I listened to one the other day as I was out walking about the Halifax explosion during WWI and the three presenters were discussing why Canada was even in the war. That was annoying but I got angry when one said: we followed America was into WWI like we follow them everywhere including WWII. Fact is, we were in both wars well before the U.S. entered. It was an ignorant comment and I felt if they’re going to delve into history they should get their facts straight.

I really enjoy
https://ourfakehistory.com/ a canadian guy and a really enjoyable take on some common and uncommon historical events. (despite the title, this is a skeptical/evidence-based look on the past)
For true crime, i've enjoyed true-crime bulls### (
https://www.our-americana.com/tcb) which is a super in-depth look at Israel Keyes's crimes. Nancy Hixt's CrimeBeat
https://curiouscast.ca/podcast/398/crime-beat/ is also very good and has additional interest for locals as it deals mainly with YYC based crime and cases.
https://darkpoutine.com/ is canadian based true crime and also worth a listen if you like this kind of stuff.
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/uncover Is a good investigative journalism series as well. Reminds me a bit of Serial.
