One of my daughter's friends name (the son of my friend whom I met through our kids) is Justin, and I first heard about a show called Justin Time. I think it was the jingle that she first told me about.
I tied it to (in error) a series of books in the juvenile fiction category about a third grade boy, named Justin Case, by Rachel Vail, (followed by a series about his younger sister, Elizabeth).
Now, on a search for tourist activities in Ottawa, I found on the Diefenbunker website in a the Museum at Home tab that Justin Case was a Canadian mascot for the Civil Defence!
While listening to 99pi this week, I discovered a company calledInteraction Research Corporation that makes safety cards for planes that are called Just in Case. (TRIGGER warning: the producer and Roman Mars are unapologetic for interfering with the potential safety of thousands of passengers by the theft of 300 cards.)
Also, of note, was the connection with PM Mackenzie King and a man named Igor Gouzenko who defected after working as a cipher clerk and spy at the Soviet embassy. The Royal Commission created by PM King investigated espionage in Canada, and was a starting event of the Cold War.
