Hockey Night in Canada

Okay, time for a little nationalism. Cousins Rob and Sandy Macdougall came down to Maine from Montreal today, Rob very worried that he wouldn't be able to catch the Stanley Cup Finals series on TV here in the US of A. But our Brooklin friend and neighbor, Bill Mayher, ex-varsity University of New Hampshire, has widescreen HD, and since NBC has deigned to broadcast the games in the US we were able to watch Vancouver Canucks beat the Boston Bruins 1-0 tonight: Rob and I are the only Vancouver fans in the great State of Maine. 
               To celebrate, Autoliterate presents a Chevrolet Maple Leaf, photo courtesy of our Alberta/Saskatchewan correspondent, Alex Emond. It's a fire truck from the town of Abbey, Saskatchewan that has outlasted several dozen Dalmatians. 
               Almost all Canadian built GMC pickups prior to 1953 used the Chevrolet 216 engine, not the 228 and 248 GMC type placed in U.S. trucks. The Canadian Chevrolet using the larger GMC 228 and 248 was the "Maple Leaf".
