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.

Happy Birthday Nanny! North America » Canada » Ontario

celebrate with a jig!

Happy Birthday Nanny! In true ridiculous blogging fashion I think it is only fair to create a birthday masterpiece using a picture of my Nanny and Microsoft Paint. So here it is, To a lady who is not only sweet but always sweet smelling. A lady who taught me to love crafts and Judy Garland. A thoughtful soul who clips out newspaper articles to send to me even when i'm all the way in Korea :) A woman who is very smart, knows hundreds of flower names and bird names.. seriously, she's never met a plant she didn't know the name [View Full Entry]

Le Nuit Blanche North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Giant bunny

Once every year, Toronto city turns into a 24 hour art exhibit. This was the first time that I was here, and present in order to take part. There was over 300 artists displaying work, all over the city in random locations. It was amazing to see the city alive at night, with such a mix of people and cultures. CP24 reported that there were nearly 700,000 people out that night. The evening began at dusk and ran until dawn. We went down town about 10 and met up with some of our Canadian friends. We walked the city and [View Full Entry]

Day 126 North America » Canada » Quebec

We hit the road early and dropped Megan off in Halifax before getting back on the road back to Fredericton to meet Heather again. The drive on the way was long and boring and it was no different heading back West again! After a couple of hours we needed to fill up with fuel so took the exit off the main freeway thinking that the local town would have a petrol station, it didn't! We had to keep on the small roads and the gas was running very very low, it didn't even register on the gauge. After passing through some [View Full Entry]

Horse-drawn Carriage Rides
Touring Stanley Park in style -enjoy the views!

Sensational Stanley Park Stanley Park, a National Historic Site named after Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada in 1888 when the park was officially opened, is the crown jewel of the city's 200 parks. Eight million visitors per year to North America's third largest urban core park (400 hectares/ 1,000 acres) makes Stanley Park one of Vancouver's top attractions. The cool, lush, evergreen second and third growth forest of Douglas Firs, Western Red Cedars, Western Hemlocks, and Sitka Spruce trees gives the park a more naturalistic look than most urban parks.

Welcome to Canada
Welcome to Canada

Destination Ft. Nelson... Success!!!! We made it to Ft. Nelson!!! Today was a much better day than yesterday!! We got on the road after getting breakfast at Tim Hortons. The weather was mostly rain in the morning. It was sunny off and on, but for the most part when it wasn't raining, it was snowing! We saw a lot of beautiful country today. It was more scenic than yesterday for sure!!! As you can see from the pictures, the kids have been doing a lot of sleeping when they aren't arguing and fighting with each other!

Leg 2, Blog 5 North America » Canada » Quebec » Gatineau

interpretation center for white tailed deer

Saturday AM - We’re experiencing a small hiccup in our usually glorious camping experience. We’ve had 7 days of rain now, although we had about 3 hours of sunshine yesterday and today a bit warmer than yesterday, which was freezing. I’m still dealing with my stomach issue and Bob has a bad cold. To top it off, we have a mouse or two running around inside our cabinets driving the cats berserk and shredding our toilet paper rolls to build a nest. I reached in the cabinet under the bathroom sink yesterday and came out with what looked like a large [View Full Entry]

Hauling The Camp... North America » Canada » Manitoba » Churchill

Fantastic colours!
A lone white spruce tree stands on the windswept Cape Merry. The trees here all lean slightly to the south and have no branches on their north facing sides, due to the almost constant north wind (Krum... [more]

Hi folks! The north wind has been howling for a couple of days now. It is starting to feel like fall, but somehow the temperatures are struggling to get below freezing? Not that I mind, as I have a lot of work to do out on the tundra, I could do with a couple more weeks of warm (Relative for the time of year) weather. Our mobile lodge has been hauled out to the wild and barren, windswept and bleak Polar Bear Point, and we've already had a group of 'campers'. Polar Bears International (PBI) had a group of students staying [View Full Entry]

Day 125 North America » Canada » New Brunswick » Fredericton

We got up and lazed around the house in the morning before collecting Megan from college. Then we met up with Ashleigh and headed out for some lunch. In the afternoon we drove out to Wolfville (the valley!). We headed to Megan's parents house and then to the a place called the look off, which is up a high hill with great views of the town below. The views are absolutely stunning at this time of year with the leaves changing colour. In the evening we headed out for some drinks in Megan's local watering hole, Paddy's pub which served some [View Full Entry]

Johnston Canyon and Moraine lake North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff National Park » Johnston Canyon

Johnston Canyon
Suspension walkways clung to the canyon walls.

Johnston Canyon and Moraine Lake Twinning The National Parks people and the government of Canada know that one of the major draws to the Canadian Rockies and the national parklands is the chance for people to see wildlife. So it's a worry that the reproduction rate of some of the big animals has been dropping. In response, there are efforts to buttress up the wildlife habitats and educate people on staying away from critical areas during spring calving and the autumn rutting season. On the highway between the townships of Banff and Lake Louise, the policy of “twinning” is [View Full Entry]
