Amazing Canadian talent and ingenuity that hardly any Canadians heard about. Who knew there was a world expo in Osaka and that our pavilion was so very cool? When do we learn how to toot our own horns?

If Canada “must come second” to the U.S. auto sector, maybe Canadians should consider American cars 4th or 5th.

Canada must come ‘second’ to U.S. in auto sector, Howard Lutnick warns behind closed doors

Appearing virtually, the commerce secretary told an audience at a Canada-U.S. conference in Toronto that the U.S. is determined to dominate the car-making industry.

Yeah, I feel like we’re pretty lucky that ours have lasted as long as they have.

Penny Olorenshaw 🇨🇦 @pennyolo.bsky.social · 18d

It also doesn't help when you purchase all your appliances at the same time. The appliance repair guy I contacted about our washing machine was genuinely surprised our appliances had lasted 20 years - seems that just not normal these days.

My parents used to love camping here in the 50s. Thank heavens for national parks that preserve these spaces- it doesn’t look any different now than it did then.
