• The “Buy Canada” movement, which doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, also means more travel in Canada. At least that’s what airlines are hoping for. WestJet is increasing its flights within Canada by 10% this summer, launching 11 new routes and boosting the volume of its existing flights while Porter is also launching new routes from Hamilton to Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Halifax. The increase in volume could help lower the cost of airfare as well.
  
  

• Four Seasons is winning awards in Canada. First, the Four Seasons Resort Whistler was named the best resort in Canada, and then the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto was named the best hotel in Canada. If you’ve got a bottomless wallet, these look like they’re worth the splurge.

• Speaking of the Canadian economy, many Canadians want to buy more locally now, but the wide range of labels makes this tricky. Here’s how to make sense of Canadian labels.

• Canada Dry is one of the most famous Ginger Ale brands in the world, but have you noticed it tastes better while flying? Well, not just the Canada Dry brand. All ginger ale tastes better when opened at 30,000 feet, and this is why it tastes so good.
  
  

• Cold plunges are popular these days, and many celebrities and health professionals promote them. However, there is almost no conclusive evidence of their benefits, aside from an initial endorphin rush and possibly better sleep 12 hours later.
