I love this sort of obscure 'knowledge'.

Kitchener Ontario: Our local paper 'the Record' carried a story about black widows found in grapes sold to a day care.

Brantford Ontario: The Guiness Book Of Records claims that the greatest theft in history was perpetrated by NAZI leaders towards the end of WWII when the German Gold reserve went missing. The only place any of this has been found is Brantford Ontario. Now this is prior to knowledge of the Swiss collaboration with Germany.

Toronto Dundas&Cawthra : A small church bears the plaque 'The Site of Buffalo Bill Cody's baptism'

From a CBC interview: The last resting place of the only surviving member of Custer's Regiment is in ALBERTA Canada. The story is that he was with a delayed supply train that never got to little big horn, retired and settled in Alberta where he died of natural causes.
