#63 - The Whorpole Family

And now, you are about to get the REST of the story.
Last week, I spoke of my mother's side of the family – this week, it's my father's side.
And, although not as deep in data – it does have quite a few stories and tangents.Of COURSE it has tangents – do you forget who you are listening to? After hearing today's podcast, you'll have a deeper understanding of how and why I have such a desire to talk of all things Canadian.
 
Check out more on this side of the family at https://whorpole.ca – as with everything I do – things are always in flux, and I really want to build it up, as I have on https://mifflin.ca

#61 - Québec

This episode is about Canada's largest province. We took a bus tour to Québec to experience some of their European Christmas markets. It was a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely encourage you to check it out. And, as an added bonus, there's a bit of a history lesson. The best part? There is no exam after the show.

#60 - The CN Tower

When my wife Caroline was just out of college, and looking for a job, her mother said to "aim high".
It didn't take long before she returned home with a job offer from the CN Tower restaurant, the "Top of Toronto". Caroline turned to her mother and said..."is this high enough for you?" True story.To this day, it remains the definitive landmark on the City of Toronto lakeshore, and a place I drive by every day of the week. Join me as I dig into the details of the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere – the CN Tower.
