S2E3: The Munsinger Affair

The Munsinger Affair traces its roots to the Cold War era when the Western world was gripped by ideological tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. In the midst of this international climate, the Canadian government, led by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, faced an unexpected storm that would test its integrity and leadership. In 1961, Gerda Munsinger, a German immigrant, and former call girl, came to public attention as allegations of espionage, prostitution, and potential compromise of national security emerged.

S2E2: King-Byng Affair

On this episode, we’re covering the King-Byng Affair, also known as the King-Byng Wing Ding which I kind of like better. The King-Byng affair involved Prime Minister William Lion Mackenzie King and Governor General, Julian Byng. Have you ever wondered what the heck the governor-general does? Or what the longest-serving Prime Minister in Canada got up to over the course of his tenure? Well, I’ve got answers! More scandal! More illicit activity! And even more drunken follies!

Will the railway get built? What a cliffhanger! Join me as we explore Canada’s first major political scandal as a freshly minted, lil’ bébé of a country!
