Sounds like a pretty cool job, though, in the Canadian Heraldic Authority.

Back in the days of my youth - or, indeed, my middle age - I would have killed to be a Canadian Herald. Heraldry was a hobby of mine during that time. Not, alas, any more.

As it's now 1st July in this little corner of the country, ![[Smile]](smile.gif) may I wish the rest of you a happy Canada Day.
Here in Newfoundland the morning is known as "Memorial Day" and there are remembrance ceremonies for those killed in World War 1; Canada Day isn't celebrated until after that. I know Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada at the time (and the role of the Newfoundland Regiment may have been different from that of the Canadian ones), but I assume that many people from other parts of Canada were lost as well - do remembrance ceremonies happen in other places too, or is it just here?

Not on Canada Day, to my knowledge. But that excepts Newfoundland which, as you said, was an Independent Dominion in those days. And that which you are remembering is a horrific scar on your little country. It should always take preference over Canada Day.
Did Best Buy slant their advertising there, too?

I can't say I've noticed any Best Buy adverts, but you know what it's like - one tends to mentally block out adverts as there are so many of them.

July 1 was/is significant to Nfld. because the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went "over the top" on that day during the battle of Beaumont-Hamel. Of the 780 men who moved forward, only 110 survived, with only 68 available for roll call the next day.
This, along with other major losses, was a significant contribution to the devastation of Newfoundland during the Depression, leading to direct rule from England before WW2, and the post-war referendum on joining Canada or the US in 1949.
So Memorial Day marks major turning points in the island's history, more than just the annexation by Canada. I doubt there are many stores that would open on that day.
Canada Day is definitely a holiday in the Maritimes, with all the major stores closed (although the tourism people certainly work!) Apparently commerce trumps holidays in other parts.

Most stores close here as well on holidays (Boxing Day is the notable exception). A sale advertised as a "Canada Day sale" would mean that the special pricing was in effect leading up to or surrounding that day, not on the day itself.

Indeed - it's a full-on public holiday, with the remembrance ceremonies as mentioned above in the morning, and fireworks for Canada Day in the evening.
As far as I know, Tim Horton's was about the only place open ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Well, Trawna doesn't have many disasters (except à la Lastman), but this counts as a sort of mini one. Hope our Toronto shippies are fine.

The death toll in Mégantic is up to 13. Many still missing. What a terrible, terrible way to die.

Astonishing that no major injuries have been reported, AFAIK.
Within two months, we've had a 30-year storm and now a 60-year storm (coming close to the one-day rainfall record set during the legendary Hurricane Hazel of 1954). Metro Toronto (as it was at the time) learned a lot back then, and implemented sound policies such as turning the ravines and floodplains into parkland and disallowing buildings in those areas. But, obviously, roads and railways still run through low-lying areas.
But whether I was bailing water last night or watching news from around the city, I kept thinking "This is nothing." Lac-Megantic

I'm sure that Our-Great-Leader-who-represents-the-Oil-Patch would like to find a way of blaming you for all the disasters. That would get him off the hook for having to deal with climate and oil-related problems.
The optics of his cuts to the Transportation Safety Board aren't particularly good, on top of all his climate denial.

We lost power yesterday for about 5-6 hours (was asleep when it came back on). As we live on the 9th floor of a building on one of the highest hills in the city, flooding was no issue for us.
The pics of that GO Train were interesting. Surprised the whole thing didn't slide and go on its side.
People all had a story today...kinda like when we have a snow storm.
And it took somebody about 15 minutes to make a "call in the navy" joke.

Meanwhile, this patch of BC is having the most sublime weather imaginable. About 23 to 25 every day, bright sunshine. And I just flew on a seaplane for the first time in my life, from Victoria back to Vancouver after catching the ferry this morning.
I'm vaguely aware that life sucks elsewhere, but it's kind of hard to ignore how amazing it is here at the moment.

The Army, Navy and Air Force are on a roll. The Navy got its curl back and the Army as of yesterday got its pips and crowns back. (I'll bet the pips are actually Maple Leaves, but whatever).
At this rate the only holdout is the Air Force and its ranks. I will lay odds that we'll have Air Marshals and Squadron Leaders back within six months, at which time the dreadfulness of 1968 will have been expunged.

Only when they split the medical, chaplaincy and supply/ordnance/whatever its called corps into three distinct bodies, none of them talking to each other, will the 1968 reforms be undone.
Then, for example, we can have three distinct groups of people doing the same job of administration, but in different ways, each with its own approach, computers, pay systems and so on -- and none of it interchangeable between the army, the navy and the air force.
Then we can have chaplains properly army, navy and air force -- three separate lots with incompatible rank systems and no transferrability among them.
Medical people can sign up for the army knowing they'll never have to dirty their hands with mere air force injuries.
1968 may have gone too far, but you show your age and lack of experience by not thinking about the vast waste of money and the incredible inefficiency of the previous system -- which was the reason for the reform in the first place.
It's hard enough now to get anything reasonable through DND, and a lot harder since the present government started reversing 1968. Heaven forbid we should go back to pre-1968...in the modern world that way lies only madness and armed forces so tied up by bureaucracy that they wouldn't be able to get a place into the air (ssupposing we have any planes capable of flight), any vessel to sea (supposing...) or any tank into a field (once again supposing...)

I am aware of the "Purple Trades Problem" and the horrid lack of co-ordination; but these issues have plagued many countries of our size and many larger ones too. Most modern NATO militaries have moved towards unification of support elements and greater service integration WITHOUT going all the way to the gratuitous stripping of identity and tradition that Canada engaged in.
See Belgium and the UK for examples.
And please, "young whipper-snapper" finger-wagging comments are entirely unbecoming in AS.

I get nauseated just from the description and photo of the burger. Forget the dubious nutritive value, it's a gustatory debacle.

Thank you Pete! It feels very good to be remembered.
Not sure my advice was too helpful in this case as my knowledge is predominantly Anglican.
Looking forward to my first visit to Toronto in over 20 years next month, sadly too short (2 nights) to try and meet up with any cool kids on that side of the country.

Interesting wedding today. The wedding was Muslim (complete with imam) the dinner was French-Canadian and the dancing started out with an exotic dancer in the Egyptian tradition. One little boy (about 6) went absolutely big-eyed when she came on and grabbed the table's disposable camera to snap off a few of her demonstrating her belly button control. But I confess I left when the disco started. Or whatever they call epilepsy-inducing flashing lights these days.
