It’s important for us to speak directly to Americans looking to build home or renovate. How much this work costs is going up – because Donald Trump has slapped additional tariffs on top of already unfair softwood duties. We didn’t do it, so we shouldn’t wear it.

It was first observed as Orange Shirt Day in 2013 and was elevated to a statutory holidy for federal workers in 2021.

Throughout this week, I am taking a nostalgic look at school supplies in Canada.
Today, it is Laurentien coloured pencils/pencil crayons/leads.
This brand existed for decades, but disappeared when an American company bought the brand.
This is the story.
