Much like a puck gliding over an air hockey table, these pods carrying passengers would travel through the tubes at speeds topping out over 700 mph. The Hyperloop concept was proposed by billionaire inventor Elon Musk and it could revolutionize mass transit as we know it, shortening travel times on land and reducing environmental damage in the process.

This revolutionary form of transit aims to improve the quality of life of users of current transport systems and to stimulate trade. Travelers will benefit from the convenience and frequency of the Montreal Metro System at a speed that is 20% faster than a plane and 200% faster than a train! Sign us up! These are exciting times for innovation and the future of transportation in Canada.

Aside from sporting clothing in an array of green, people and regions also participate in other traditions. Here is how St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated across Canada, from coast to coast:

St.John`s: In the Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador, St.Patrick`s Day is an official public holiday!

Toronto: For twenty-eight years, Toronto has been festively marking the holiday with a parade that weaves through the streets of the downtown core.  It brings together residents from across the GTA and is held on the Sunday before St.Patrick’s Day.

Montreal: Much like Toronto, Montreal also has a parade. It is organized by the United Irish Societies of Montreal and has been taking place since 1823 (that adds up to 192 years)!

Calgary: Calgary has a different kind of parade –not one with marching bands and colorfully decorated floats. Instead, runners dressed in costumes dash through the city  in what is know as the Original St. Patrick’s Day Race, organized by the Calgary Roadrunners . 

Vancouver: As its neighbours to the West, Vancouver also has a parade that first took place eleven years ago!
