It didn’t seem very Canadian. For Expo 67, this usually modest and frugal country spent vast amounts of money to create islands out of the St. Lawrence River and build an array of huge buildings, all to show off #Canada to the world. But even if uncharacteristic, Expo 67 was a coming out for a new Canada. Back in 1967, the fair defined the country’s celebration of its 100th birthday (or, more accurately, the centennial of its current political structure) in a way that no single event will mark the 150th this Saturday. And like today, 1967 was a time when Canada was reimagining itself. Its now iconic maple leaf flag was then only 2 years old, and a committee was recommending that “O Canada” succeed “God Save the Queen” as the official anthem. In popular lore, the summer of 1967 has become the summer of love. But for @ニューヨーク・タイムズ reporter Ian Austen, then an 11-year-old in Ontario, it was the summer of Expo. And he wasn't the only Canadian kid counting down the days before his family headed to Montreal. At a time when Canada’s population was 20 million, more than 50 million people visited the fair in 6 months. It seemed as if the entire country joined the world and made its way to Expo. @avelkaim photographed the Biosphere, which housed the United States pavilion at Expo 67.
