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.

Luggage
One sub 20kg bag, one approximately 10kg bag and a carry on. Bring on China!

The hour has come. Lacking sleep I sit wondering what is to come in the next few days. It will be two months until my next Canadian meal, and I am sure that I will long more for the company that is included in such festivities. Good advice from all involved and the diligence of a bright few have kept me sane to this point. Thanks to all those who have helped, but most importantly, my lovely girlfriend, my giving brothers, my parents, and all extended family, you know who you are. Especially in this last day of madness where at [View Full Entry]

Went to Windsor, Ontario, with Gary and Moe. We had an awesome time. I saw a chinchilla for the 1st time in my life. SO so cute. Also ate fiddel faddle (fiddle heads). Ferns that taste like spinach. Met a lot of Gary's family and his aunt's cute dog, Benwell (see pic). Windsor had great pizza too. We had a fun dvd night in our holiday inn hotel room. [View Full Entry]

Hey, Just starting this thing up...So i managed to see everyone in the fam and i must say it has been way too dam long. The visit was awesome and i am looking forward to seeing everyone again in March, but until then i guess i will just have to put up with living in a tropical jungle for 3-4 weeks, surfing every break possible, relaxing (with beers in hand) on beautiful beaches and meeting amazing people. Figured i would rub it in a little. Thanks again everyone and i'll see you soon, bronzed with stories to tell. Shane. [View Full Entry]

Point Pelee
the sourthern most tip of Canada

So, 'Windsor' we here you say, why would they be going to Windsor??? Well Windsor is actually a cool little town just accross the river from Detroit making it the southern most town in Canada, plus it is where Mike and Kristina live so we had to go and stop in and say hi. Windsor's claim to fame other then being the southern most city in Canada and an entry point to the US is that it houses the 'Big 3' car manufacturer's - GM, Ford and Chrysler. While we were staying with Kristina and her folks, her dad took us [View Full Entry]

Lancaster bomber ready to be refurbished

As soon as we got in to Windsor, we made the quick jump from cool Vancouver weather (@14 degrees C) to (drum roll please) typical Windsor summer heat and humidity at about 30 degrees. After being outside for two minutes, Sarah was drenched with sweat and NEEDED to jump in the pool, where she stayed for one full day. We attended Nick's sister Julia's graduation (Bachelor of Commerce) at the University on Sunday and had a big family BBQ later that day - it was nice to see everyone! On Monday we decided to become tourists and visited Jackson Park to [View Full Entry]
