| Celebrating Canada's 150th Birthday
Post any public celebratory events in this thread.
Also something you and your family or friends plan to do to celebrate this country's 150th birthday.
I'm thinking of doing a cross country road trip again this summer. Try to time it so I'm in Ottawa on July 1st. This time, I'll have a dashcam with me.

Special Translink Canada 150 compass cards available at Stadium Station.
Damn it, found out about them today. They started selling them on the 22nd. Limited to 20, 000. 14, 000+ were sold in 24 hours. I only found out about them this morning through a stamp dealer who has a weekly auction. Checked out what was up for auction and there it was. Nice looking card, too. Selling on eBay for 65 bucks!
WTF?
Oh, Canadian Tire is giving away a special edition Canada 150 CT money. It's 10 cent value, but looks very nice. I'm collecting anything with Canada 150 logo on it. Lighters, flags, coffee mugs, etc. I have stuff from Canada's Centennial. Yes, I was around for that one, too. god willing, I plan to be around for the bicentennial.

If someone had mentioned it earlier.............. oh well. Translink might have some reserved for Canada Day. Probably have to sing and dance for one or send embarrassing photos of self in Canadian garb to some lame, promotional contest.
And fuck you, eBayers, for jacking up the price. Buying up the cards by the hundreds and selling them for profit. I can understand paying double or even triple the original price for one......... /rant

Success! Got a Canada 150 compass card. Cost a grand total of 6 bucks. I drove to Waterfront Station and went up to the second floor where the Translink office is located. Cute gal there said only one card per person and I'm like, "That's all I need." By the time I got there, they only had 20 left.
On the way back, I stopped by Canadian Tire and got the special CT money. I told the lady at customer service I'll donate two bucks to the Jump Start Program if I got more. She gave me five total.

You would also have to ask some special RS members about that. You know bear also refers to gay hairy bikers, right?

AFAIK, most stations were out as of a few days ago.

100th and 150th logos.
The full size official flag of the 100th that I have at home has a green background and looks very sharp. I'm okay with the 150th.
