Good morning, it’s Tuesday, April 8th. On this day in 1975, Canada created the Metric Commission to start the switch from imperial to metric. Happy birthday to the metric system! Canada went the distance — in kilometres!

My backyard yesterday. Lark Harbour hit 19.5°C, the province’s hot spot. St. Paul’s and Bay Roberts reached 19°C, while St. John’s International saw 17.6°C—its earliest 17+°C day on record. The previous earliest was March 31, 1962. A remarkably warm March 21st across much of Newfoundland.

Tonight the hits from March 1967. Canada prepped for Expo '67, the Beatles topped the charts, and Buffalo Springfield hit with a song sparked by L.A.'s Sunset Strip riots, not the Vietnam War; it became a counterculture anthem. Tune in to Radio Bay Roberts at 9:00.

In Germany. 100,000 Germans were asked if they would ever consider owning Elon Musk's car and 94% said absolutely not.
Also, Tesla was kicked out of the Vancouver International Auto Show, that runs through the weekend, supposedly out of safety concerns.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Joseph Robert O'Donnell, a Beatles and music memorabilia dealer, bought a unique piece of Beatles history at an auction: a piece of leftover toast left on a plate by George Harrison back in 1962. We don't know what he paid for it, but the last time it was sold it went for $1600. #Beatles #toast

Just a heads-up—Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday,” is this Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Lent begins on Wednesday, March 5. Do you give up something for Lent?

Watching the sunrise today on Signal Hill, in the cold morning air, reminds us how precious life is, how valuable our freedoms are, and how much the people we love make it all worthwhile. Good morning from the eastern edge of the western world.
