You’re tripping yourself up on the difference between British English and American English. Canadian English is tolerant of both forms.
Oxford, where he wrote his thesis, would require ‘an’ before ‘historic’. When Governor of Bank of England, he would have had to have been careful to use British English.
If you’re a Canadian using American spelling and grammar checkers to define your language, you might wish to reconsider that. MS Word does have Canadian and UK English options.
The production values are sufficiently high that it makes me think it might actually be from an episode to come.
Good to know.
Perhaps the major changes in the market might lead to some of the foundries rethinking their willingness to do smaller runs.
There are so many Canadian small producers that have stopped producing as manufacturing moved south for economies of scale..
What I would like to see here is Canadian sourced yarn.
Canadian spun yarn from Canadian sourced fibres do exist but are harder to find.
There are also many small Canadian dyers but unfortunately many are buying imported merino yarn that is not ethically sourced.
There are lots of great yarn stores across Canada selling lovely imported yarns as this one is. Especially when this stores’ promoted partners, such as Pacific Yarns, are based in the USA.
I’m sincerely not sure what promoting them does for buying Canadian. I don’t see a focus on promoting Canadian yarn on their main page and the brands listed aren’t specifically Canadian.
Spinrite used to be a Canadian yarn maker but it’s more complicated now, and many of their yarns are available at big box stores.
Perhaps because there’s a big dose of misogyny intertwined with the critique of American Exceptionalism.
Think about how the song would play with genders reversed.
I think you’ll find that many store cards are really Visa or Mastercard.
Many Canadian store cards used to be owned by the stores. Some of the department store ones were very profitable.
However, many firms ‘rationalized’ by getting out of what was seen as a financial services business line to focus on their core retail. Weston’s with PC Financial is an exception - but for many consumers there are other reasons not to go with Loblaws/PC branded financial products.
There are, or at least were, Canadian cast iron makers.
Unfortunately, they seem to rely on Facebook.

Also, it’s not clear which of these businesses are actually still operating. For example, Bristol Iron Works in Huntsville ON has a danger flagged website and a FB page that hasn’t been updated in years.
Also, you don’t want to be looking to log into dodgy wifi when travelling with a burner phone to another country.
Physical guides are more secure and don’t require downloading to a burner device.
I believe one or two of the new senators have joined Mastodon as well but haven’t seen much from them yet.
Mastodon is very techy. It’s getting good traction there.
Just be sure to wash and block before connecting the blocks.
Can we talk about deaths per capita and military and civilians contributing to war effort per capita for a country that was NOT itself attacked?
Yes, there were U-Boats attacking merchant marines on the east coast and Japanese balloons flying in on the west. But the societal contribution to a war not in our soil was and is astonishing.
