Canada, As I See It Fireside Chat Club Of Canada
-
- Society & Culture
This is my view of Canada.
Several years ago, I began writing essays based on the Canadian facts and people described on a t-shirt that I had! I’ve taken these essays, added some historical facts and new discoveries and now present them as I am known to do by friends and family - as a tangent-laden, fireside chat story.
Please enjoy!

#35 - Totem poles and land acknowledgement
This week is a little different.Usually, my main subject makes up the bulk of the podcast, but for this episode, my tangent becomes the body. Both are equally important – both are there to educate and both are there to tell stories.

#33 - Milk in bags
Looking at Milk in bags today.
I didn't put it there – that's just how we purchase our consumable moo juice up here in Canada.
This is taken from an essay that I wrote about, back in August of 2020.
Spoiler alert:
we got our strawberries!

#31 - Tangential Meditation
It is no secret that I speak, travelling from one tangent to another.
I will often lose track of my own thoughts, because I've caught myself on a tangent. It's like going into a room, and forgetting why you are there. Welcome to my mind! Interestingly though, it doesn't really frustrate me – I just ride it like a wave – and this week, I ended up on a great memory.This week, I begin talking about a World War I battle and strategies, go through a remembrance, a haircut, a movie and end up thinking about bedtime stories.
