Things to Do in Canada 187

In partnership with

Good morning!

Did you know? New Brunswick’s Campobello Island is unique in that it co-hosts the only U.S. International Park in the world. Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a singular example of international cooperation - jointly administered, staffed, and funded by the peoples of Canada and the United States.

This is because Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s magnificent summer home is preserved here in a combination indoor museum and outdoor nature park. If you’re keen to learn more, continue reading the 187th edition of the Weekly Goose, which features a guide to Campobello Island, a video about New Brunswick, our popular “Beaver Bites”, and more!

  • Just when you think the transportation issue couldn’t get any worse in Canada, it does. Flights in smaller markets are eroding in favour of the more lucrative big city markets like Toronto and Vancouver. Both big airlines, WestJet and Canada, are putting almost all of their resource into big-city routes, leaving smaller areas like Regina and Sault Ste. Marie in the dust. Even the fares are becoming more expensive in the big cities and cheaper in the bigger ones.

  • When it comes to fashion, Milan and Paris often come to mind. But now you can add Newfoundland to that list. St.John’s inaugural fashion week ended not long ago and was a smashing success, selling out its ticketed events. Throw in a screech-in and it sounds like a great time!

  • Ever wonder why airplanes get so chilly? This is why. We’re up in the air on this one as our recent flights have been very hot.

  • Apple might dominate the phone market but they certainly don’t dominate the map market. That would be Google Maps, which is used by about 70% of the market. However, Apple is rethinking things now and just released a 3D map feature that offers incredible quality in comparison. We don’t know where we’d be without digital maps these days so let’s see where this goes.

Just for Fun

  • Working remotely has changed the landscape of many things, one of which is travel. In fact, 43% of remote workers say they sometimes work from a cottage or from a different city, opening up travel possibilities that didn’t exist previously.

  • Housing in Canada is overwhelmingly overpriced, but in this small town in Saskatchewan, they’ll give you $30,000 to move there and build a home.

  • The Great Canadian Comedy Festival just wrapped up in Calgary and is now headed to Vancouver. If you love laughing and being offended, get your tickets now.
