With YouTube, you never know what to expect, but among a pile of rubble, you’ll find a gem; this, in my opinion, certainly is one of them. Not a word of it is in english, and when captioned the song itself doesn’t fit, but the story as told through the video is absolutely beautiful; touching and sad.

A lot of people would argue that Expo 67 was Canada’s crowning cultural achievement. I was born thirteen years to late to have experienced it first hand, but from everything I’ve read and watched on the subject I’d be inclined to agree.
I also love how the internet can create a public archive of personal footage. Back in 1967 who would have imagined that the people of 41 years later would be able to view videos of their family vacation from anywhere in the world?
So without further adieu, I present you with 3 minutes of Expo 67 as seen through the eyes of a vacationing family.

Chances are that if you shop online you’ve on more than one occassion thought you had found a great deal only to discover that it’s for Americans only. If you’re a Canadian gamer, a new website has come to the rescue.
GamesForCanada.com works on a simple concept: shipping games to Canada costs no more than two or three dollars, but US businesses either charge and exorbitant amount or refuse to ship up north altogether. Acting as a middle man, GFC purchases games from US retailers and resells them to Canadians at a reasonable shipping rate. Right now the website is in early beta, so there’s not a lot of product yet. Some highlights so far include Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (MSRP $39.99 CAN) for only $15.99 and WarioWare: Smooth Moves (MSRP $49.99 CAN) for $29.90.
Keep an eye on this site in weeks to come. Something tells me that we’ll be seeing every great US deal pop up on there once they’re up and running.
Peter Phillips the 11th in line to the throne, became yesterday the first of Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren to wed, marrying his Canadian bride Autumn Kelly.
Autumn Patricia Kelly was born in 1978 in Montreal, Quebec. Kelly graduated from McGill University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in East Asian Studies in 2002 and started a career as a management consultant. While at University, she worked as a bartender and model.
Girls out there wondering how Autumn Kelly got to meet Peter Phillips 😉 … Autumn Kelly and Peter Phillips, who was working for WilliamsF1 at the time, met at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal in 2003.
Interestingly Peter Phillips could have lost his place in the line of the succession to the Throne because Autumn Kelly was a Roman Catholic. However, a couple of weeks ago she renounced her Roman Catholic faith for the Church of England.
So as the Telegraph puts it: If by some tragic mischance, or distressing Nepalese-style bloodbath, the Prince of Wales, Princes William and Harry, Prince Andrew, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Prince Edward and his children and the Princess Royal were all snuffed out, it will be Peter Phillips rather than his feisty sister Zara whose head will one day appear on the stamps. And his wife will be the Canadian Autumn Kelly.
