INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO

Saint John is known for its love of hard beverages, so it is no wonder the city was quick to get behind bootlegging, rum-running and drinking during prohibition in New Brunswick (1917-1927) and supplying the Americans during their prohibition (1920-1933). 

In this episode, we are joined by guest co-host, Valerie Emerson, to discuss all the ways the city entered the illicit liquor trade and conducted business. As well, we discuss the evolution of the temperance movement and the social ills caused not only by alcohol abuse, but by prohibition itself. Ultimately, the “noble experiment” failed, but not before ushering in many societal and cultural changes: some good, some not so good.
