#39 - First Nations history in Ontario

Canada, As I See It ·

2024/07/21

Moving on up, and out in the world! Today, I am expanding on a subject that I spoke about a few weeks ago – AND it is due to someone who asked me about it from halfway around the world! This week, I look at the history of the First Nations people in the land we call Ontario. And of course, this opens up a library of books – quite literally.

#38 - McIntosh apples

Canada, As I See It ·

2024/07/14

I have a couple of important points to touch on this week.One is the obvious – it's in the title. The other is concerning the person introducing the show this week. Andrew Dundas is fighting a life battle with ALS – it is a disease that progressively paralyzes people because the brain is no longer able to communicate with the muscles of the body. He is looking to raise money and awareness to fight this. He has embarked on a “Virtual Mobility Challenge”. You can learn more about what he is doing

Weather, history and Christmas in July.(And yayyy, it looks like there will not be a problem uploading from the cottage!) Welcome to what purports to be summer in Canada. We have our days – it gets up to 30C – and MAY hit 40C (without the heat index!) But there are also those unsettled days where we can have sweater weather, umbrella weather, and Mother Nature's fireworks. Lots of exciting news this week.

Canada, As I See It ·

2024/06/23

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.

#31 - Tangential Meditation

Canada, As I See It ·

2024/06/02

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

Canada, As I See It ·

2024/05/05

This wasn't my original plan for what I was going to talk about this week, but sometimes, as they say – things just drop in your lap. Last week, I played a trivia game - AND I got to be on a local radio station! As fast as the world goes, even though it only happened 3 days ago – something about it is already dated.
