Surely this has to be included as a Canadian "tartan". Hands up all those who don't have one hanging up in their closet, anyone?

Well, since you ask, I don't.

Jock I'd send you a lumber jacket but I'm pretty sure you'd never wear it!

That is very kind of you Grant, but considering my recent history with trees I think, on this rare occasion, that I agree with you.

Looks like one our MPPs beat you to it with the Official Ontario Tartan.

Also, it looks like Scottish Imports of Hamilton is now stocking the Official Ontario Tartan

Is that not the tartan of Clan Macintosh's Toffee?? I gave up a good set of teeth for them! And, yup I got one. Or more.

Yep, it looks like he beat me (note to self get white hose) still it`s good to see our MPPs showing their pride. Edit; some research shows the kilted gentleman as Bill Murdoch of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound constituency. It was he who sponsored the bill to set aside April 6th as Tartan Day in Ontario. Thank you Mr Murdoch.

Interesting quote from Scottish Imports website:

Generally, the 13 ounce tartan is preferred for most kilts.

Really?
