Canada is beautiful.

It serves as a natural attraction for people like us.

I started this thread because there is SO MUCH that I'd like to learn about Canada ...

It's only -10*C today. I can do that anytime. Almost ready to break a sweat! It's when the windchill kicks in and -40* that you really begin to feel it.

I can tell you that both BC and Yukon are beautiful, even with the bark beetle killing trees by the jillions. The people are super friendly, but in the Yukon they will pass over double yellow lines in a blind curve. And BC really stands for Bring Cash. Two years ago we paid over $5 (Canadian) a gallon for regular gas. If we didn't have about 30 more states down here to visit we would go back in a heartbeat...

Depends on where you are, Toronto is the same latitude as Boston so there are plenty of places colder than Toronto in the U.S.

Vancouver is probably the mildest city in the country as far as weather and likely the best if you like outdoor activities.

Always liked Alberta and BC, especially VI, but now that I need a passport for me and each member of my family, not interested. We've got too much to see in the USA still.

Based on the documentary series "Southpark" Canadians are funny looking with bi-sected heads.





Ok, I got my token joke in.

I would love to visit Canada. There's much I admire about Canada and much yet to learn.

Sometimes, when the political stupidity in my neck of the swamp gets too damned embarrassing, I fantasize about migrating northward. I just need to learn to speak Canadian first grin

So far, I haven't met a Canadian I didn't like (and the women I've met from there were cute). wink

It sure is one hell of a nice place to be born isn’t it? Too bad most people here take that for granted. I wish they could see how life is in other, less fortunate parts of the world. The things we sometime complain about are really trivial.

It’s good to be born free.
