It is not every day that a topic of our blog / bulletin / thingee takes the front page of a newspaper, whether that be a daily or weekly. Nay. Yet, that is the case today. The 8 November 1951 edition of the Montréal, Québec, weekly Photo-Journal carried the following headlines, in translation: “Florida Lanthier, without her parachute – Read on page 3.” Yours truly must admit to being intrigued. It turns out that Lanthier was / is one of the rare francophone female fairground aeronauts in Québec

Do you remember seeing The Amazing Potato exhibition when it was presented at the National Museum of Science of Technology, in Ottawa, Ontario (1991-94), or at the Agriculture Museum, also in Ottawa (1994-2000), my reading friend? No? You saw it at the Potato Museum, in O’Leary, Prince Edward Island, after that date, between 2000 and 2012 perhaps? Wunderbar! It was a great exhibition, was it not? Need I mention that all of these museal institutions are now, in 2021, known by other monikers? Yes

I have a confession to make, my reading friend. I am not a big fan of automobiles. While I readily recognise the cultural, emotional, financial, industrial, mythical, political, practical, religious (?), social, technological, etc., importance of that mode of transport, the fact is that, around 2019, road transport despatched in the atmosphere of our good old Earth about 18% of the world’s anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. That is no small thing. This being said (typed?), yours truly must

How would you like to read a fascinating text while sipping a glass of turnip juice, my reading friend? If so, you are in for a treat, if I may quote the vampire Eric Northman. I think. I hope. And yes, the topic in question is one of the aircraft types in the fabulous collection of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. Before we go any further on the yellow brick road that we are following today, yours truly would like to mansplain the title of the article published in Le

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Greetings, my reading friend. Yours truly is happy to see that you wish to drink once again from the fountain of knowledge that our anarchic and overly chatty blog / bulletin / thingee sometimes constitutes. I will not tell you anything you did not already know by saying (typing?) that the supremely illustrious Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, acquired a very important aircraft in October 1981 and ... What do you say? You do not have a clue of what I am talking (typing?)
