What is the point of CanCon if we don’t have a mini series on Farley Mowatt’s service in the Italian Campaign?

One of Canada’s most beloved authors. he wrote a novel and a memoir on his experience

good lord, they still publish Highlights? People my age would have got that reference, but I can't imagine anyone under 30 getting it.

IMO, if you want to 'see' the Fitz, the best place is Fitzgerald Lookout in Pancake Bay Provincial Park. About 3 weeks ago was the best time: www.alltrails.com/trail/canada...

A colleague of mine with a Ukranian last name includes a link to a service in her signature. When you click the link it plays a short clip of her speaking her name.
