub in Inglewood, Calgary.
