  • It doesn’t make much sense to remove “Provincial Park” when there are so many specific variations when you go further down to regional, municipal, city, community, etc. parks and they have a bunch of very specific (and often unrelated) park categories. Here are a few that are near me:

    • Park
    • Ecological Park
    • Memorial Park
    • City Park (none of which are near a city, run by a city, or even a municipality)
    • Hiking Area
    • Playground


  • That would make sense if we used English (US), but we use English (CA). Just a brief check of the parks in my area shows all the national parks are labeled “National Park”, the provincial parks are almost all “State Park[s]” with the occasional “Park”, and the regional parks have no consistent or logical pattern but I counted at least 5 different park labels.


  • I listened to an interview with someone high up at LD (can’t remember their title) and it was quite interesting hearing the logistics. Certain products (like holiday decorations) get ordered over a year out so they’re harder to switch out, but it sounds like most other stuff goes up for renewal around this time so we’ll see more non-American stuff by late spring. I also found it interesting they were mentioning they’re really interested in sourcing more from Japan (where there aren’t Canadian options) since the Yen is so low and they make a lot of good, cool, quality stuff that historically was too expensive.
