Reggie's Ramblings on Canada's 100th Birthday Echoes
Reg Reg hones nostalgic memories of Canada’s centennial era from early telephone links between Montreal and the north to Winnipeg radio hockey broadcasts. He recalls a Wynona shower with Linda Thompson as guest of honour and the Wynona Ladies' Club organizing events. He riffs on public figures, history debates, crime policy, lingering Cold War chatter, and light political commentary, finishing with a note on Vancouver hippie banishment.
