And now that we've been firmly back in Canada for a week, it was only right that the weariness that we gained on the trip, should now catch up to us. Join me this week, as I recuperate from a cold, for an “extra-low” voice edition of Canada, as I see it.

This week I'm looking at Orange Shirt Day, also known as the Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

I mention a couple of addresses in the pod.

I'd like to know how you're listening to me. Are you using Podbean's app? Do you listen from my site (whorpole.ca)? Or do you use one of the many podcast platforms that you can listen to this podcast on. I encourage you to contact me at AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca – and let me know - 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!”

Don't forget - tell someone about the podcast, and let them know to contact me at the address below. Let me know their name in an email to me, and if they contact me, I will mention both of you in a future podcast.

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”.

Send it via Facebook Messenger, or by email to: AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca
