Listen "Marilyn Monroe in Haliburton County? Plus, Canada's First Major Political Scandal"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Kate talks about a picture of Marilyn Monroe featured on the front page of the April 17, 1952 Haliburton Echo newspaper. She was filming the movie 'Niagara' at Niagara Falls at the time. Was it possible she was heading for the Highlands? Plus, Paul talks about the story behind Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and the first major Canadian political scandal - the 1873 Pacific Scandal - that saw him resign from office and the Conservative Party defeated in the subsequent election.
