Welcome to Canadian True Crime, a new podcast that will take you on a journey through Canada's

most notorious murder stories and some of the lesser known ones too.

Canada has a reputation for being a peaceful and liberal country with citizens that are nice, polite and friendly.

But dig a little deeper and you'll find that the average Canadian is much more of a stereotype than reality.

Because aside from its Aboriginal population, Canada is essentially a country of immigrants with a diverse cultural and racial mix.

It doesn't just boil those cultures down into a universal melting pot like a pile of brown sludge.

Instead, Canada is more like a cultural mosaic that emphasises the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the people who call the country home.

As with any country or group of people, there are always a mix of temperaments and personalities. People are people.

As for me, I'm one of those Canadian immigrants and Aussie True Crime fanatic.

I've lived in the Greater Toronto area for many years and I'm a proud Canadian citizen.

Although I'm an expert at listening to podcasts, unfortunately for you, I'm a total novice when it comes to producing them.

This recording is currently being brought to you from the floor of my walk-in wardrobe where I have my laptop and mic balancing on a laundry basket.

So please bear with me, this will get better, I promise.

The Canadian True Crime podcast will tell a range of stories including those that are well known to people outside Canada

and will also feature lesser known stories that you've probably never heard of.

Stay tuned for episode one of the Canadian True Crime podcast, Paul Bernardo and Carla Humolker.

You can follow the podcast on Facebook or Instagram just by searching for Canadian True Crime.

I'd love to hear all your feedback including any story suggestions you might have.
