Spuds - After a while, after you savour the oilcloth-covered table and the clay pipe and the nest of boots and the wooden, wired slops bucket, your eyes go to the hand on the far right. A woman's hand, perhaps? If so, why is the man peeling the potatoes?

Looking for a bit of Canadian history?
The magazine "Canada's History" is a good place to start, and they have recently launched a new version of their website.
First-time visitors will note that the website features sections that include "Trading Post", "Online Extension", and "Album".
The "Trading Post" area features pieces on the Hudson's Bay Company culled from its own
in-house magazine, "The Beaver". Here visitors will learn about Inuit art, Cree moccasins, and Fort Garry tea.
In the "Online Extension" area, visitors can view rich multimedia features on marine archaeology in Nunavut and the prominent artist Aba Bayefsky.
Finally, the "Album" area features photos submitted by readers from their own personal collections, complete with annotations and explanations of their importance. [KMG]
