The photograph accompanying this episode of the podcast is the reason for this episode of the podcast. Speaking with my mother  about my McLuhan Joke episode, she wanted to know where I got the photo. I told her about how one can trace information sources via google images. 

To give her an example, while we were on the phone I sent her a link to the Toronto Life article where I found the photo, and Mom and I discovered the article together. 

Midway through our phone conversation, I realized what a great guide mom's interest in McLuhan could turn out to be. I began secretly recording. 

She, like a true Mom, wanted to know who the women in the picture were. 

I hadn't even thought to identify them, I'd just assumed it was their wives. The photo was taken in 1970 out front of the Windsor Arms hotel in Toronto's Yorkville district.  As the caption in the article reveals. The women in the photograph are Corrine, Marshall's wife - and Teri, McLuhan's daughter, acclaimed documentarian. 

 It's clear Trudeau is caught in the act of charming them both. 

The fabulous article is a must-read for McLuhanites and the general public alike.
