But national pride comes in all shapes and sizes, and we want to know about your most Canadian possessions that have you feeling patriotic, no flagpole required.
Perhaps it is a family heirloom passed down for generations, a piece of Canadiana you found at a yard sale, or a keepsake that reminds you of home when you're far away? Maybe it screams 'Canada!' or defines this country's spirit in a more understated fashion?

New-look Montreal bus stop signs being unveiled
The newly designed bus stop signs are coming to a neighbourhood near you in Montreal. (STM) Look up at a bus stop in Montreal and things may have changed. For the first time since the early '90s, the Montreal transit authority (Société de transport de Montréal - STM) is swapping out its bus stop signs at the around 9,000 stops in the Montreal area. Signs will be gradually replaced over the next few years. The update is meant to coincide with the arrival of the REM light-rail line, which required a new logo. The new designs are meant to make it easier for riders to read the information. What's new? Bus line number is 17 per cent more visible. Type of service 148 per cent more visible. Connections to other modes of transport are 35 per cent more visible. The STM says that around 30 signs are changed every week due to them being broken, the information changing or because of vandalism.

We thank everyone for their continued vigilance and cooperation,' stated the township in their notice. Nobleton residents are encouraged to report coyote sightings to VAS and to call 911 in the event of an emergency.

Keeping barbecues clean, properly disposing pet waste and placing waste at the curb only on the morning of collection days. For those who encounter a coyote, the township and VAS recommend:
