About this episode
This episode explores Valentine's Day in Canada, contrasting it with other countries' traditions and featuring insights from Kate Butler on pioneer love.
This week, it's an all-Valentine's episode. Kate has love in the pioneer Highlands while Paul has a a light look at how Canadians have tended to have a more laid-back attitude about Valentine's Day then maybe some other countries where it's seen as a time to make grander more extravagant demonstrations of affection. Maybe it's the influence of our British origins? Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum.
