A trip inside Vancouver Island's dark history

Laura Palmer has been investigating and reporting on crimes on Vancouver Island for years. It's changed the way she sees one of Canada's most gorgeous places, and made her something of a local celebrity. But she's never dug into a case as old as the one she's chasing on her current season of Island Crime. In this episode, Laura (one of the founders of this podcast) takes us inside what it's like to be something of a public detective, how chasing crimes changes the way you see your own hometown, and who a cold case file belongs to several decades later. We also revisit the 'Elbows Up' days, and discuss how we're feeling about Canadian sovereignty more than a year later, in this special reunion episode of CanCon.
