        <content>So now that there's a Western Canada board, the Canada board now covers only the Atlantic Provinces, and the territories. Here's a humble suggestion. Why not include the territories in Western Canada and rename the Canada board Atlantic Provinces or Atlantic Canada. It would make better geographical sense.

And if you don't choose to do that could you at least update the tagline of the Canada board which is still "Tips for Dining, Eating and Food Shopping in Canada (oustide of Ontario and Quebec)"

Thank you for your consideration,

      <content>All of that (well, sort of that) is on my wishlist of things to do when we re-align boards. </content>

      <content>Here is how Canada might be partitioned for purposes of this board: 

Newfoundland/Labrador; Maritimes (PEI, NB, NS); Quebec; Ontario; Prairies;  BC/Alberta, and The Territories (NWT, Yukon and Nunavit.)

Oh, wait a minute. 

A good bit of Alberta is Prairie; a deal of Quebec could be considered Maritime (and vice-versa)  and that former province is claiming parts of Labrador. For sure there is a serious divide between Toronto and the rest of Ontario - I don't know if the same could be said of Montreal and the rest of Quebec or not. 

You may also wish to split Buffalo and Toronto into a separate unit and, while you're doing that, do the same for Windsor/Detroit - both in spite of new travel restrictions - and look into a few other frontier districts as well.

This winter will be long and I'm sure that all this will be sorted by spring.

      <content>I'd like to have a "Canada" board for pan-Canadian food issues: food recalls and scandals, the good and bad about major Canadian chains and brands etc. We've tried to discuss "President's Choice" brands, but they get shifted to general boards where they are meaningless to all the US posters outside Buffalo and some other border cities that get a lot of Canadian products. </content>
