CANADA DAY ARM CANDY

We’re living in the midst of an incredible moment of national and civic pride. Donald Trump’s predatory comments about the future of Canada as a 51st state have rallied Canadians in ways we haven’t seen before.

Of course, Canadians and Torontonians have always been proud, and rightfully so. What’s different now is that we’re louder about saying it.

To that end, Toronto Life has launched a very limited run of high-quality tote bags, featuring our new logo. They’re Canadian made—right here in Toronto—and they evince pride and style in equal measure.

Since we’re in a celebratory, patriotic mood, we’ve cut the price from $25 to $20. As we head into Canada Day weekend, there’s no better time to buy one. You can find them here. I hope you’ll consider it.
