The World Needs More Canada

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

I fell off the “blogging-wagon” again as I’ve been involved with summer travel, most recently it’s been a couple Canadian Provinces in August – Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario. We also had cool train rides from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, BC; and from Buffalo, NY to Toronto, ON.

We just returned from a week in Toronto and I made several trips to Indigo – Canada’s largest bookstore, specifically one at Eaton Centre, where they had this awesome (and so true) display on the wall from the first to second floors:

It’s difficult to read but it lists some of the great Canadian writers, musicians, artists. etc. But all I could see were the words I was definitely feeling: “The World Needs More Canada“.

Yes I am currently having a love affair with Canada (can you tell?). I appreciated being welcomed with open arms by the kind people of Canada even though I am from a neighboring country that is not too popular in the world right now!

This short post is just to wave hi to my blogging buddies. I think I am going to backtrack to May on my pre-summer travels and catch you up on our travels (the tierneycreates Beastie even came along on one of the trips).

For now here is a cool photo of John and I from our travels. He used a photo editing feature which turns the photo into a pen drawing!

  3. I visited Vancouver this past May too. I enjoyed the people and places so much, I was almost considering dual citizenship. My Uncle lives on Denman Island, and it is an artist community, the best of all worlds.

  5. we are waving back from Canada, sounds like you had a very enjoyable trip. I’d have to leave my wallet and credit cards at home if I ever visited the Indigo store. Love the pen drawing, a clever idea. Take care 🙂

  10. I like that pen drawing photo pretty cool. Also I love Canada and I can’t wait to go back to Toronto. My sister lives in Saint Catherine’s, which is near Toronto. And I look forward to hearing more about your Canada travels.
