The 1973 Kenora Bank Robbery Explosion

/

On May 10, 1973, a stranger walked into a bank on Main Street in Kenora, Ontario, carrying guns, duffle bags, and a homemade bomb that was armed to a switch he clenched between his teeth. For more than an hour the standoff dragged on inside the bank as a growing crowd of onlookers crowded the street outside it’s doors.

At 4:12 p.m., a single rifle shot ended the robbery in an explosion that shattered windows, scattered money through the air, and erased the man at the center of it all.

More than fifty years later, his identity and his motives remain unknown.

In this episode of The Canadian Gothic, I’m joined by Jack Luna, host of the Dark Topic podcast, to examine the Kenora Bank Robbery Explosion.

the Hockey Canada Scandal (the 2018 Canadian World Junior Team)

/

In June 2018, following a Hockey Canada gala in London, Ontario, a young woman alleged she was sexually assaulted by members of Canada’s gold medal winning World Junior hockey team. The case was investigated and closed without charges, and the public remained unaware for years.

That changed in 2022, when a civil lawsuit and quiet settlement from the sport’s regulating body Hockey Canada exposed the allegations. The fallout triggered parliamentary hearings, sponsor withdrawals, leadership resignations, and a reopened criminal investigation that culminated in a high profile trial against five of the men involved, all now NHL players.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kristi Lee, host of Canadian True Crime, to walk through the full timeline of the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal and examine what it reveals about accountability, power, and trust in Canadian sport.
