A&W is clearly the dominant culture of Canada. It’s hard to believe, we know, but as we journey from place to place, it is without doubt that we have discovered the truth: A&W is the most full expression of modern Canadian culture. As the years drag on, and time lapses, Tim Hortons has been overcome by the true fast food chain. Across every town, every city, and in every corner, it’s almost guaranteed that there will be an A&W waiting for you.

We have travelled massive distances since we last updated you— we were in Regina last week, but now? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out. We’ve seen the greatest of Canadian cultures, and the depth of the people around us, but we have questions. Isaac ponders about the logistics and practicality of such a large nation, where Jay thinks that the nation is united nonetheless. He recounts his time reading through a book about city planning, and how poor a job Canadian cities have done to create street culture. Instead… well, read the first paragraph.

In this lighthearted episode, we go into our ideas of the future book about this project, and lament that maybe we’ve done a poor job selling this project as much as we could have. Listen now to hear all this, and more!
