Mon apologies, Mike... you will be getting a special "Luxury Suite" for
the voyage...
You are assigned to establish the Mars colony of "Nouveau Canada"...
How would you design such an outpost, what would you include...???
For starters, a recreation of Expo '67 aka "Man And His World" would be
nice, it's the very coolest thing that ever happened in Canada, we
visited it when I was a kid... it was AWESOME...

"Expo 67, the 1967 International and Universal Exposition, was a
landmark event held in Montreal, Canada, marking Canada's centennial and
showcasing "Man and His World" with innovative architecture and
technology, attracting over 50 million visitors...
It is considered to be one of the most successful World's Fairs of the
20th century with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations
participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a
world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day...
The fair was visited by many of the most notable people at the time,
including Canada's monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, Lyndon B. Johnson,
Princess Grace of Monaco, Jacqueline Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy,
Ethiopia's emperor Haile Selassie, Charles de Gaulle, Bing Crosby, Harry
Belafonte, Maurice Chevalier, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Marlene
Dietrich...
Musicians like Thelonious Monk, Grateful Dead, Tiny Tim, the Tokens and
Jefferson Airplane entertained the crowds...
Despite its successes, there were problems: Front de libération du
Québec militants had threatened to disrupt the exhibition, but were
inactive during this period...
Vietnam war protesters picketed during the opening day, April 28.
American President Lyndon B. Johnson's visit became a focus of war
protesters.,,
Threats that the Cuba pavilion would be destroyed by anti-Castro forces
were not carried out.
In June, the Arab–Israeli conflict in the Middle East flared up again in
the Six-Day War, which resulted in Kuwait pulling out of the fair in
protest to the way Western nations dealt with the war...
The president of France, Charles De Gaulle, caused an international
incident on July 24 when he addressed thousands at Montreal City Hall by
yelling out the words "Vive Montréal... Vive le Québec... Vive le Québec
Libre!"...
The most popular display of the exposition was the soaring Soviet Union
pavilion, which attracted about 13 million visitors. Rounding out the
top five pavilions (by attendance) were: Canada (11 million visitors),
the United States (9 million), France (8.5 million), and Czechoslovakia
(8 million)..."
