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.

Thanksgiving Potluck
Das "herzhafte" Bueffet...

Ja, mich gibt es noch ^^ Es hat nur ein bisschen gedauert, bis ich mal wieder zum schreiben gekommen bin. Letzten Montag, 13.10., war hier in Kanada Thanksgiving, das heisst für mich ein freier Tag ;) Und ich habe die Feststellung gemacht, dass Thanksgiving in Kanada auf ein anderes Datum fällt als in den Staaten (dort ist es Ende November). Aber so lange man frei hat, macht das Datum nix. In anbetracht dieses Tages veranstaltete CISSA (Internationales Studentenzentrum an der U of C) auch ein Thanksgiving Potluck, jeder bringt ein (typisches) Gericht (seines Heimatlandes) mit. Dieses war al [View Full Entry]

Night Bus to Toronto

On the night bus from Montreal to Toronto I was too alert to sleep. I drowned out the rattling emergency exit window with the mix-CD Mick had given me as a present before I left home. He's included the Stones, Zeppelin, Dave Brubeck and a few other jazz-funk tunes, so it felt a little like an imaginary road movie, passing late-night remote gas stations and diners with neon signs to a soundtrack of electric guitars, hammond organ and horns that sounded like they came from a 70's cop-show. Newfoundland & St. John's Toronto was warm, almost T-shirt weather after than the [View Full Entry]

Die Dinos & ich

North America » Canada » Alberta » Drumheller

Aufi gehts in Richtung Osten!

Am Samstag, also am 18.10.2008, war also ein von CISSA organisierter Trip nach Drumheller und die Badlands angesetzt. Frueh um 8 Uhr war Treffzeit und um 8.30 Uhr gings los Richtung Flachland. Um mich noch weiter wettertechnisch zu verwirren, fing es an zu schneien (im Flachland!). Der Schnee blieb natürlich nicht liegen, es ist ja immernoch zu warm dafuer. Fuer den Trip hat sich ein CISSA-Volunteer (Tony), ehemals Mitarbeiter im Royal Tyrrell Museum bereiterklaert, unseren Reisefuehrer zu spielen. Erster Stop war der Horseshoe-Canyon, eine sehr interessante Gesteins- und Sandformation, we [View Full Entry]

On the road again.

North America » Canada

Fall colours

Back on the road after our holiday from the holiday and we have already covered so much ground. Exploring the states of Masachusettes, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. The fall colours were fantastic, particularly in Vermont which we both loved. Whilst there we stopped off at the ben and jerrys factory and discovered that ranforest crunch was discontinued in 1996, which would explain why I've not found it recently despite my extensive efforts! In Maine we both tried lobster for the first time, it was very, very messy. We are still none the wiser as to what bits were actually edible [View Full Entry]

victoria harbour
morning on the inner harbour

Spent the week in Victoria on a business trip. Had the opportunity to take a number of morning walks. The picture is of a Harbour Air Seaplane taxiing for take off in Victoria inner harbour. While there were lots of tourists in town it was nothing like summer. Stayed at the Victoria Marriott which was good value and an excellent location. Couple of good spots for dinner and drinks are Spinnaker's and the Sticky Wicket [View Full Entry]

Home Again

North America » Canada » British Columbia

Well, we made it, so this is the end of the blog We had the opportunity to browse some of the other bloggers on this site, backpacking through thailand, or around the world, or working for extended periods of time far from home. It makes our tiny adventure seem a little over rated.....but we had a lot of fun. We experienced the ride, completed it within budget (we think), and (speaking for myself) would go on a trip with any of the boys again at any time.....(should note a disclaimer regarding the level of flatulance experienced on this particular trip). Monday [View Full Entry]

Counting Chickens - report on my last week.

North America » Canada » Ontario

From Brantford Ontario. Well, who would believe it but I have been lying in the sun by Bev and Peter’s pool - 26 deg here - blue blue skies and it was so tempting that I actually had a dip in the pool - Peter did warn me about hypothermia - but I took no notice till I got in. Took my breath away - swam up and down VERY QUICKLY and go out. It did cool me down though. This is Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada - and to top it all it was my host’s Ruby Wedding Anniversary. So we [View Full Entry]

76 Day Driving Trip-Segment 5

Montreal

Bonjour! Merci beau coup! Tres Bien! We were practicing our French as we crossed back into Canada. Our first stop was Montreal in the province of Quebec. Our high-rise hotel was located in the downtown area where we walked and walked along with a young cosmopolitan population, lots of packed sidewalk cafes, small ethnic grocery stores, and upscale brownstones. When it was too far to walk we learned the ins and outs of the metro system. The “Vieux” Montreal or old town was located near the port with the oldest cobblestoned street of Rue Paul full of souvenir shops, boutiques, [View Full Entry]
