The House of Commons is a staid, formal institution. Right? It's been that way for well over a century. Gentlemen (and eventually Gentlewomen) debating important issues in a dignified manner? Not always.

The real history of our halls of power includes exploding protesters, lots of cats and nudity and myriad other strange situations that crop up when flawed people hold power, public citizens protest and everyone pushes for their own proposals.

On this special Canada Day episode, we're joined by Charlie Feldman, author of Unparliamentary: Tales from Canada's colourful Parliamentary past. He shows us exactly how wild it's been at times on Parliament Hill, and how all of that comes together to make us who we are.

Please show some love to our sponsor, Go RVing Canada, if you're thinking of getting out and exploring this massive country this summer.

Feedback from listeners is so, so welcome. If you have something to say, email us: hello.cancon@gmail.com.
