Canada Travel Blogs

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.

Howdy! - Intro

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

A Great Day
Livia and you-know-who at Jericho Beach

Hi y'all, Alas, you're all so far away --- and I'm sorry to say, out-of-touch with what I'm up to. So I thought I'd start my very own travel blog for all of you who remain back home. It's easy to use - you don't need to become a member of the blog to comment on my entries. YAY! And the more comments you write, the more I'll love you (hehe, just kidding!). Also, you might be wondering why I'm writing my entries in English if it's supposed to be for you....hmmm, that's a tricky one. But let me just say, [View Full Entry]

A Holler from Far Away

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

UBC Rose Garden
This is where I study...

Hi ladies and gentlemen! Can you believe it? My first semester is almost over --- classes end on November 30th. And the best thing is, I only need to take 1 final exam! Woohoo. Well, let's not talk about the 3-odd papers I need to hand in shortly afterwards...there's still LOTS OF time! :D In this entry I won't be able to reiterate everything I've done since I left Germany last January but I do want to share a little bit of what's going on these days. A few keywords: Whistler; West Coast Trail; Anke, Sabine & Nina's visit; Seattle; Saltspring [View Full Entry]

Winnipeg, Calgary, The Rockies & Vancouver

North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff National Park

Winnipeg: closed

Things to do in Winnipeg... I'm afraid to say there wasn't much to report on Winnipeg. I wanted to like it, but it was closed. Like Toronto and Calgary, it has one of those enclosed walkways above street level connecting buildings in the town centre. It enables people to walk in air-conditioned comfort during the blistering cold in Winter or the prairie heat of Summer. The downside is it robs the streets of people and there's less of a buzz about the place. Saturday afternoon, place was like a ghost town. (...in fact, there aren't that many things to do in [View Full Entry]

Jour 2

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Métro de Montréal

Je suis allé travailler à Montréal. Il faut prendre un métro pour s'y rendre. C'est bondé de monde à l'heure de pointe. On y distribue des journaux gratuitement pour que la population prenne le goût à la lecture. [View Full Entry]

Almost out of here

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Had one final going away gathering last night, saw my brother and his girlfriend, and a few Ontario based friends. My flight is not until 6:30 pm, but I will head down to the airport for about 3:00. My friend Teresa, who is travelling with me for the first 2 or 3 weeks of my trip is stuck with a 4 hour layover, so i will take her into the MLL (maple leaf lounge) for some free drinks; doesn't sound very appealing right now, but a little hair of the dog will have to do. Finally took a picture of my [View Full Entry]

Today, Thorold, tomorrow, Toronto, the next day....the world mmmmwwwwwaaaahahahahahaah

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

A quick update. I am now homeless and unemployed and staying at my mother's house in Thorold, Ontario. LOL It sounds grim, but really could not be grander. Tomorrow I'm off to Toronto to see some friends and my brother (sis was supposed to come, but has a studio gig to play, good for her! I'm proud). There might be some drinking...;) and Friday night I hop a plane to Madrid. Travelling business class (thank you aeroplan), and I intend to enjoy every minute of it; after that it's definitely low-brow travel for me. We're not talking park benches (I hope), [View Full Entry]

Toronto and Niagra Falls

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

A lot of things must happen late at night in Toronto, as nothing seemed to be going down during the day. We had a lot of time to walk around here and I think this may have been to long. Went up CN Tower, which is the largest building in the world, but its’ days are numbered with Dubai about to take that honour, view was great but we were not allowed outside right up the top as it was too windy. Part of our ticket gave us a lovely little 3D ride which had something to do with a super [View Full Entry]

First REAL snow in Yellowknife.

North America » Canada » Northwest Territories » Yellowknife

Snow in the downtown

The winter is actually here now. It snowed about 20 centimeters yesterday. I finally figured out how the people here say there is lots of snow here. They really dont get many snow falls but it never melts so there is accumulation. The walk to work was cold today (minus 18) and I have not bought a proper jacket yet so I have improvised. My scarf gets wrapped up over my head and I wrap a long piece of fleece around my bum because my jacket's not long enough. Ya, I look a little ridiculous but I'm warm. That minus 18 [View Full Entry]

Back to the Land of Moose, Mounties and Maple Syrup

North America » Canada

Tim Hortons!
With an RCMP car parked in the lot? No, couldn't be!

Ladies and Gentlemen ... the curtain has come down, the ship has sailed, the fat lady has officially sung ... it's all been said and done and now we've been home for a month!! Time has flown by so quickly! We flew out quite late on our last day, so we had all day to think about what loomed ahead and it was such an odd feeling to know that in 36 hours we'd be home. Emotions were all over the place. But in the words of Kai and Danielle (Team Gerdutch), "Once that plane is in the air, it's not [View Full Entry]
