@ Canadian Butter Tarts “Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse like this one pictured in our itinerary in Nova Scotia? So romantic!" mused Squeaky, nibbling on a taffy lolly. "Well, I don't know," said Stripes. "It's not all about drinking coffee and gazing at the sea. You have to run up and down stairs, operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator." Squeaky considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then." Canadian Butter Tarts Roll out 13 oz/375g shortcrust pastry on lightly floured surface. Cut 18-20 rounds with a 3"/7.5cm fluted cutter. Use the rounds to line two deep 12-hole tart tins. Beat two large eggs in a large bowl and combine with 175g/6 oz light muscavado sugar, 100g/3 oz raisins, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 55g/2 oz butter and four tbsp single cream. Tip this mixture into a pan and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes until the butter melts, and the mixture bubbles and starts to thicken. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Don’t overcook, and be sure to stir all the time as the mixture can easily burn. Remove from the heat and stir in 50g/1½ oz walnuts or pecan nuts. Spoon the filling into the unbaked tart shells so it’s level with the pastry. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 190°C/Gas 5/375°F until set and pale golden. Leave in the tin to cool for a few minutes before lifting out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

@ The Maple Leaf Forever “What have you got in your tote bag, Sephira?” asked Squeaky. “It looks very full!” “I’ve come prepared for anything, Squeaky,” responded Sephira. “There’s deck shoes, snowshoes, tennis shoes, flip-flops, flippers, walking boots, Wellington boots—you name it, I’ve got it!” The Maple Leaf Forever At the time of Confederation in 1867, the maple leaf as a symbol of Canadian patriotism was relatively new. At a public meeting in August 1860, a group of Toronto citizens, planning for the upcoming Royal Visit of the Prince of Wales, decided to identify themselves as native-born Canadians by wearing a maple leaf. “The Englishman glories in his rose, the Irishman in his Shamrock, and the Scotchman in his thistle. Why should not Canadians, their descendants, wreath around their brows a chaplet of the maple leaf?” Maple leaf badges were worn at the reception for the Prince of Wales held in Toronto on 7 September 1860. Although the maple leaf had previously been used as a symbol for Canada, this was the first occasion on which it was worn as a national emblem.
While touring Canada, you met Sephira.

@ Rideau Canal, Ottawa “Wouldn't it be lovely to live in a lighthouse like these ones pictured in our itinerary for the Maritime provinces? So romantic!" mused Squeaky, sipping a leisurely fruit juice. "Well, I don't know," said Max. "It's not all about drinking orange juice and gazing at the sea. You have to run up and down stairs to operate the light and the foghorn, and there may be no running water or electricity apart from a generator." Squeaky considered this. "Mine would be a luxurious, converted, non-operational lighthouse, then." Rideau Canal, Ottawa The canal's challenging construction was supervised by Colonel John By between 1826 and 1832 (hence, Ottawa’s former name of Bytown). The flight of eight massive locks that connect the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal in the summer are still manually operated. This 202 km/125-mile long canal is a must-see location!

@ Alexandra Bridge, Ottawa “Listen to this, maddie moo,” said Squeaky. “’Culinary expert Delia Smith described maple syrup to be a unique ingredient, smooth and silky-textured, with a sweet, distinctive flavour—hints of caramel with overtones of toffee—and a rare colour, amber set alight. The maple flavour is uniquely different from any other.’” “We trust our Delia,” intoned maddie moo solemnly. “Pass the jug!” Alexandra Bridge, Ottawa In the background is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a minor Roman Catholic basilica built in 1879 in the neoclassical Gothic Revival style.

@ Ottawa Art Gallery “Oh hello, Squeaky!” cried Adept Sanitation Juggernaut. “Didn’t we bump into each other at the Fiat racetrack in Turin last month? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it?” Ottawa Art Gallery A glass chandelier in the Gallery. An exhibition in November 2020 was Ottawa-based photographer John Healey's Plastic Beach, a set of still life images of foraged plastic refuse discovered along the shores of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. Discarded shopping bags, fragments of milk jugs, and crushed bottle caps are reanimated to show us the lack of care with which we treat the habitat of millions of creatures. Arranged in dramatic light, Healey positioned these plastic items, evidence of human pollution, as messages in a bottle that have washed up on shore to deliver an ominous message: we cannot ignore these warnings any longer.
