Summary

This is Episode 004 of Dark Poutine. Here we present The Halifax Explosion, in honour of the 100th annoversary of the disaster.

0:00.0	Hey Mike here, I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Dark Poutine early and
0:04.7	add free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. You're about to listen to a historical episode
0:10.8	of Dark Poutine. After episode 149, you will find Scott is no longer with the show.
0:16.9	In an effort to maintain continuity and offer listeners as many episodes as possible,
0:22.1	we are leaving the episodes in which he co-hosted intact. Thank you.
0:30.9	Welcome to Dark Poutine, a podcast covering Canada's creepier side. My name is Mike Brown,
0:39.2	creator and host. With me is my good friend co-host and oddly miniature sound engineer,

1:33.6	it's time to scarf down some dark poutine.
1:57.6	In this episode, we dive into a dark historical subject. We're a boat to mark the anniversary of a
2:15.4	devastating event that took place on December 6th. Our American listeners who are paying attention in
2:20.8	history class will immediately recognize December 6th as the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor
2:27.3	by Japanese Imperial forces in 1941. Although horrific, that's not what we'll be talking about today.
2:34.4	We're heading east to the city I was born in. This episode's topic is the Helifex Explosion,
