Hi Charlie, great read. Thank you. I am an OG Northern Ontario resident from the farming / fence and guide rail community, and in fact lived beside your dairy farming buddy John V until my folks moved back to their roots in the early 80;s. I moved to NS in 2017 after being priced out of the Ontario housing market, and am now very worried for the Bluenosers here with Tim Houston at the helm and showing disturbing signs of a wannbe dictator. Going to hell in a hand bucket comes to mind with the lobster industry expecting the 25% China tariff and an additional 25% tariff to follow from the Trump dictator. Our Auditor General had to fight for her job, democracy and the voices for all Nova Scotians with bill 1. Too many are dying while waiting for healthcare, some of the highest regions of poverty in Canada, unaffordable housing, lack of jobs and far too many shady back door deals that your collegue Claudia Chender was wise to expose.
Keep on rocking in the free world and spreading the good word Charlie. Hope to see you soon in a one on one interview on 22 minutes with Mark Critch. My second news source outside of the CBC.
Stand the Gaff. Sounds like a movement Charlie. Where do we signup!?
Heard Hanging Songs for the 1st time today. It's some "shitkickin" stuff. Just great "Americana"
John Prines "Paradise" comes to mind. Story songs rock & so does The Greivous Angels Band.
Whether ya like it not we still share this great Continent. Mexico & all thier Southern neighbors to the Souh pole are All Americans. Sorry for US but we're not exclusive here we share almost half the world from pole to pole. We should care for it all together right?
Canadas love for Ukraine is outstanding and just another example of your country's truth out there for the world to see. I do mean an example to US. Thankyou from an ol American Booma.💙🇨🇦☮
Thank you again Charlie. You have reminded me how strong my mother was. She worked as a "Bomb girl" in Ajax, Ontario while my dad and two of her brothers fought in Europe and her younger sister (because she was underage) used mom's birth certificate to join the WAC's during WWII. They were the greatest generation.
As a young kid in Cobalt, my father and other relatives being miners used to tell us stories of the Silver Miller..the north is dotted with these types of stories..it makes us who we are.

Excellent historic examples of strong women for International Women's Day. Thanks you for this.
Thank you for sharing such a incredible tale.
Awesome
I used to work
In vtown underground as a young man
As always thank you
Thank you for making me smarter! You are amazing
Thanks for your reply Mr. Angus.
My husband and I use to listen to your band & have the album with Crossing the Causeway on it. I loved that song.
We certainly enjoyed your band back in the day. Such a small world.
I left Cape Breton for Ottawa about a year after that disaster. I only planned to stay away for 6 months, but Im still in Ontario .
Cape Breton will always be a part of me . Visit 1-2 times a year, never missed in 44 years.
I enjoy your posts and will even more knowing your connection to Cape Breton.
My Dad was a loyal NDP supporter.
On another note,
I looked after Tommy Douglas the year I started working at the Ottawa Civic hospital in 1981.
He didn’t have a private room, was on a ward.
Such a humble, gentle man.
His wife reminded me of my Mum …..great memory.
All the best to you,
Annadeane
Thanks Charlie. That is a bit of our history that I didn't know.
Thanks for the nod to your female ancestors Charlie. Great stories and great women indeed. Happy International Women’s Day brother.
My parents were part of the Ukrainian contingent in Timmins/South Porcupine.
On another note, good luck to you and the NDP in the coming federal election.
