Love it or hate it, few foods spark as much debate as Hawaiian pizza. But here’s the kicker: it’s not Hawaiian at all...it’s Canadian. That’s right, pineapple-on-pizza was invented in Ontario in the 1960s by a Greek immigrant named Sam Panopoulos, and somehow it went on to divide the planet into Team Pineapple vs. Team Purist. In this episode of Canada is Boring, we chew over the bizarre origin story of Hawaiian pizza, why it’s Canada’s most controversial culinary export, and how one small-town restaurant ended up changing the global pizza conversation forever. Expect tangy history, saucy opinions, and maybe a few cheesy jokes along the way.

In this episode of Canada is Boring, we dive into the strange, stubborn, and slightly tragic life of Willard Kitchener MacDonald, better known as the Hermit of Gully Lake. Draft dodger? Freedom fighter? Just a guy who really, really hated small talk? For more than 60 years, Willard lived alone in the woods of Nova Scotia, no phone, no electricity, no Amazon Prime. We unpack how a man survives (and thrives) off-grid for decades and why he became a local legend.

In this episode, we spin the tale of Daniel Boria, Calgary’s self-styled “balloonatic.” Seeking promo gold for his cleaning business, he strapped over 100 helium balloons to a lawn chair, then soared above the Stampede grounds like something out of Up. His plan to parachute in fell apart fast, high winds blew him far off target and toward airport airspace. He reached an astonishing 14,000 feet before being arrested for “dangerous operation of an aircraft” and other infractions. A judge called the stunt “unconscionably stupid,” yet Boria shrugged it off, bragging that it would be “the greatest story to tell for the rest of my life”
