Kingston Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

We woke up early and headed straight to Kingston, to see Nigel’s family. On Saturday, we went to a really nice place to swim on Lake Ontario and went to Nigel’s place to relax and catch up with his mom, his sisters, Mallory and Marissa and his aunt Julie. Of course, we played the game pictionary that night, which is always fun. On Sunday, it was the big family party. All the family on Nigel’s mom side was there and even Sean made it there. It was really great to see everybody all in one place. Thank you everybody to come [View Full Entry]

Just a pic of my maple (i.e. the one that I tapped last year at maple syrup season). Then my batteries froze up and went flat, so there are no more pics! Spring is gradually sneaking in - today it's a mix of rain, freezing rain and snow. It's melting the snowbanks away bit by bit, and if it wasn't raining I'd probably be out looking for new spring shoots at the park. C'est la vie - hopefully it won't be raining on my next day off (some time in July). Hope all is well around the world with everyone. Hope [View Full Entry]

I don't dare go outside today - and it's not the -18C temperature (although that plays a farily large part in it). It's just that it hurts my eyes - everything is white and now the sun's out and I think if I go outside I won't be able to see to get back in again! So the snow hit - and there was a lot, but it was hardly a storm per se - no lightning or thunder, just lots of snow falling over a long period of time. There's lots in the news about accidents on the roads and [View Full Entry]

well, the geese are anyway. Apparently the Canada geese didn't see the news, as the biggest storm of the season is due to hit in the next hour or so. About 30-50cm (yes, CENTIMETRES) of snow is expected to fall tonight - although if it falls as freezing rain, then we could be looking at 1998 all over again, when most of the country was out of power for weeks. We've stocked up here on movies and treats, so we're all sorted (water, bah). Will email more if I survive the night (yes, I know I'm a drama queen). It's kind [View Full Entry]

Woohoo!

Hey everybody (random strangers)! I'm John, 20, and I'm currently living in a town not bloody listed on this website, so I put the closest town of Kingston. I live in Brockville, helping my grandparents at the moment (grandmother has Alzheimer's and grandfather has diabetes), working part-time at a place called Pizza Pizza, and just gotta complete some projects (mainly my theses) and then I'll be done my current studies. In a few months I hope to be on my way out West, though sometime around September I should be off to Europe, running around and meeting some penpals and [View Full Entry]

It is actually that cold
Bonjour! Comment allez-vous aujourd'hui? It's a cool day here in Brockville (around -10C or 14F) , with a good amount of snow on the ground. At the moment there is some sun out, but hopefully spring is just around the corner. My "travel" plans today will probably just be to go around downtown, research some things and try to help some people. Maybe I'll take some other photos of this grand place for all to see. See you!

yes, you're reading the right blog, not Tonya Todman's (for the benefit of the Aussies). I have found my Knifty Knitter and am already the proud owner of two hand-made alpaca beanies/toques, and am taking orders! I spent my day off checking the greenhouses, then visiting with a new friend downtown, just to see how much (or how little) downtown Kingston has changed. Then my friend Karen picked me up and we went for a brisk stroll through Lemoine Park in the snow, followed by a cup of tea - very civilised. Am now in the kitchen cooking up this week's [View Full Entry]

Canada Day in Kingston
Hola everyone! First thing - happy birthday to the Blackshaws - hope all is well Chris and Lisa! What's new? Well, I didn't think a whole lot, then I realised that I hadn't written since June, which is very slack of me. Work is slowing down - the nursery is actually closed for the season, with a few plants and bagged goods outside in the "cash and carry" section. An old guy today was caught trying to avoid the "cash" section of the aforementioned cash-and-carry. We managed to get some of the stock back, but we'll just have to keep an [View Full Entry]
