Have you been to Canada?

Question

Which parts of Canada have you visited or lived in? What are your impressions? Thank you!

Answer 1

Lived in 3 provinces, BC, Alberta, and Nova Scotia. Visited all provinces, and none of the territories!

Drove across Canada many times, flew across many times.

Love it! Vast country with many facets of diversity. Depends what you are looking for dictates where you should go see.
(ex. You can't go crab fishing in Alberta, however, you may visit one of the largest supplies of dinosaur fossils!)


PS. This is my second draft of this answer. I had a nice long, informative answer for you, then I clicked on something wrong, and it went buh-bye, so tired as I am, you got the short version with tons of websites! Sorry! Any further questions, feel free to email me! Sigh!

Answer 2

I'm living in Edmonton, Alberta. It's an okay city, although there are some bad drivers around. The biggest mall in the world is here so that's cool. People are generally nice. The winter's can be a bit brutal at times and you can expect to see snow in spring sometimes. It was 16 degrees celsius here today so not too bad.

Overall I'd say this a good place to live. When our hockey team the Oiler's are doing good, the bars can be a good time. Another good time would be the Capital Ex event, which is like a carnival that opens July 19 is pretty cool too. Also if you come down, you should check out whyte ave, lots of bars and interesting things down there.

Answer 3

It depends what you are looking for.
I live near Toronto. This is a gorgeous cosmopolitan city where you can see tons of things, eat original ethnic foods of nearly every country of the world and drink fabulous local wine and beer. Then there is Niagara Falls close by with Niagara region becoming a really good wine area.
Approx. 250 km north of Toronto there is Algonquin Parc. Beautiful for short and long hikes and camping.
Approx. 1.5 hours drive to the West of Algonquin Parc starts Georgian Bay which you can enjoy on a cruise through thousands of islands.

Going to Quebec you should prepare to at least smatter some French. Quebec city is beautiful, Montreal a blast for shopaholics. The Gaspesie reminds partially of Brittany and is just too nice as a vacation spot.

Vancouver was beautiful. Calgary and Edmonton were extremely windy, so I didn't see much.

Answer 4

I grew up, and still live in BC. I have been all over British Columbia, been to Calgary, and Edmonton, and Toronto - and outskirts.

In BC you can fish, water ski, Ski, tonnes of sight seeing, fabulous restaurants etc. Has everything you could ever want. Kelowna is about a 4 hour drive a way. Very beautiful drive. Lots of winerey's to tour - can even take a train tour. The drive to Calgary is amazing. We just came from Vancouver to where we live (about an 8 hour drive,) We saw about 50 deer in the span of an hour. We have left the big city (Vancouver), last year to live a more rural life in central BC and much prefer the slower pace (no traffic.)

Good luck. Good choice

Answer 5

I have been in many parts of Canada. I recently visited Banff National Park which was so beautiful I could have stayed forever. Calgary is a very nice city. I visited Toronto and loved it there. The people were very nice. I visited Quebec, and it was OK, but I was not as comfortable there because I don't speak French. It is a nice place though.

Answer 6

The best parts of Canada are close to the Ocean:
Halifax
Cape Breton
Prince Edward Island
Vancouver
Victoria
The stuff in between is pretty dull.

Answer 7

I lived in Canada my whole life and I love it. I've been in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and PEI and they're all great places with beautiful scenery.

Answer 8

I liked the Northern Territories 5times better than regular Canada.

Answer 9

Jusat for few days I had a business trip to Toronto, oh my God Hell is much better!

During 24 Hours fire trucks, police and ambulance running all over city; how people are living there?

I changed five hotels and motels, all of them Bedbugs climbing of the walls! I broght a million of them to LA! What can I do, it is impossible to avoide them.

Must of places and stores are govern by Goverment, these stores NEVER return the change, and if you ask, Toronto Police is there to arrest you as Harassment of Crown or Queen, what that means I don'r know.

Subway is too dirty and bad smell like **** is everwhere, you can't breathe.

Foods are not controlled; I got a burger from KingBurger at Bloor Street and Bathurst, it was smell like a dead fish, as soon as I complaint a security kicked me out!

Night clubs too, everywhere is security, you can't talk with a girl!

SARS killing people, and Toxic mold was in a condominium that I went to for business at 456 College Street:

Answer 10

Edmonton has the roughest streets of any North American City, Ask Citizen North.
(not mean, just potholes and broken pavement)

Whyte Avenue is a Riot, all 5.5 blocks of it. (including the 7-11 east of the tracks at 1004 street.)
