"Canada, in Person.
Meeting the People
Who Make a Country"

captured in their bilingual (EN/IT) Substack newsletter Canadiensis. Letters from Canada. Through encounters with artists, farmers, newcomers, elders, and
community leaders, they offer a mosaic of contemporary Canada and the people who shape its present and future – https://canadiensis.substack.com
