Canada Day, eh?
So, you cannot have a Canada Day celebration without a piper in a boat, a duck and a boat named Titanic, and some quiet time by the dock, eh?

A blast
Party season officially arrived last week in these parts, with the annual St-Jean-Baptiste celebrations, which in some parts of eastern Ontario and western Québec signal the start of summer. Happy Canada Day and July 4th!

Captive audience
The Old L'Orignal Jail opens its doors to visitors every summer, hosting a variety of events, including a recent art show. There are few galleries that advise visitors to be aware of barbed wire!

Shiny, heavy metal
One of the best things about this newspaper racket is that occasionally you get to wear special protective gear as you tour a steel-making plant. The scene at times resembled an Elton John retro convention or a bad sci fi-heavy metal mix on roids. But actually this was serious stuff -- we taxpayers are spending $10 million to help a local industry invest a total of $80 million in an expansion that will create jobs, increase efficiency, and -- get this -- reduce the foundry's impact on the environment.
In these parts, the colour of money is a bright red, as in sparks created by an arc furnace.
