Crossman said she really liked the sealskin boots with duffle liners that were made by a mother of one of the CBC employees. - Contributed Then we started wondering why they had power, and we didn’t. You know those funny looking things on the power poles – they are called transformers – well, ours had gone berserk or something. They came with a long pole and spoke sharply to that transformer and presto chango, we had power.I have mentioned that I lived in Rankin Inlet on the western shore of Hudson Bay in the 1980s.
