Made in Canada

Well since I have been feeling a little uninspired lately I thought that doing the word challenge for November might be a good idea. Today's word was Patriotism and so I thought of this store downtown Edmonton.
It is a nice little gift shop and since it is hard to find something that is actually made in Canada these days I figured that I would be a little patriotic today and give them a small boost by featuring them on 365

Good choice - l started the November list to try and instill some enthusiasm too...good luck!!

[Maggiemae]

Yes, we all need these sort of shops - to support your own country and its workers.

[Lyn]

Ah. . .that's thinking out of the box! I like your idea!

[Kerri]

Great catch

[Brian Baptie]

Very creative thread!!

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Wonderful idea, we don't have much " made in Australia " either.

[Frida]

Hey, what about maple syrup? Is that not Canadian? I always thought so.... Nice little shop you captured Brian!

[John]

Great concept, well captured.

[Ellen Young]

Good for you bkb! Im sure there is alot of things made in Canada eh?

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Well spotted!

[Claire]

I think stores like this are much needed, especially in recession times. I remember our BHS stores once only sold British goods; BHS being British Home Stores. Good shot Brian.

[Gerry]

very nice photo Bkb we still have a couple of BHS stores in the Uk

[Chris]

A good idea. Congratulations.

[John]

Cool idea

[Jordan]

looks like a fun shop, and I really like the shot! By my parents house there used to be a shop dedicated to things made in ohio it is always so neat to find out what sorts of items are made near where you live.

[Cindy Rez]

Perfect for the word!!!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Good patriotism shot. Looks like it would be a great place to shop.

[Carole Imes]

Nice boost for Canada and so proudly displayed.

[Ian Fisher]

A great patriotic shot!

[Caren]

Great choice for a cool idea!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great shot for the challenge xx

[Hubregt Visser]

Well done! I thought that patriotism, or at least the showing of it, was something typical American.

[Pyrrhula]

Great find and excellent for the theme. well captured

[❀ Lynn]

That would be a good shop to check out! Nice to see there is something like this around.

[Joyce Wells]

Great idea! I had my students check the labels on their shirts and sweaters the other day, and we couldn't find one that was made in the USA! China, The Philippines, and Mexico were all high on the list.

[Harry J Benson]

nice composition and lighting

[suzanne macneil]

Nice capture! Always nice to find something made "at home".

[Kim]

Nice representation on patriotism! Take note, this is a corner...

[Glenda B]

Excellent shot! I would love to go shopping there :)

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots Thanks Kim

[bkb in the city]

@glenda_b I think you would enjoy it

[Menarose]

It is nice to know - hahahah - when we all see is mostly made from "China".

[Ann H. LeFevre]

How excellent! And I thought the "it's hard to find anything made on home soil" problem only occurred in the US. That was both good and bad to find out! Nice shot.

[Vicki Dixon]

now i know you have a Made in Canada store...we even have a Made In Oregon shop...I like the placement of the building in your shot

[Sharon]

Looks like a lovely shop. Great find and capture.

[bkb in the city]

@titam That is so true

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks Ann

[🍁April 🍁]

Great subject for the challenge...I'm doing this too!

[bkb in the city]

@vickisfotos Thanks Vicki. It is nice to have shops like this around

[bkb in the city]

@tesnonian Thanks Sharon

[Darlene]

What a great photo for the challenge, Brian and for the economy of Canada. It is hard to find things made in America and the stores that sell products made in America do not usually say so or name the store as this one.

[bkb in the city]

@batavia Thanks April It has been fun so far

[bkb in the city]

@darsphotos It is nice to have this store around

[summerfield]

nice way to get inspired, brian. the word list does make you think out of the box sometimes. i've seen a few stores like this in toronto and niagara falls but imagine my dismay sometimes to find an item i wanted to buy only to see in the bottom that it is made in china or india.

[Diane]

Very nice photo!

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Hmm maybe I will have to go back and take a closer look at this one

[bkb in the city]

@eudora Thanks Diane

[PasadenaRose]

Cool little store.
I never occurred to me that "Made in (fill in the blank)" was a problem for other countries too, but of course that makes perfect sense. It's nearly impossible for us to find products made in the USA.
I suppose one thing Canada will always have is maple syrup. Mmmmm.

[Wendy Bowden]

Terrific shot

[bkb in the city]

@wenbow Thanks Wendy
