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.

DSCF1078

Day 38. 12,475Km I was'nt sure if I would make it to Vancouver or not today. I thought I might end up camping on the main land and crossing in the morning. I was on the road by 10.30 so I started thinking I could make it. I did'nt have anything to eat before I left camp so I was getting hungry by lunch. I stopped at the A&W in Princeton and had an Uncle burger. The weather was gloomy and there were a few showers here and there but no major downpours. Once I reached Chilliwack, which by the way [View Full Entry]

Exploring Planet O&G North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary

Alberta Sky
So big!

Every time I come back to Calgary, I am pleasantly surprised by the changes I find it to have undergone during my absence. New clubs, new shops, new restaurants, new buildings are springing up at an impressive rate in spite the recession rhetoric being floated about. Opportunities for enjoyment and employment abound for anyone willing to seek them out, and I have found a perfect mix of both since my last entry. Lucky for me, while the city has changed, my network of friends has largely stayed the same, which has meant plenty of people to hook me up and help [View Full Entry]

Lake Louise View

En vue de ce que nous avons vecu durant une semaine, le premier reflexe que nous ayons eu en arrivant a Lake Louise, petite ville tres touristique de 1500 habitants, fut de prendre un dejeuner digne de rois ! Nous primes donc de quoi nous restaurer pour 4 (chacun) au Laugan's®, etablissement ou travaille Jonathan - que nous avons rencontre quelaues jours auparavant - en tant que Supervisor. Nous avons donc eu droit a une genereuse reduction... Arrives a l'Auberge de Jeunesse, nous ne fumes pas etonnes par le cote luxueux des lieux, en raison de la somme qui nous etait [View Full Entry]

Lake Louise to Banff North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff

Avalanche at Lake Louise Glacier

Boys started off the day with a swim at the pool at the hotel this morning at Lake Louise. After breakfast we decided to take another go at canoeing around the lake. It was raining so a bit more of an adventure today. We were nearly at the other side of the lake toward the glacier when we heard what sounded like thunder. We wondered if we should turn back because the clouds were so dark. It happened again and believe it or not the sound was coming from an avalanche down the mountain. Spent most of the afternoon inside the [View Full Entry]

Ausflug an den Lake Minnewanka und in Banff North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff

Beim Rundgang um den Lake Johnson

Heute morgen waren hier nur 9 °C und als wir nach dem Frühstück losfuhren zeigte das Termometer im Auto 12° an, aber es regnete (noch) nicht und wir fuhren zu den 3 Seen hier ganz in der Nähe. Der erste war Lake Johnson, um den haben wir es sogar geschafft herumzulaufen ( eine gute Stunde) und am Ende der Runde gab es das obligatorische erst Fußbad heute. Das Autotermometer schaffte es auch auf 15°. Anschließend fuhren wir weiter zu einem Nebensee vom Lake Minnewanka, den Two Jack Lake. Als S. und ich gerade nasse Füsse hatten kam auch noch das Wasser [View Full Entry]

Jasper and Lake Louise North America » Canada » Alberta » Lake Louise

Steam Engine at Jasper Train Station

Today we spent some time in the town of Jasper walking on a path along the train tracks toward the station. Mid-day we left for Lake Louise which was about a 4 hour ride. Along the way we had a brief stop at the Columbia Icefield which was amazing and very cold. We also saw 4 adult bears and 2 baby bears which were right along the roadway at 3 different spots. Wow is really all you can say about Lake Louise. The hotel is right on the lake so we decided to canoe and get some cool pictures of the [View Full Entry]

La vie au jour le jour North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff National Park

1er Campgroung
Notre premier camp en autonomie

Seul au monde... Pour cette premiere grande excursion d'une semaine, nous n'etions pas entierement rassures a l'idee de vivre au milieu d'une nature sauvage loin toute civilisation (sans telephone, sans internet, sans rien quoi ;-) Cependant toutes les conditions furent reunies pour nous faire apprecier le voyage. Le temps s'est maintenu au beau fixe durant les 6 premiers jours et les ours n'ont pas diminue notre effectif de plus d'une demi-personne, car seul la fatigue et la faim ont eu raison de nous. Malgre tout, la gestion de la nourriture s'est revelee des plus pertinante : nous avo [View Full Entry]
