This full-page color advertisement is a warm, beautifully composed piece: photographs of landscapes, food, and arts alongside a signed illustration by Bastien, all under the inviting tagline "Drop in Neighbor — Canada's Friendly French Province." The reverse is the conversation piece: an ad for Dacthal, a weed-killing chemical the EPA banned via emergency order in 2024, making this double-sided page an unexpectedly fascinating piece of agricultural history.
