RMR: Rick and Lobster Fishing

 Lobsters!

The Sweater National Film Board of Canada (1980)

 Though this is set in Quebec, it would fit most Canadian and Maritimer town.

Bluenose II - Planking

 Part of the restoration project of the Bluenose II but since many of the men who used to build these are gone, it has taken a new generation to learn the old trades, and the restoration is way behind schedule.

Canada Vignettes - Bluenose 1921-1946

 Part of Nova Scotian and Maritime pride.

Prince of Wales Fort in Churchill - Manitoba, Canada

A good idea of how we should obey the rules of the road, and drive safely!

 a beautiful Gaelic ballad sung by the surviving members of the Rankin Family. Sadly, another member, I believe Cookie tragically died of Cancer.

The Rankin Family_Fiddle Medley

 A good tune in memory of the fiddler of the Rankin Family who was tragically killed in a car accident in 1999.

Gaelic Medley - The Rankin Family

 Another of my favorite Cape Breton groups, The Rankin Family. This groups was really big from the late 1980s up to the late 90s. Unfortunately, two of the members have passed away, one in a car accident and the other from Cancer.

Darling Be Home Soon

 One of my favorite Cape Breton groups, The Barra MacNeils.

This tune was very popular back in the mid 90s.

Canadian Thanksgiving 2014 in Japan

This is one of those holidays which makes me homesick, so I am doing something about that.

Today we are having pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes with bbq chicken, bread and cheese, washed down with tea and coffee.

 A bit of Maritimer pub food, a plate of Onion Rings and Fries, and Shake N Bake BBQ Chicken

Nickelback - Edge Of A Revolution (Main Version)

 The main version. Nice to see a rock band trying to engage the younger generation as to the current situation of the world.

More food from home: Bacon butty as inspired by the Canadian Bacon cookhouse, Halifax, Nova Scotia

 Ian and Leena enjoying my version of a bacon butty. I fried up some back bacon, a sausage patty and put a slice of colby jack cheese on a plain bagel for them.

Mine I jazzed up with peanut butter!
