A Woman's Story From Early Haliburton County plus The Demise of Capital Punishment in Canada

There's not a lot of individual in-depth pioneer women's stories from pioneer times. Well, this week Kate talks about the story of Katherine Allcorn in Haliburton County from around the end of the 1800's - and interestingly a butter discussion breaks out between our hosts. Plus, Paul talks about the evolution of capital punishment in Canada, its slow demise, and the last two convicted murderers hung in Canada in 1962.
