Canadian Artist Bruce Thomas sets out on a cross-Canada tour in search of answers for his Canadian PULSE Landscape Project. A work in progress, Thomas challenges the Canadian historical landscape perspective and uncovers a new approach to traditional landscape painting through the eyes of Canada’s growing multi-cultural society. Traveling across Canada, Thomas interviews hundreds of Canadians and documents their perspective on what defines the quintessential Canadian Landscape.

I met three women in Montreal, originally from China, who co-owned a grocery store together. Their dreams were inspiring.
I parked the car and rented a Bixi rent-a-bike and rode around past the Expo 67 complex. The residences they built were the vision of how people would live and work together in the future. Convergence will define how our cities will move and grow.
What is the best urban planning idea you have heard of?
