So, dear reader, I have another movie recommendation for you tonight.

Even though he is just five years younger, Douglas Coupland seems to be from another time entirely.
Yet his highly personal "Souvenir of Canada" rings true to me and to every other generation in the movie theatre tonight.

He makes the journey to discover his country mesh with the journey to discover himself, and even if that sounds all too cliche, and it is, the movie works as a piece of witty and reflective art.

Song for the day is from the movie.
"Stars and Sons" : Broken Social Scene

the little fellow at the top of the blog is Ookpik.
In 1966 some Canadian committee wanted Ookpik to become a uniquely Canadian symbol.
