I'll have to confess to liking caramel spread.
But truly - eating in Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec or Vancouver
when you know where to go is so wonderful. still recall that little
Chinese place you took me
to on Spadina , I think it was.
anyway, love the photo

What's not to like?
Seriously, thanks, Ann, and thanks to everyone who commented.
BTW, TNT is the army surplus store in that building. Filled with must, mould
and lots of cool stuff (most of it olive drab).
Cheers,

I'm a fan of Canada - except for certain culinary un-delights
Fun photo here, too! (Dynamite shot, even, you might say)

Until the 1960s our flag was the Red Ensign, a Union Jack on a red
field with the shield of Canada thereon. Even as a kid I thought it was
humiliating.
After considerable debate, in 1965 we adopted the current Red Maple
Leaf flag, which I thought as an eight year old, and still think now,
is the most beautiful flag in the world. I will admit to some bias in
that regard.
Here in New Toronto we celebrate that anniversary and Canada Day with
this clever trompe d'oeille mural:

For all it's faults, Canada's a pretty damned good place to live. For
all my criticisms of it, this one day of the year I allow myself a bit
of patriotism.
Happy Canada Day!
