Canadiana

I'm talking the fur trade, canoes, beavers, the great white unexplored north. True north: strong, and free.

Category: Home Decor

Old Chum is one of my all time favourite Tumblrs. Looking through the pages and pages of its posts is like digging through stacks upon stacks of unorganized books only to find that each one is as much a jewel as the last. A paragon of Canadiana of…More »

7/29/2011

I wish every business would take a page from Marché St George's book, because this shop is exactly how my romantic little brain imagines the perfect general store to be. Minimally stocked with locally-sourced and artisan wares, this tiny corner store…More »

It's about time such a high quality bistro made its way into the market. Though Edible has been a mainstay on Granville for years, it was only a short time ago that I finally found myself enjoying its food. Could it be the new location? Probably. Or…More »

Not long ago, I was listening to Cross Country Checkup with Rex Murphy (not the CBC's shining glory, but hear me out), when a distinct and familiar voice called in. It was of a childhood friend who I hadn't seen in over 15 years. Last I'd heard, he…More »

Hilarious.

Saturday night. Old man karaoke. Shuffleboard. Boxed red wine. Bring your own food. Watch crazy 88 year old woman shuffle in, makeup smeared all over her face, look directly at you, give you the finger and say, "faaaaack yoouuuu"
