On Friday something really important, a fun thing, happens. Remember the book, Two Solitudes, by Hugh MacLennan? It's a great book. Homerun, which is a drive-home show in Montreal on CBC, is doing a remote from one of the Chapters bookstores, where Jay Baruchel, who is an actor in the U.S., is going to cross...we asked him and he said, yes, absolutely. They're going to talk about growing up as an anglophone in a francophone environment, in the same way that the Two Solitudes book was written 50 years ago.
We've had a “Canada Reads” week, and we've challenged people to reread that book and tell us, in 2013—on Friday—how they feel about growing up in English, if they're an anglophone, à Montréal, or in French
in an anglophone environment.
