Outside of Canada, many assume that the entire country uses bagged milk.
The truth is, only part of Canada have bagged milk in the fridge.
But why? Well, it comes down when Canada made the transition to the metric system.

For me, few stories from Canadian folklore are scarier than that of the Old Hag of Newfoundland.
She is said to visit people while they sleep, leading to the phrase "I was hagged last night".
This is the story of a very scary night visitor.

The critically-acclaimed hit reshaped Canadian television and made a star out of Paul Gross.

When the Spadina Expressway was announced in 1962, it was meant with immense opposition.
The proposed construction would destroy homes, parks and alter neighbourhoods. So, the Stop Spadina campaign began. Nine years later, the expressway was cancelled.
