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.
