Good Morning #Canada
I was in My local hardware store yesterday and saw that they had pallets of salt piled high. Just as spring is on the brink of pushing another winter from our memory, the salt mines have apparently turned the corner on earlier supply chain issues. Upon returning home my curiosity, and a lack of having anything important to do in #Retirement, prompted me to look at sources of road salt. I kinda knew it was mined in Ontario, because of Windsor Salt in (checks notes) Windsor. But I was surprised that Canada was a salt powerhouse in terms of production, and that the largest salt mine in the world is in Goderich, Ontario. More accurately, over 540 metres below the prettiest town in Ontario and extending 3.7km under Lake Huron.#CanadaIsAwesome #NeedsSalt #Geology

https://youtu.be/Xt7GzKiAqBs@paulbusch Prettiest town in Ontario might be overselling Goderich a bit
There is an impressive amount of infrastructure on the east shore of Lake Huron - and also some of the nicest freshwater beaches in the world.
We used to have a cottage in your neck of the woods, just on Woodlands Avenue in Sandy Cove.

https://youtu.be/Xt7GzKiAqBs@paulbusch there's an old "Mighty Machines" (kids show) about the Goderich salt mines. It's on YouTube afaik.

Very close, maybe 15 minutes north of us. We frequent the Sandy Cove Diner which is the local hangout for the retirement community there. Great comfort food.
