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.

Uptown Downtown North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Vancouver's Skyline
From Stanley Parks' Seawall at dusk. Reflections of the city with its spectacular skyline.

Reflections on Vancouver's Downtown Vancouver's downtown is a community of business and neighborhood districts where people work, live, shop, and enjoy the urban west coast lifestyle. Vancouver's downtown districts include: the business district where the Senior Canucks work and residential districts including the West End, Coal Harbour, and Yaletown. Shopping districts include the West End's Davie Street and Denman Street off English Bay, Robson Street and Granville Street with its large subterranean mall, Pacific Centre.

Brier Island, Nova Scotia Canada North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Annapolis Valley

Brier Island NS
HIGH & LOW TIDE,,

Brier Island NS Setting sail from Yarmouth NS in beautiful sunny weather, our intention was to set sail to Grand Manan Island NB via the Brier Island pass. Not even an hour out of Yarmouth we sailed into very heavy fog, lasting the duration of our sail and making the approach to Brier Island a very challenging one. Not to forget that in the passage of Brier Island, when not in slack tide, there are currents between 7 & 9 knots. With radar on and keeping a close watch, we slowly entered the passage and made way for the Town [View Full Entry]

Due West: B.C. Pit Stop North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Enroute to the island
Somewhere between Tsawasen & Swartz Bay

I flew in to YVR late Monday night but luckily had arranged for VIP transportation courtesy of Mr. Dave Moriarty, an old pal from elementary school. He had reserved his "in-demand" couch for a couple of days during my stay in town. He shares a two bedroom apartment with his best friend Jon from high school just south of downtown so it was perfect territory for planting my big awkward feet. Just to give a little background on Dave: we met in grade 1 after I moved back from England with the Davis clan. Seeing as how I had a British [View Full Entry]

Into Canada at last! North America » Canada » British Columbia » Cranbrook

Loading in from the side of the van
OK, so I haven't fixed the flat tire yet...I still hope to use the bike.

Into Canada at last! Up the Columbia River Valley in British Columbia Tues Sept 8-Wed Sept 9: The day had come to enter Canada! We were ready, we thought. We'd laid in some fresh provisions and pulled our passports out of their hiding place. Not many people were at the border crossing on Route 95 so it looked like a piece of cake. Little did we know we were moving into the realm of illegality. The guard at the crossing wanted to know how long we'd be in Canada. “We're not sure,” I replied, happy to be a grey nomad at [View Full Entry]

Life On The Farm, Kootenay-style North America » Canada » British Columbia » Kootenay National Park

Kootenay Lake

or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Insects The farm was in a fairly remote location called Johnson's Landing, with mountains on one side and picturesque Kootenay Lake on the other, though there was running water and electricity. My hosts were Kate and Harvey, who were lovely, and my home was the 'Roundhouse' cabin. White-tailed deer and wild turkeys would regularly come down to the farm, as would bears apparently, though thankfully I didn't encounter any of the latter during my stay. I have now heard one too many stories of people getting their faces eaten off by [View Full Entry]
