CN TOWER- 50 YEARS OLD-APRIL 3 2025- A CANADIAN BEACON FOR ALL

 For anyone living in the GTA, we know our directions by the visibility of the CN Tower.

!975 was the banner year. Public were able to visit in 1976. The history of the building of the tower can be researched online. 

Along with Niagara Falls, a visit to the CN Tower is a must.

What is important is it looks in all direction with its circular shape. To the West, to the East, to the South and to the North. It is a Canadian icon.

Our 45th Anniversary day trip to Harbour Front and cruise by the Islands. Photos from the boat.






A plane landing at the Island Airport. No it did not hit the tower.


Some photos from the boat of the skyline.




Downtown to a musical on King and there it is the CN Tower.

Another downtown shot of the Tower.





The Toronto skyline from Mimico with friends for a day out with lunch.

The real picture I need to take is one from the top of the tower. So if anyone is visiting me then it would be a good time to go up the tower and accomplish that feat.

Anyway, happy birthday CN Tower.

IT'S NO APRIL FOOL'S JOKE- THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS-BUT CANADA WILL GET THROUGH IT

 No matter how hard I try to stay positive the threat of all that is happening in the world and the nonsense heading our way from America has made me nervous.

Does anyone else feel that the nightmare is fake and just want to wake up?

I saw a wonderful clip by the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador- Mr. Fleury. He basically said Canada did not ask for these trade war threats.

He did say in his 15 minute interview with CNN that he has never seen Canadians rallying around Canada and each other as there are doing now.

During the Pandemic we rallied but not like this. This is even better.

So maybe the threat has made us stronger and not weaker or scared. 

I can do it. We can do it. And we will.

So no joke we will do it.
