In photoelectric cells. In the production of electricity and electronics. In the manufacturing of infrared lamps. What is not widely known, is that, like Quartz, Cesium has it's own exact frequency that is generated by it. It's so unchanging that it is used to regulate many types of clocks and the "World Time".

And in Quebec (for french speaking radio) it's 65% daytime french singing music CHOM 97.7 FM was originaly a bilingual radio The Quebec law/rule made it so that it had to choose between the 2 languages and ended up choosing English not to be bothered by this rule

Mount Logan in Quebec, Canada is a challenging destination for advanced ski mountaineers: Mount Logan, Quebec The southern slopes of Mount Logan are considered intermediate, but can be challenging for advanced skiers. The mountain is large and quiet, and the snowpack is often shallow. The 35 km trail from Saint-Octave-de-l'Avenir to the summit takes two to three days to hike.

And Mt. Logan was named for Wolverine

The 35% Canadian content on radio was born from the mistaken belief that little Canadian content would get played without the rule, but to many people's surprise, there's been so many popular Canadian songs that radio stations rarely get close to that 35% minimum.

There was a CBC special, hosted by Mike Holmes about Canadian inventions, such as the zero g suit for pilots, even History Channel's Pawn Stars mentions that fact, too. Seasons greetings.

McLobster is not a thing all over Canada. It was actually available only in Atlantic Canada and the New England states with happen to be in the US.

[@jordannoonan3015]

McLobster is an east coast thing. But I would gladly drive 2 and a half hours to my closest McD's to get one

[@cassdoesart]

The reason why Nickelback gets so much hate is because of a comment that the lead singer made about the band Stone Sour.

[@chrisd4228]

Nickelback's "Dark Horse" album is just plain fun.

[@eagle1onoteagle10]

[@Stewart682]

[@amyg7047]

In Canada, "sorry" has two distinct meanings, one is an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, an apology, but the other is an expression of empathy or compassion, "I am so sorry you are going through that", but we just say, "so sorry". That said, I have caught myself apologising to my Google when it says, "I don't understand", because I wasn't clear enough on my question to the inanimate object I own.
