Good Morning #Canada
Today's post about #CanadianCapitals is a town that has the most tennis courts per capita in Canada. I got that factoid from from the internet so we know it's true. As one of the 4 original provinces to join Confederation, New Brunswick joined the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1867. Fredericton, previously known as Fort Nashwaak, Pointe-Sainte-Anne, and Frederick's Town, became the provincial capital. Although it was a small community at the time, It was an easy decision because the town had served as the capital of Acadia under the French, and as the seat of government for the colony of New Brunswick under British rule. The New Brunswick Legislature building was originally opened in 1788, but was destroyed by fire in 1880 and replaced in 1882. Fredericton is known for its spacious downtown with wide streets, thanks to the original street plan laid out in a detailed map in 1785.

Good Morning #Canada
I'm relaxing in front of a fireplace with some freshly brewed coffee and watching the Weather Network map animation loop endlessly showing the forecasted snow that will hit us in the next 24 hours. It's hypnotic and distracts you from thinking about the 25-30cm expected accumulation. If you love snow, Canada is the place to be. In fact, almost two-thirds (65%) of Canada's land mass has annual snow cover for more than six months of the year. I read that on the internet, so it's true. I'll be one of the 24% of Canadians who own a #SnowBlower throwing the white stuff everywhere, including back into my face. About half of Canadian households on the east coast own a Snow Blower versus 7% in British Columbia. Apparently, 51% of residents in Barrie use snow clearing machines, which is a statistic I should have paid attention to when we decided to move into this area.
