Torontoist's father (yes, our collective father) has the poster for the 1968 edition of the Canadian National Exhibition (15 Aug.-Sept.2) framed on his wall. A psychedelic time capsule densely jammed with illustrations of the people, characters, and other icons that defined its era, the poster reaches back to a time when The Ex was (or at least made an effort to appear to be) relevant. As the 130th CNE, forty years later, winds down this weekend—by giving a good chunk of downtown a taste of what it's like to live near the island airport, if the island airport were in Qatar—what better time to reflect on our own sein und zeit?
