KEEP CANADA WEIRD - 181 - 2025/09/27 - a tunnel, idling cars, Doug Ford's ice cream, and continued bannings

In 2006, a construction crew in Saskatoon unearthed a barrel hidden in an abandoned well, containing the preserved remains of a young woman murdered a century earlier. For nearly twenty years she was known only as The Woman in the Well, as police tried facial reconstructions, DNA testing, and countless appeals for clues. With the help of investigative genetic genealogy, her identity has finally been revealed: Alice Spence, a seamstress, wife, and mother. This episode of Canadian Gothic traces Alice’s life, her erasure, and the modern science that brought her back into memory.

In July 1996, Blair Adams left his home in Surrey, British Columbia, convinced someone was trying to kill him. Over the course of just a few days, he emptied his savings and safety deposit box, attempted to cross the U.S. border multiple times, and made a frantic, illogical journey that ultimately led him to Knoxville, Tennessee — a city where he had no known ties. There, his body was discovered in a construction site parking lot under bizarre circumstances: his pants had been forcibly removed, his socks were turned inside out, and thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, and jewelry were scattered around him, untouched. In this episode, we retrace Blair’s final days, follow his chaotic path across borders and states, and examine the theories surrounding one of the strangest unsolved mysteries of the 1990s. Was Blair fleeing someone real — or something only he believed in?

On August 9, 1975, 20-year-old Jane Smith vanished from her Sudbury apartment without a trace. Fifty years later, her family is still living with the pain of not knowing what happened. In this episode, I speak with two people at the center of this decades-old mystery: Jane’s younger brother, John Smith, and his daughter, Katie. John shares what it was like to lose his sister and how her disappearance has shaped his family’s lives over the past half-century. Katie, who never met her aunt, has taken on a different role... part investigator, part advocate... working to keep Jane’s story alive and urging anyone who knows the truth to come forward before it’s too late.

In this episode we catch up with the strange saga of Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada.” In previous episodes, we’ve traced her bizarre rise from a Victoria, BC boarding house to her group’s nearly two year long occupation of an abandoned school in the tiny community of Richmound, Saskatchewan. Despite countless efforts to remove them, form the village of just over 100 residents nothing worked—until now. This past week brought a game-changing turn: not only was the group forced out of the school, but Romana Didulo and the building’s owner both found themselves behind bars. To unpack these developments, Tom from OwlNews.ca will join us as we discuss the arrest, release, and rearrest of “Queen” Romana Didulo.

Ten years ago today the first episode of Nighttime was released, telling the story of a UFO sighting over Cape Breton Island. In the decade since, Nighttime has produced over a thousand episodes, covered stories from nearly every corner of the country, been heard around the world, but… it’s also begun to show it’s age. As Nighttime toiled away podcasting has changed dramatically; the rise of celebrity-hosted shows, podcasts as video, the rise and fall of countless platforms, and many other factors which have reshaped the medium and led to Nighttime feeling like the product of a by-gone era. Ten years after it started, It’s time to say good night to Nighttime! but this isn’t a goodbye Its hosts, its contributors, its active series (like Keep Canada Weird) aren’t going anywhere. The podcast feeds, the social media pages, and related landing pads will be updated to serve as home for a new show that will be similar in style and spirit, but better equipped to tell Canada’s most fascinating stories for the next decade and beyond. the next chapter is… the Canadian Gothic Learn more about your ad choices.
