Some fun Canadian cities.

[HEyHEY]

Okay..I'm bored and some one asked about Canadian cities so, I posted my two favs. First Vancouver. Which is just plain beautiful really interesting and very Liberal. It has a lot of cool nooks and crannies, as well as a huuuggge cultural diversity.

Then Quebec city....an easy town to fall in love in, amazing, you feel like you're in europe. REally old buildings, nice people, great food and rockin nightlife. Liberal in a French Canadian kind of way.






both great places!

1. Niagara Falls, Ontario

Interesting tourist traps including one about people who have gone over the falls in barrels, and a ride over a whirlpool.

8. A really creepy factoid

A family friend is a trooper there and the whirlpool is where the bodies pop up after they've gone over the falls. They always show up at the same time -- two or three days after the person has gone missing. There have been times when folks have "staged" a Falls suicide and if the cops don't find them in the Whirlpool at the specified time they start to look elsewhere.

Just a little bit of creepy Falls trivia.

2. Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario

Cultural throwback in the heart of wine district.

3. Toronto

was fun in the SARS days...we had it to ourselves. Gananoque has some beautiful places to stay (believe it or not Best Western is nice) and a casino. I am from the states, but live near Kingston now, a college town full of funky stuff. I give all of Ontario 2 thumbs up!!!

4. I loved Kingston when I was there

7. Tour Train!

My husband is from Kingston. He actually hates it there and has never been back, but we do love going up to Vancouver a few times a year. It's so beautiful and we have a lot of friends there.

The Smugglers played at our wedding, by the way.

10. Tour train?

Is that the train that goes cross-country? Can you get off anywhere? How much does it cost?

[flamingyouth]

11. Nah, a cheesy little thing in Kingston

[HEyHEY]

13. yeah there is a train like that

Via Rail

[HEyHEY]

12. haha!

I got a free t-shirt from a smuggler's show! I answered a hockey question!

[flamingyouth]

15. Was Nardwuar the Human Serviette there?

Sounds like something he'd dream up!

[HEyHEY]

16. Nah..

It was the Smugglers, The Handson Brothers, and the Spitfires...."hockey night!"

5. Halifax

Heaven on earth. Great pubs, Celtic music, lots of students, right by the ocean, friendliest folks you'll find anywhere. And I say that as a Newfoundlander.

6. Me gusta mucho Vancouver!

I also like to lapse into 3rd grade Spanish for no apparent reason.

9. I love Canada

someday... someday Maggie is moving there...

[HEyHEY]

14. Too bad Yankee fans aren't welcome here..

[NightTrain]

17. Made my first trip to Montreal last month...

...and loved it! I plan to return ASAP.

[HEyHEY]

20. that's an awsome town

[SmileyBoy]

18. Put Winnipeg on there!!!

Jeez, HEyHEY, you ALWAYS forget Winnipeg!!!:-(:-(:-(

[HEyHEY]

19. Well, I only have spent a total of three hours there

And I didn't get laid and couldn't find a drinkin' hole, so I really can't judge if it's fun based on the couple hours I spent smokin out front of the train station!

[SmileyBoy]

21. Ya gotta check out the different art galleries and stop by The Forks.

Winnipeg has a LOT more than your average city of 710,000.

[Darth_Kitten]

22. hey, northwest, you from the Peg?

:hi: I am!!!

we have a lot of fun here :bounce: :)

[HEyHEY]

23. nah but he's an avid Peg Backer

[SmileyBoy]

24. Nope, Fargo. But I used to have a summer cabin in the Whiteshells.

As a young kid in Fargo, my family would spend six weeks in the summer and a week in the winter in and near the Peg every year for many years. I know how to get around the Peg almost as well as Minneapolis, the city I lived in from 3rd grade to tech school. My family would still continue to go up there every summer after that. after Fargo and Minnepaolis, Winnipeg is like my third home.

I got to college in Fargo now, and hopefully I'll get to WPG for a few days this winter (even tho the weather will SUCK).

And BTW, I'm a HARDCORE Jets fan, and I'm supporting the grassroots drive to get NHL hockey BACK to Winnipeg!!!:-)
