If you ask to see if something's in stock at a Canadian Tire (brand name) store, they can check the inventory of other Canadian Tire stores, but they always call for you to have someone physically check, since their inventory system is usually wrong. It's saved us some driving around to find out the inventory is wrong. Nice customer service, though.

CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener & Area) isn't a museum. It's an art show that takes place something like every two years. Yes, the sculpture garden is in Cambridge, which would be the "Area" part of the "Kitchener & Area" title.

Grind any axes lately?
Maybe you should read this from the National Parks Service:
http://www.nps.gov/stli/historyculture/the-immigrants-statue.htm

"Between 1886 and 1924, almost 14 million immigrants entered the United States through New York. The Statue of Liberty was a reassuring sign that they had arrived in the land of their dreams. To these anxious newcomers, the Statue's uplifted torch did not suggest "enlightenment," as her creators intended, but rather, "welcome." Over time, Liberty emerged as the "Mother of Exiles," a symbol of hope to generations of immigrants."

Symbols can have different meanings for different people.
