Oh Bob! Thanks for pointing me to this website containing every episode of perhaps the most significant Canadian television series ever produced. That’s right: Hinterland Who’s Who. In the 1960s and 1970s there were two major changes in Canadian society. First, more and more of the country was becoming urbanized and fewer people had experiences with the creatures of the wilderness. This was resulting in Canadians losing touch with the wildlife that was supposed to be one of our defining features. THe other major trend was the spread of television. As Canada is a very very big country, we pioneered …

Now I know the blogosphere is supposed to be powerful, but what do we make of this? One day after I post my letter to Starbucks on this weblog I get another letter from “Michael,” the bot that runs the “Customer Relations” email service at Starbucks (I’d post a link to that critical department of the company, but they don’t have a website): Dear Mr. Corrigan: Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company. Here is the latest news for your weblog. Starbucks Coffee Company and Haida Bucks Caf� have recently resolved their trademark dispute. Whenever trademark confusion arises, it is …

I have been supporting HaidaBucks in Masset BC. They are being threatened with legal action by Starbucks. I wrote to Starbucks telling them that I thought they should lay off. Michael, from Customer Relations, wrote me back. Here is my reply to his note, with some html added: Dear Michael: Okay…replying to a form letter may be the height of folly, but I’ll be sure to post this correspondence on my weblog at https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot so it doesn’t seem like I’m completely tilting at windmills… > Dear Mr. Corrigan: > > Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company. Thank you for …

Yesterday I was walking with my two year old son. We were coming home from the coffee shop where we had been drinking coffee (me) and apple juice (him). A propos of nothing he looked up at me and said: “Is that your tea cup shirt?” I was wearing a t-shirt with a South African cricket logo on it. “Uh, no,” I said. “Is it your water shirt?” “No.” He looked perplexed. “Is it a coffee shirt?” “No.” Then I got it. “Ah Finn,” I said. “It’s a t-shirt, not a tea shirt.” “Oh right,” he said. ” A t-shirt.” …
