In this dense episode tackling this NFB Canadian classic, James Thornton and Andrew Hunter Scholey cover (checks notes).... The historical log drivers and their importance in Canada's development as a country; the song's composer Wade Hemsworth and his influence on Canadian music; the 60's Montreal folk scene; Quebec separatism and the 1980 referendum; the film's animator and director John Weldon and his prolific career; the Canada Vignettes and their role in the NFB but also Canadian identity; and finally (*breathe...*) what do they finally have to say about the film itself?
