Canadian,
eh?
These
pages are devoted to people, news, animals, items of interest,
fun sites, FAQ's, tidbits,
business
links, music, products, places - all related in some way
to Canada!
'Canadian,
eh?' is dedicated to my father, William Jackson McCrostie,
who so loved Canada.
From
the time I can remember, he read me poems about the Canadian north,
told me stories about Canadian politicians, businesses, stores,
products, architecture, and geography.
He
felt such great pride the very first day the Toronto subway opened
and
also that city's beautiful new City Hall. Enjoy!
Lots
more to come!

Those
of you
who know me well, know that I am dotty over ladybugs and live
with a seasonal population that numbers more than 200 at times.
Well here is an amazing 10 year-old girl, Hannah, who also loves
these cheerful creatures. But what she loves even more are the
homeless people she has come to know. Those
of us who are creative, artistic types are often particularly
aware of just what an issue housing is in this country.
Well here is something concrete we can all do to help.
Meet
Hannah
and discover her passion for helping
