I saw your Q. earlier, bunny, but I honestly can't think of anything myself. Online shopping in Canada is about 10 years behind the U.S. I would try sears.ca - at least they are reliable, decent quality, will ship gifts to the recipient, and are likely to have what you want.

Could any of you lovely Canadian BUSTies tell me the name/site of some of the best Canadian baby stores please? The boy's sis is expecting in Vancouver and the boy wants to buy baby monitors for her.

Happy Canada Day fellow BUSTIes!

I've not got anything reallt special planned, the fireworks are at the Forks and of course almost everyone and their dog goes out and it being in down town Winnipeg makes traffic, well, a disaster. So, I think I'll just lay low and have a Canada Day Shhmoke!

Arcadia that blows.

Work sent someone out to come get us.

No fireworks tonight. =(

Still, I hope everyone else has a good day.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

I don't really have any plans, just having a family barbecue and that's about it.

Happy Canada Day, fellow Canadian Busties!

I should be working today, actually (I work for Apple here in PEI, so you can imagine how stupid busy it is right now with the iPhone release!), but the Mister and I just called in for a personal day at work because a) we don't want to pay for a cab to go in, and cool.gif it's Canada Day! Seriously, I like Canada Day more than Christmas!

Damn working for an American company on my national holiday! Hopefully it doesn't rain tonight so we can see some fireworks!

Have a good day, everyone!

I'm hanging out at Osborne Village in Winnipeg. I love going to the street fest. On Sunday I was going to go to the beach but it looks like rain now. Then I'll go watch some fireworks.

I have to admit, I haven't been in here very much but I'm at work with nothing to do so I just thought I would venture in.

polly, I'm just curious, what exactly are you referring to about Lynn Johnston?


Anyhoo, does anyone have any special plans for Canada Day? I never really end up doing anything.

Since I've seen this topic brought up in here before, I have to ask:

WTF is Lynn Johnston doing? blink.gif

You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird.
Life can be perfect. People can be trusted. Someday, I will fall in love; a nice quiet home of my very own.
Free from all the pain. Happy and having fun all the time.

Hello all,

I've been a Torontonian/Mississauga-ian all my life until a recent move to a small town outside Ottawa.

I went to visit my parents in Toronto and took my dog to the High Park off leash area - it was a nuthouse, about 50 dogs running crazy. My mom said, "Toronto dog's aren't nice like Ottawa dogs." hee

I'm not knocking Toronto, I really love it, it was just a funny comment!

I've lived in both places (I'm from the East Coast), and I can definitely say that the last winter in Winnipeg was very comparable to the winters in the East Coast (cold-wise, not snow-wise).

Oh I agree. I used to work in the Exchange District and it is so wonderful in summer.

Sometimes the winters get to be a little much. But, it is survivable.

I actually don't mind the winters, probably because I grew up with them. As long as you're bundled up properly it's not too bad. The summers are amazing though. The weather is already so beautiful, so much sun in the last few weeks. The best time to come to Winnipeg is really in July with Folk Fest and the Fringe Fest, among other things, going on. I'm trying to get a Danish guy I met in a hostel in Toronto to come visit in July. tongue.gif

Arcadia there are a few of us from Winnipeg in here, and I'll agree it gets a little chilly here sometimes! Best time to come is in summer, the city is beautiful in summer. I promise!



Yeah, I definitely heard that from the other citizens of Winnipeg. Gorgeous in the summer, mental in the winter. Mr. Arc grew up in Saskatoon and he totally agrees . . . . there were times he wasn't allowed to even go outside in the winter because it was too cold and his lungs would freeze or somesuch.

I like the concept of the prairies, but the cold is just very NO THANKS! laugh.gif

Hey!

Just wanted to introduce myself in the Canadian part of this site!

I was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as all over Prince Edward Island (being moved back and forth between divorced parents), so I'm definitely a Maritimer and I pretty much love it.

The only other province I've ever visited was Manitoba; Winnipeg to be more specific, in the middle of February. Such culture shock! It was soooooooooo cold! (CH you're probably laughing at me right now, I think you like in Winnipeg, no?) I did like the city though.

I really need to travel in my own country more! Mr. Arc is an American and he's seen more of Canada than I have!
