We're two queer persons reviewing the Heritage Minutes we have been subjected to since childhood plus whatever else Canadian or not we decide to chat about. Hosted by Tamarack (they/them/it/its) and Heather (she/they), we aim to watch all of the Heritage Minutes and elaborate on the subject they present since hey, do you think you'll actually learn anything substantial from a single minute TV bite?

(UNLOCKED) Episode 23 - A Canadian Pirate and the Queen
(Originally released on April 30, 2025)
Frank Ney. That name is infamous in British Columbia politics not because of his real estate efforts but because of how he as mayor put on a pirate persona and ruled over the lands of Nanaimo for over two decades. His terror led to forcing people to race boats made out of bathtubs with meagre engines between Vancouver Island and the City of Vancouver.
In this episode, we're talking about the world famous bathtub races. That's right. Bathtub racing. It's real, it's a thing, and despite this being a spoiler, nobody has ever died doing it.

(UNLOCKED) Episode 20 - Hazed and Concussed in Argentina (ft. Aoife)
(Originally released January 29, 2025)
Wipeout Canada! A single-season hallowed tradition. An entire television show was premiered on extended cable in 2011 showcasing Canadians being forced into near concussions and vomiting by running around on a hazardous endurance course. We watched three episodes of this show so you don't have to.

(UNLOCKED) Episode 13 - Timbits are kind of screwed up when you think about it
(Originally released on October 16, 2024)
Tim Hortons! The Canadian cultural icon that has managed to spread its tentacles worldwide has an origin in scams and treachery from a man who wasn't even named Tim at all in his life. Here we will complain about a lack of menued vegetarian food options, the discontinuation of bread bowls, and a theatre play with an awful story.
