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. Let me know if you picked up on how!
And, if you have a topic idea, or a question you would like to ask me. I encourage you to send them to me at AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca – I'll mention you on the show (unless you don't want me to) – and you'll forever be able to say, “I got James to say my name, way back before he was a super celebrity!”

Thanks go to CHFI hosts Pooja Handa, Gurdeep Ahluwalia, and their producer “Boss-Man” Blair Bartrem – for putting me on the show, and getting me a copy of the event.If YOU want to be a part of MY podcast,send me a recording of you saying,“This podcast is produced by the Fireside Chat Club of Canada”.

I wouldn't call this podcast a humorous one, but you can always expect me to be landing on the lighter side of subjects more often or not.
This week however, the topic is serious.Join me, as I chat about the Day of Mourning.

This week, I'm trying another remote test.I'm not only not at home, but not even on the Canadian side of the border.
So, are the facts going to be on-side or off-side?
A little bit of both...I have a couple of DEFINITELY Canadian facts,
and a few that well, really aren't.

History, as seen from a t-shirt
I have written a lot, especially over the last few years. In 2020, working from home, I began telling everyone about my t-shirts. It was something to do - because I didn't have to commute 90 minutes a day!
The last shirt in that series had a stylized Canadian flag with over 200 people and facts on it.
THAT was my next project.
And that is how you find yourselves here.
Join me, and let's look at
Canada, as I see it.
