I had a great time watching Inns Choi’s Kim’s Convenience recently at the Huntington Theatre in #Boston. For those that don’t know, the viral Netflix TV show originated as this all-Canadian play, illustrating a Korean immigrant’s family’s experiences running their convenience store in #Toronto.

HMCS Moncton visited #Boston today, berthed at Fan Pier until Monday, when it sets off to join OP Reassurance in Europe for minesweeping ops. With the Kingston class being phased out, it might be the last one I see. Special thanks to the CO. Always great to see a member of clan Wong 👑🟡in the RCN!

#DYK the story of women in the 🇺🇸 US military has a 🇨🇦 Canadian connection? ☎️ In 1917, a unit in the U.S. Army Signal Corps was formed consisting of phone operators who spoke English & French. 223 women aka the "Hello Girls" were in the unit. Many spoke French because of their 🍁⚜️ Canadian heritage.

🤝The Canada-US 🇨🇦🇺🇸 relationship is paramount. $2.5+ billion worth of goods & services crosses the border every day. 📈 #Canada is the largest export market for 36 states, top three for 46 states. 43 states export over US$1 billion to Canada every year. ⚡️Canada is the #1 supplier of #energy to the US.

Interesting and important to understand the change in #immigration policy into #Canada 🇨🇦. Chiefly the housing crisis, other infrastructure and institutions need time to “catch up”. youtu.be/vOB7-dbYuCc?...
