I plan to conjure Josephine Peary, "first lady of the Arctic," who looked utterly chic in her parka.
But I'll also be going "Canadian," with tall black boots ( Mountie-inspired?), skinny black pants tucked in, a First-Nations-inspired colorful tassel scarf, and my parka with a nipped-in waist.
**If the title to this post is confusing, it riffs on another Canadian staple--Canadian Tire: the country's go-to shop for tires. Every good Canadian knows that snow tires are part of a well-dressed car's winter wardrobe.

Enjoy! Send dispatches:).
Very strangely, today I left a comment on Wendy's post that referenced Canadian Tire...
Sounds like a perfect ensemble to represent your nation! I can't wait to see photos (I hope?)!
K.Line, that is uncanny. Am going over to Wendy's now to read it!
I love Cowichan sweaters!
So Westcoast...and boots as in the Mounted Police ...the RCMP are a very handsome lot!
I have all season radials...but we take the transit or walk as our city has no snow clearing equipment!!
No snow-clearing equipment?! When I lived in Ottawa, the sidewalk clearers rode little motorized sidewalk-clearing machines. It was a state of art!
But the Pneu Canadien is oh-so-much-more than tires! Just last week I bought a mini bag of potato chips and a garage door opener and a cat toy from the store at Church and Yonge.
