Mark Critch explores what it's really like growing up in Newfoundland

Mark Critch came in to talk about his new memoir Son of a Critch. The book touches on Critch's 1980's childhood in Newfoundland, including an unfortunate moment when he got locked out of school on a fourth-floor window ledge... or that other time, when he faked an asthma attack to avoid being arrested by military police.

Funny, he doesn't look like a Newfie. Where are his anorak, waders, and Golly! expression?
