  • Summary

  • This week, Kate tells us the story of the Canadian Land & Immigration Company's promise to provide early settlers with certain amenities to ease their transition. One of those was the Company Store. Plus, on the 80th Anniversary of D-Day (as of today's recording), Paul recounts how a scrapy army of young largely untested Canadian soldiers were assigned a significant role to invade Normandy on D-Day. The allies landed on 6 sites on the coast of France - Canada's objective was an 8 kilometre stretch code named Juno Beach. And they punched way above their weight!
