Canadaland is turning 10! In celebration, we’ve gone through our archive of over 1500 podcast episodes to bring you curated collections of stories that continue to resonate.

This is the third episode of our It Happened in Canada collection and episode 7 of COMMONS: Real Estate.

Eddy Haymour has been called a lot of things in his life. Immigrant success story. Kidnapper. Terrorist. Folk Hero.

But the long saga of Eddy Haymour is at its heart a story of obsession. About a man who became consumed by his dreams for a piece of land. And about a government equally determined to stop him at any cost.

Featured in this episode: Omar Mouallem, Greg Crompton
