Canada...

[cmM]

I just got back from London, On last night. Now I'm at work, pulling my hair out. It was my first trip to Canada, and I enjoyed it very much. It was kind of hard coming back. I didn't get a chance to take many pictures as I was a little busy having fun, enjoying the sunshine and drinking :P .

Either way, the point of this thread is:

Â*•If you're Canadian...... I ENVY YOU !
•If you're USAer and you've never been to Canada..... pack your stuff and take a trip. You won't wanna come back.

I'll post some of the pictures I took later today when I get home.

I loved my short time in Montreal.

If Canada ever gets a third season, I'll be there. But with 10 months of winter and 2 months of lousy snowshoe weather...

Chicago, and Illinois in general is pretty damned flat...
When I was drving from London to Port Stanley it was full of little hills, and pretty cool views. Spices things up so much more.
I also saw a canadian RWB on the side of the street hopping around :P

That's a really nice picture, jonnyhorizon

It has been 10 years next month since I visited Canada. Went to Yukon Territory. Very beautiful country, with a very pleasant population.

I love heading to Canada for my hockey vacations. Thus far i been to Vancouver and Toronto. I fell in love with Vancouver while i was there about a 1 1/2 years ago very scenic and i wish i had a chance to head up to Whistle but that will want till next time. But don't get me wrong Toronto was great but bloody cold this past March. I just hope there is a NHL next season so i can hit Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa.
I do admit those Canadians Do Love there Hockey.

I live in Canada

ENVY AWAY!!!!

[Canuck]

Yes, been there done that. I must say I really like Canada a lot! Now any Canuck should know the relevance of that interesting avatar I have. It is just too bad what happened there. I hear it is a truly great city! I have done a lot of the US/Canada border from Buffalo up into Canada to Ottawa/Hull. I'm hoping one day to see some of the other coast like BC and that way. Sounds like a great holiday, doesn't it?

Any takers?

[cmM]

ENVY AWAY!!!!

I spent every summer of my childhood up through Adulthood until about three years ago in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, Ontario Canada...

...and can I just say that if you dropped a neutron bomb there and took out all the neuvo riche with there noisy speedboats and jetskis.... the place would once again become a paradise on earth. :wink:

(I'll never understand the motivation behind finding an idylic natural wonder like that and filling it with noise and pollution rather than enjoying it as it is :( ??? )

Anyway.. that part of my life is gone.. so this summer it is off to NewFoundland! :shock: (fewer noisy speedboats! )

[ssim]

so this summer it is off to NewFoundland! :shock: (fewer noisy speedboats! )

That is the last remaining province that I have yet to visit. I hope to get that done this summer.

I spent some time in a nature park in Northern Alberta last fall. It would be so nice if people would leave these areas as they found them. How did a McDonalds coffee cup get there when the nearest one was probably a hundred miles.

I agree wholeheartedly on the speedboat thing. Makes kayaking a little rough every now and then.

Enjoy your trip.

For the past 12 or 13 years, I've been spending a week trout fishing in the British Columbia High Country each year. The Kamloops trout are fantastic fighters, and it's not unusual to catch a 10 pounder. The scenery is great, the people are great, and nothing tops the call of Loon, especially when it's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I don't even bother fishing anywhere else now. Alberta's not bad, either, eh?

[cmM]

, eh?
ROFLMAO !!!!!
That is the coolest word in the canadian language !

[bctrout]

cmM,

If you like "eh," you've got to listen to some of Bob and Doug McKenzie's albums. Those guys are really cool.

[alsmith]

I live in BC....

ENVY AWAY AGAIN!!!!

HAHAHAH

[Conk]

Sounds like everyone is getting pumped for the up comming Canada Day holiday. :D
One thing I don't understand is why do so many people say that Canadians say eh? That kind of sounds like duh. :? What we canadians actually say is ay, not eh. Know what I mean ay?

cmM,

C'mon man! That's embarrassing. :oops:

C'mon now don't try to mask it up. You're all about "eh"
I saw friggin T-shirts with the word "EH" written accross the chest as big as the t-shirt.
You use is and you're proud of it, eh ?

[Canuck]

That is the last remaining province that I have yet to visit. I hope to get that done this summer.


You've done Nunavut? What's it like there?

[IanD]

Know what I mean ay?
eh?

[CyberDyneSystems]

I don't think Nunavut is a Province..'eh?


I'll know I've been to the end of the earth when I make it to Tuktoyaktuk ! 8)

Speaking of Tuktoyaktuk, does anyone know what it means in English?

I do believe it is...it is East of the Yukon...it is a lot further North than I thought. Here's a pic: http://www.gov.nu.ca/Nunavut/English/about/nunavutmap.jpg
It has its own premier so that tells me it is its own province and so ti must be a province.

Tuktoyaktuk is roughly "resembling a caribou" and ok, so I cheated and googled it.

[CyberDyneSystems]

... I beleive they are still calling it a "territory"... it hs its own premeir because it is in fact set uo to be much more like it's own soverein nation than a Province...

[Canuck]

This is possible...the jury is out, and at any rate it was part of the NW Territories till they made Nunavut. I am googling "Nunavut" to find out. No luck so far and it is 2240 here. Chat at you tomorrow, or whenever in the not too distant future.
