It was the first book of Davies’s Deptford Trilogy, which also includes The Manticore (1972) and World of Wonders (1975).

Filipino Food in Canada

According to the 2021 census, there were over 925,000 Filipino Canadians in Canada. That year, the Philippines was also the second most common country of birth among people who moved to Canada. (See Immigration to Canada.) As a result, Filipino food is an emerging cuisine in Canada. However, it’s underrepresented in Canada’s diverse food landscape compared to other Asian cuisines. (See also: Chinese Food in Canada; Indian Food in Canada.) Filipino cuisine is made up of multiple food traditions. It combines Indigenous Austronesian food practices with other overseas traditions. Notably, the Philippines' colonial past led to Spanish and American culinary influences. Mexican, Chinese and other international influences also shaped Filipino food because of trade or as indirect results of colonialism. The Philippines is a very diverse country, which is also reflected in Filipino cuisine. See also Popular Filipino Dishes in Canada.

Film Distribution in Canada

Film distribution is one of the three main branches of the film industry. It provides the link between film production and exhibition. It is also the most profitable of the three sectors and is dominated by large multinational conglomerates. Film distribution companies supply movies, television programs, videos and new media to outlets such as cinemas and broadcasters. They do so in territories where they have acquired rights from the producers. Traditionally, distribution companies are the prime source for financing new productions. The distribution sector has been called “the invisible art.” Its practices tend to only concern industry insiders and go unnoticed by audiences. American companies dominate film distribution in Canada. They have controlled access to Canadian screens since the 1920s. (See also: Canadian Film History: 1896 to 1938.)

Folklore

Folklore was first introduced as a term in England in 1846 and today refers to information, wisdom and human expression that is passed on, usually anonymously, from generation to generation or transmitted and circulated as traditional cultural behaviour. Folkloric materials can be found anywhere and in any form, although past scholarship has favoured verbal folklore or oral literature: folk songs, folktales, epic, myth, legend, folk drama, riddles, proverbs, sayings and a variety of verses. Nonverbal folklore includes material culture such as folk architecture, folk art and crafts, dance, music, custom, ritual and belief, traditional folkways and amusements.

Franco-Canadian Folk Music

Written literature tends to be the work of a relatively affluent intellectual elite. This is the reason why literature made its appearance in Canada only when the historical circumstances became favourable.
