Raised in northern Canadian mining towns, he knows the bush, but now lives at the edge of a small village in Northern Ireland with his patient wife Mavis. This tells the tale of radical Canadian wilderness boarding school that subjected boys to arduous canoe expeditions, brutal physical punishments, and systemic abuse, ultimately ending in a 1978 canoeing disaster that left 13 dead.
