The Canadian TV Guilty Pleasures We’d Never Admit We Loved They weren’t always prestige television. Some were cheesy, some were weird, and some were so unmistakably Canadian they probably couldn’t have been made anywhere else. But when they came on, we watched. Canadian television used to be wonderfully strange. There was a time when you turned on the television and had no idea whether you were about to watch a […]
The Canadian Stores We’d Bring Back Tomorrow If We Could They weren’t necessarily better stores, and nostalgia has a funny way of polishing the floors. But give Canadians one afternoon inside a long-gone retailer and you might be surprised how quickly the memories come back. There are stores you shop at, and then there are stores that somehow become attached to a period of your life. You remember going there […]
Montreal at 3 A.M. Used to Taste Better: The Legendary Late-Night Eats We've Lost There was a time when last call in Montreal didn't mean finding a drive-thru. Smoked meat, eggs, burgers, fries and enough grease to make tomorrow slightly more manageable were waiting all over the city. Some of the places that fed generations of Montreal night owls are gone now. There was a particular moment during a Montreal […]
Two of the most recognizable actors in the world managed to have a private wedding, keep most of the details to themselves and then celebrate with family and friends largely on their own terms. In modern Hollywood, that may be the real story. There are celebrity weddings, and then there are celebrity productions that happen to include a wedding. Tom Holland and Zendaya appear to have chosen the former. After […]
An old Canadian restaurant menu from 2018 has resurfaced online, and the prices look almost ridiculous beside what we're paying today. It wasn't 30 years ago. It was eight. Try to remember what going out for dinner cost in 2018. Not 1985, when we're told you could apparently buy a house, a Buick and a steak dinner for fourteen dollars. I'm talking about eight years ago. An old Canadian pub […]
When Did Concerts Get So Damn Perfect? The sound is better. The lights are better. The shows are safer. So why does it sometimes feel like we lost something along the way? I've been watching clips of Rush's current tour with Anika Nilles, and they sound great. Really great, actually. Considering we're talking about musicians whose history stretches back more than 50 years, it's remarkable. The playing is there, the […]
10 Canadian Songs Everyone Here Knows, But Americans Probably Don't There was once an entire layer of Canadian music that could be enormous north of the border and practically invisible a few hours south. If you grew up here, some of these songs weren't simply hits. They were part of the wallpaper. There's a funny thing that happens when Canadians talk about music with Americans. You mention a song you […]
10 Places You Have to Stand Once in Your Life to See Canada at Its Finest Canada is ridiculously beautiful. We say that so often that it's almost become a cliché, but every once in a while you find yourself standing somewhere in this country that reminds you exactly why we say it. Not looking at a picture of it. Not flying over it. Actually standing there. There's a moment […]
Just when you thought we'd beaten the price of beef to death, along comes vegetable oil. Yes, vegetable oil. Not prime rib. Not filet mignon. Not some imported delicacy you're buying twice a year. The bottle of cooking oil sitting beside the stove. An analysis of Statistics Canada's monthly retail-price data found that vegetable oil was up 138 percent between January 2020 and June 2026, more than any other grocery […]
