Canadian Gas Stations

The gas industry in Canada is mostly produce from Ontario and Quebec which account for approximately 60% of our consumption. Because the oil refineries in Canada can not accommodate our huge requirements at Canadian gas stations, the rest comes from somewhere else. There is an excellent article from the Globe and Mail that outlines where a majority of Canada’s product is refined and who fills in the gaps. The great things is that it was last updated in May, 2018. So unless there have been some major changes, the information is up to date. What I have done is compiled a list of well known service stations along with a bit of history and who owns them now. Thankfully we do have some accessible choices across the country. If you know of any that are missing please let me know. Canadian Gas Stations: Federated Co-operatives Saskatoon, SK This cooperative began in 1944 in Saskatchewan when a bunch of smaller cooperatives joined forces. They are located in cities and towns across Canada and get their gas from their own oil refinery in Regina Saskatchewan. I think the competition in some areas is too great so they do not have locations in […]

Canadian Made Pianos

We actually have a rich history in Canadian Made Pianos. It began in the late 1800’s and thrived until the mid 1900’s when the international piano makers moved in and the popularity of the piano began to decline. This forced the piano companies that were not taken over to band together in order to survive the changing landscape. The early strength of the piano industry allowed the last one to survive until the 1990’s. For more information on the history of the piano in Canada visit The Canadian Encyclopedia. With the modern technology of piano’s these days, the older ones have unfortunately decreased in value aside from the pride of owning what could be considered an antique because you love the art appreciate the history of music. According to some, a piano built in the early days could be only worth $500 while a new one in the market today can cost over $8,000. I myself appreciate the history of the manufacturing of pianos and can visualize the craftsmen and women building them with pride Piano’s made in Canada can still be found through resale on various websites. The question might be weather the old piano is worth the buy […]

The Oldest City In Canada

There are a few versions of what is the oldest city in Canada. It might actually depend on how you look at it. Pre Cannda, actually began long before the first city was established. It was during the final glacial period that the Paleo-Indians migrated from Alaska which was not yet America. Through the next thousands of years, indigenous groups would establish settlements across Canada reaching from what is now considered the West Coast to the East Coast. Europeans landed in Canada as early as 1497. The theory is that St. John’s Newfoundland was actually the first settlement, and discovered by John Cabot, however there is evidence that there was a colony there up to 500 years prior. Sir Humphrey Gilbert of Britain established a formal claim to the island in 1583 and created barriers in the form of penalties to any settlement on the island as they took advantage of the abundant fish trade. Although it was established in 1519, It was not until 1855 that a local government was formed. The city was incorporated in 1888. Quebec was first claimed in 1534 by Jacques Cartier through the St. Lawrence River. Most settled along the river and in what […]

Canadian Outsourcing

Canadian outsourcing has changed over the years as companies compete in the global market. The challenge is finding the companies that manufacture their product here in Canada. As businesses attempt to get a foot hold in the success of their products, outsourcing is just too tempting as they capitalize on the inexpensive labor and material costs outside of the country. I believe we need to try to reward the ones that are committed to Canada and Canadians as much as we can. Canadian Outsourcing The beginning of manufacturing in Canada was in the early 18th century when grain was processed into flour in a place known as New France which became Quebec in 1763. Indigenous people actually ground plants by hand to make the same type of ingredients before Milling technology arrived via Europeans in the middle of the 16th century. Prior to that, you could say that outsourcing was standard. Canada was actually a hotbed of manufacturing activity until early 2000 when regulations in Canada were reduced and outsourcing became more prominent as more companies moved their production overseas. This shift in North America began in the 1970’s with China and India becoming the top destinations for textile products. America […]
