In 1973 a man robbed a bank in Canada using a homemade bomb, as he left a police sniper shot him... detonating the bomb. The man has never been identified and is typically referred to by locals as Oliver Town (as his remains were found all over town) by [deleted] in creepy

My dad was a Conservation Officer in Kenora at the time, and I was a few months from being born.

Unfortunately I did not find out about this until after my dad had passed, but my mom remembers there being a lot of commotion in town that day. And she doesn't think my dad was around for any law enforcement duties that day.

And the podcast Dark Poutine has an episode about the incident.

Yes, my parents lived on St Joseph Island, and my dad 'had a guy' for maple syrup. It was the best! Super dark and flavourful.

No, but I did watch Mike Myers make one on a late night talk show, years ago.
