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.

:(

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Hey guys, We're just about to leave Toronto to go to Athens!! Yay!! We got all our bad luck out of the way on our first day (we hope). Stupid Air Canada lost Alex's luggage and we spent the majority of our first day dealing with that and taking the wrong shuttle bus to and from the airport... oh and walking in a lot of rain (my poor leather shoes). But our spirits are high after a good nights sleep and we can't wait to really start our honeymoon in Greece (yesterday didn't count!). Talk to you all soon! Lots of [View Full Entry]

Bike ride dans les montagnes

North America » Canada » Yukon » Whitehorse

Typique trail

Le slogan du Yukon est "Larger than life", histoire de remettre un peu les choses dans leur contexte. Le VTT dans le Yukon prend toute une autre dimension. Il y a plus de 5000km de pistes dans les montagnes qui bordent Whitehorse. De quoi s'eclater pendant des annees sans jamais faire le meme parcours. A chaque tournant un lac, un canyon, une immensite, un ours parfois meme. Les pistes sont souvent tres etroites parmis les arbres et tout aussi techniques et physiques. On sent l'adrenaline monter a devaler ces pistes au bord du precipice. C'est maintenant notre cinquieme jour a Whitehorse [View Full Entry]

Hiking to oil country

North America » Canada » Alberta

Photo 1

The Canadian Rockies are what everyone says - they are magnificent, majestic, the whole 9. We are really glad they are protected for the most part through national parks - a real canadian achievement we should all be proud of. Here you will find a vast range of wildlife, thriving bear populations, and many areas largely untouched by humans (unless you include the "touch" of climate change which is really starting to affect this area). We fell in love with hiking the last few days. We climbed some summits (none too large - but all spectacularly beautiful). We have this guide [View Full Entry]

Leaving the Okanagan

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vernon

I wish I was here and not packing

Well.... today is the day. After months and months of planning everything is coming together and I am hitting the road, heading to Vancouver. I dont actually leave for India until August 13, but I need to get to the coast before the weekend to get my Visa sorted out and a final Rabies shot. Thank god this is the last of the shots. I basically feel like a pincushion at this point. Tomorrow morning if all goes well I will put in my application in at the Consulate General of India in Vancouver to get myself a 6 month tourist [View Full Entry]

Sappyfest

North America » Canada » New Brunswick

Sappyfest 1

Yaahhh...we finally have a good internet connection again. Ok, so we will never, never whine about hot weather again! We have been in Canada for a couple of weeks and have seen the sun about twice during that time. During that time we have arrived at two great realizations;1) Hot weather is better than rainy weather and 2) we will not live in a northern climate again if we can help it...oh, and 3) Greyhound sucks big time...they still have no clue what happened to our suitcase full of gifts that we shipped across the country ahead of us before we [View Full Entry]

66 Acres of History

North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary

Reflection of days gone by

Today I had to go to Heritage Park in Calgary for some research related to a volunteer position of mine. I've lived in Alberta all of my life, and I can't remember if I've been to Heritage Park before. If I have, it was about twenty years ago. Not that I haven't seen my share of 'living history' museums across the Canadian Prairies--if I have been to Heritage Park, I can't remember it because the memories are mixed in with memories of visiting other historic places, like Fort Walsh, Lower Fort Garry, Fort Whoop-Up and others. When I was growing up, [View Full Entry]

North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

A very early start from New York. The coach is full but everyone seems to be getting on okay. Our guide Miss Penny is very thorough and looks after us well. She is from Texas. As I write this, it is 10pm and we have just eaten. Finally arrived at 6,15 and seemed to wait an age to clear customs. It is very busy here. Then waited to get off the coach as there was an amazing thunder storm. I have been amazed by the countryside we have passed through. Beautiful trees and mile after mile of maize, used to feed [View Full Entry]

Ketchikan, Alaska to Victoria, British Columbia : August 1, Day 26

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver Island » Victoria

Not a Bad Palace
The King of Floonia eyes some new real estate: Parliament, British Columbia.

What's hot: Deep relaxation What's not: Long day at sea Travel lesson of the day: We live in a t-shirt nation. from Kathy: From a Ketchikan departure at noon on July 31 until noon on August 1, we traveled 470 miles at a speed of more than 20 knots. Nonetheless, we were still hours away from our last port visit in Victoria, British Columbia. The mood on the ship changed from laid-back to last-day—people lining up to review their bills, the high-priced art show was packed away. The kids slept until 1 p.m. Paul confessed [View Full Entry]
