Toronto's Dead Raccoon Vigil

Rhys and Jesse return to with one of the most delightfully absurd Canadian stories ever told: the 2015 Yonge Street dead raccoon memorial. What begins as a sad little scene on a Toronto sidewalk turns into a full-blown public vigil—complete with Post-it notes, roses, sympathy cards, candles, a Jesus candle, a collection box, and even a parody Twitter account. It’s internet weirdness, and heartfelt stupidity all rolled into one episode. For premium content, socials, merch, to leave a voicemail or message us go to canadaisboring.com Hosted on Acast.
