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.

Time flies when you're on the go...

North America » Canada » Ontario » Toronto

Montreal: October
Apparently Peter Parker is also feeling the recession.

The last 2-3 months have been full of surprises in my life, some fun, some not so great. But overall, things are well. Here's a short list: Moving to my new apartment down the street and having to furnish it (I now officially HATE moving) Missing family & friends in Chicago Trying to adjust to Toronto and not succeeding at first Beginning to succeed in adjusting to Toronto Missing my train to Montreal, and having to take a 7hr bus instead to apply for a visiting visa to the US at the Montreal consulate Staying with Bastien C. from American School [View Full Entry]

the first painfully slow filtration set up.

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

back alley oil collection

Though our filtration system was not yet fine tuned the guys wanted to get collecting used oil for our stock pile so they went ahead anyways with what filters they had. Almost 4 hours outside in the back alleys of downtown Regina they slowly pumped used oil from the collection bins during the first real snowfall of the season. Getting back after dark cold and wet they took the oil over to the neighbour's heated garage to warm up the oil for further filtration. They were up until 2:30 in the morning but they sure were proud of themselves when all [View Full Entry]

Pre Israel

North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

when i woke up yesterday morning

In about 2 months time, I'll be boarding a plane going on a 15 hour journey to Israel for 6 whole months. I am 24 years old, born and raised in Ontario, Canada, not Jewish, have no family there and know (kind of) 3 people in total that live in Israel. The usual reaction I get when I tell someone I'm going to Israel for 6 months by myself is "Are you crazy?" ... The answer to that question is yes but that is not the reason I'm heading on this endeavour. There are quite a few actually... The first and [View Full Entry]

Taking Action

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

My Brother
Keep your right hand on your mouse.

After “Failed Attempt at a Complete Kokuhaku”, or FACK (yes, the “complete” is utterly useless and makes no sense in the name, but its needed for the alliteration and the acronym), I called her up the next day. My club was selling sushi for a fundraising activity and since shorty liked sushi, seemed like the perfect opportunity to try and meet up with her again. Me: “Come to our sushi sale!” HKW: “Oh I really want to eat sushi! But I’m volunteering at a hospital all day…Sorry.” Well there goes that. Fuck, my life sucks. [View Full Entry]

The drive from Vancouver to Calgary

North America » Canada » British Columbia

So I’m a little behind on my posts, I know this, just thought I’d update with what’s been happening in my new home of Calgary! So Simone and I met up at the good old HI Central in Vancouver, where my Canadian adventure started! I had said goodbye to the parentals, they had a very very long flight ahead of them! Simone and I had a walk around the city and picked up some random things for our trip, then went to The Beaver for dinner. Ahhhhh, The Beaver! So many memories from The Beaver, so much of our time was [View Full Entry]

Life in Calgary

North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary

So we’ve been in Calgary 7 weeks now, and while time has flown, it seems like we’ve been here longer than that. Although we were only supposed to have the house for a month, Simone and I decided after two weeks that we didn’t want to have to look for another place, as this one is perfect for us. The house is great; four bedrooms plus a study, it’s fully furnished with everything we could ever want (including an air hockey table and piano!), it’s close to public transport and our huge backyard backs right onto the river. It’s wonderful! We [View Full Entry]

Culinary Experience in Cowichan Bay Farm

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

Erin, Mo and Kellan walking in the farm in a sunny afternoon

On a sunny Sunday afternoon, November 2, 2008, my friends (Erin, Kellan and Mo) and I decided to go on a road trip for a tour of the Cowichan Bay Farm for a local culinary experience. Cowichan Bay Farm is situated near Cowichan Bay Village, approximately five minutes off the TransCanada Highway and forty-five minutes from Victoria. Kellan drove us to the farm (Thanks, Kellan!) and we had so much fun on the way to the farm (Bonding time~!). The farm sells pasture-raised chicken, duck, beef and lamb. When we arrived at the farm, we expected to see chickens and ducks [View Full Entry]
