Then the WWII internment of Japanese Canadians changed everything. His first guest, Trevor Takasaki, returned to live and work in Maple Ridge where his father was born but never got a chance to stay because of the mounting racism before and after the war. Trevor is a teacher and president of the Maple Ridge Teachers Association.  He shares some profound insights on Canadian identity, systemic racism toward indigenous peoples and how cultural diversity is a critical factor in teaching kids to work harmoniously with others.
Music is the universal language of mankind. Christian's second guest is Maple Ridge singer-songwriter Anna Hendry, who records and performs as Anna Isobella <3. After a brief chat, Anna plays her original tune Or So I Thought as well as a cover of Fleetwood Mac's  Dreams. Her cover of Mac Demarco's catchy tune, Let My Baby Stay, takes us out.
