Fluorescent Lights: North York

Fishing Rods Dept: It s the early 80s and my dad says this as we hover under the fluorescent lights, in a narrow aisle somewhere between the fishing rods and the propane stoves, deep inside the bowels of a Canadian Tire store in North York, according to The Star. I still remember my dad staring at the display of gloves with bemused curiosity. One of his hands is on my shoulder. The other is scratching his forehead. I can still hear him reading aloud from the gloves themselves and this must be the right place. Our mission on this Saturday morning is to find a baseball glove for my first season of little league. Our mission is to be Canadian. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
