In this special Canada Day episode, Hamid Asrar shares his inspiring story of coming to this country – and Kawartha Lakes! It’s a journey that made several stops, in several different continents. It's a journey that brought huge rewards, but also had him confront a few challenges.
Along the way, Hamid also earned a law degree and has carved out a successful career as a real estate lawyer with Wards Lawyers.
That journey, too, is a fascinating story. But, we admit, you’ll likely find Hamid’s recounting of his introduction to snow way more interesting and uplifting.
Our theme music comes from Sean Jamieson and Stella Panacci – proud Canadians and residents of Kawartha Lakes, too, eh!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
