So, we hear some of our neighbours from Michigan are heading north to Halifax and wondering how Canadians are going to react to their new “Lake America” sweatshirts. So, from COANS here, we would like to simply say — welcome to Canada! Come experience some good old-fashioned Maritime hospitality. Enjoy our incredible scenery, meet some of the friendliest people anywhere, have a feed of fresh Maritime lobster, and enjoy a cold one with a few of us Canadians along the way. You might even discover that despite everything going on between our two countries these days, Canadians and Americans still have a lot more in common than you might think. And you might just learn a thing or two from our perspective and why those sweatshirts may not go over that well. We hope when you head home, you go with great memories and a good feeling about us Canucks. Oh… and we’ll still be calling it Lake Ontario
