Hiatus continues. But……
Interesting flashback series.
CPAC’s “The Fifties” is a nine part series of the (middle of last century) history of Canada.
Here is Holly Doan to describe the series:

And here is the first episode, called “The Young”:

All of us old timers remember all of this – consciously or not. I was 6 years old in 1955.
Incredible series if this first and the second segment is indicative. A glimpse at how your beliefs and cultural foundations were formed.
From a personal perspective, I remember Marilyn Bell’s accomplishment – I was 5 years old when it happened. I remember hurricane Hazel. I remember!
The second and subsequent segments are here:

Take the time to watch.
I will stifle my jaundiced political perspective ’til later…..
