About this listen
This week - it's the first holiday weekend of the summer and it's called the May 24 weekend but it falls on May 19. Kate tries to clear up the confusion. Plus, the 1860's were a troubled time in Canada due to the Fenian crisis. And then Irish-Canadian politician D'Arcy McGee was assassinated. A person with Fenian leanings, Patrick James Whelan, was convicted and executed for the crime. But was he guilty?
