Unapologetically Canadian

Friends across borders: Richard Davidson talks about the death of Leo Brent Gunning in Vietnam fifty years ago after organizing a commemoration in Potsdam, New York with Gunning's sister, Colleen Taylor. For more info, refer to https://traceyarial.com/blog/friends-across-borders/.

Montreal writer, teacher and translator Sherry Simon studies how shifts in language express a city's constantly-changing culture. For more information, refer to my post about our discussion at https://traceyarial.com/blog/sherry-simon/.

This conversation with Brian Perron, the leader behind Verdun’s Church of the Epiphany comes from my archives. Loved Brian’s definition of being Canadian: “Freedom, the chance to do what we want and the chance to make something of ourselves and bring other people along.” For more information, refer to the show notes at: https://traceyarial.com/blog/brian_perron/. Note: Since this episode aired, Brian has moved to St-Barnabas Anglican Church in Saint Lambert.

I spoke with David about building community roots and being accepted for who he is. You can read the transcript at https://traceyarial.com/blog/david-lefneski/.

A Canadian identity reflects an essential part of who I am. To me, being Canadian means to live a seasonal (we have eight different seasons), free and abundant life. For the show notes, visit https://traceyarial.com/blog/seasonal-free-and-abundant/.
