Let me take you back to 1993 in Toronto Canada.
McDonald’s had 23 outlets in Skydome and guess who they employed? 1600 Teenagers aged 16 to 18 years old.
These jobs were not meant to be careers, they were a way for teens to earn some money for the summer and post secondary school.

@MilHistNow It’s true! Can’t imagine that happening today, tho.

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

According to popular legend, Heinz Canada pulled this 1980 ketchup ad because the music brought back painful memories for WW1 vets.

That may or may not be true, but I do remember that the song would bring tears to my grandfather's eyes.
