This Canada Day, buy (RED) in the fight against AIDS
June 30, 2013 by · Leave a Comment
EDMONTON, AB, Jun 30, 2013/ Troy Media/ – This Canada Day, expect to see people, places and things, the entire country really, covered in red. Why?
Because while the colour is most associated with Canada, given our flag and the Maple Leaf, it’s also the organizational colour of a charity and a trademark called (RED)™, whose name was inspired by the fact the colour is also recognized as a colour for emergency.
The (RED)™ project is the brainchild of U2 lead singer Bono and Bobby Shriver, American activist, politician, attorney and member of the Kennedy family. According to the organization, it was conceived in the spring of 2006 as a way of engaging the consumer and the private sector, predominately the world’s “most iconic” brands and identifiable organizations, in the fight against AIDS.

Canada may be tops when it comes to beer, but when it comes to high-tech gadgets that open the bottle; we can’t discount the good folks from the land down under. As a follow-up to their flagship model,Opena Case for iPhone 5 by Annex Products is a 2-in-1 iPhone case and bottle opener.
Now maybe it’s not something most of us would use very day, or maybe you would. When your beer doesn’t come with a screw top or in a can, it’s nice to know that you won’t be begging to borrow a bottle opener or taking a chip out of the counter or table.
In a nutshell, Opena is a strong sturdy iPhone shell-type case, made of tough polycarbonate that has a built-in slide out stainless steel bottle opener.

Let’s face it; we never seem to have enough juice left in our batteries when we really need it. And this becomes even more critical in emergency situations when you consider last year’s Hurricane Sandy, the tornados in Oklahoma and the recent flooding in Calgary and Southern Alberta, where one never knows if or when electricity would be available to recharge our batteries.
