  1. Randomly decided to listen to Ron Sexsmith's major label debut from 1995, knew basically nothing about him, but I've really enjoyed him. A mellow, introspective folk with little flashes of rock here and there. I would listen to more.

  2. How did Canadian housewives become “housesoldiers”? And can food actually win wars? Read on!

    We suggest you start with Jennifer Brady’s review of Ian Mosby’s first book, Food Will Win The War: The Politics, Culture and Science of Food (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2). Then, pair it with The Dorothy Perkins Canadian Garden Book.

    More questions ensue: How does one stake up one’s tomatoes? What are the benefits of a cold frame? And is Dorothy Perkins the author’s real name?

    Perkins teaches us how to be productionists in our own back garden on the heels of the first world war, while Mosby explores the whys and wherefores of household production in the second world war.

  3. I’m watching the Due South pilot for the second time ever. When talking about Fraser’s wolf Deifenbaker…

    “Two years ago, he jumped off an ice flow in the Prince Rupert sound and pulled me out. And his eardrums burst from the cold.”
    “Really? I didn’t know wolves saved lives.“
    “Well he doesn’t always.. I mean, he’ll save you if he sees you.”

    I love how Paul Gross and David Marciano deliver a joke. #Canadiana #90sTV #DueSouth

  4. #dogladysden #photographer A windy winter's day at the lake. These rock sculptures are a common sight along the shore. Inukshuks are made of stacked stones that stay up because they are balanced on each other. Every stone supports the one above and below it. Like snowflakes, they're all different. 🌊🪨🌊🪨🌊🪨🌊 #LakeOntario #Inukshuk #rocksculpture #windyday #bythelake #bythelakeside #Canadiana #CanadianTraditions #InuitArt #InuitSculpture #naturephotographyinstagram.com/p/CpgDRn2JdcU/?u #DogladysDen

  5. A request followed by a hashtag bomb. Can anyone recommend live folk music radio shows (world, Celtic, old-timey, Canadian, etc.)? I know about some prerecorded ones and about Folk Alley. The live ones I know about are Come by The Hills on Mushroom FM and Back Porch Music on WUNC. Any others? #Folkmusic #OldTimeyMusic #CelticMusic #Americana #Canadiana #BritishFolkMusic #AustralianFolkMusic #WorldFolkmusic #Acousticmusic #TradFolkMusic

  6. On the topic of #Toronto and the #TTC, down-home country songwriter Paul Stewart provides the soundtrack for a tribute to the Toronto Transit Commission
