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.

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

Dipper bird

Hi Guys, Good to hear from you all (???) Anyway, thought I'd write another blog and tell the tales of Canada. Let's start at my study, which will soon come to an end. Only 7 more days to go. Then, I'm done collecting data and it's time to analyze all the answers. A daunting task, and even though I'm curious, I'm not really looking forward to processing it all. I fear the maze of statistics, the feeling of being overwhelmed with numbers, alpha's, correlations and the 1000 different buttons that make up the SPSS statistical program. If you don't hear anything [View Full Entry]

One Filter One Family North America » Canada » Ontario » Ottawa

The history..... Earlier this year, after an exceptionally long and hot run, sitting on the kitchen floor, drinking water and trying to cool off, we started talking about how important water was to us and our ability to run. Well, that conversation, timed with a particular song, whose words include ‘Each day’s a gift and not a given right….If today was your last day….could you say goodbye to yesterday…’ reminded me of a comment I’d heard and experienced in Cambodia in Oct 2009. ‘Even though there is access to a lot of water, much of it is [View Full Entry]

A day that could not have been predicted…. North America » Canada » Ontario » Ottawa

A day that could not have been predicted…. All this, brings me to today, October 28. Another call with Ray to talk about logistics, training, mental strategies, food and all things that you worry about when you think about running a marathon a day for 6 days. More discussions about water capture and drilling technology, what might work in Cambodia, how to make this sustainable and things that would have never crossed my mind in the past. Ray, many, many thanks for all the help, insight, and support! Good luck to you and the team in Siberia! Just as I hung [View Full Entry]

Nat... North America » Canada » Ontario » Ottawa

Nat here.... Jeff told one part of the story. How do you describe in a few words a journey that began over a year ago, saw us log hundreds upon hundreds of hours running, walking and sometimes hobbling in all weather, from bogs to deserts, over rocks and through water in temperatures that would grill an egg or make you Walt Disney’s best cryogenic tank buddy should you stop moving for only a few minutes. We are the lucky ones. The kitchen discussion to Nickleback’s songs gave us the seed goal for the adventure, to bring one filter, to try and [View Full Entry]

Der Hund von dem einen Maedel

Moin, ich bins wieder! Wieder in Toronto: Die Nacht verlief erstaunlich mückenfrei, sogar für mich, aber vielleicht haben die Mücken auch nur keine freien Stellen mehr bei mir gefunden:-) Wir waren wieder schön im Ontario See baden. Marilyn hatte uns gestern eigentlich noch einen Bananenkuchen mitgegeben, aber den haben wir da vergessen. Wir wollten ihn dann heute essen, aber er hat schon angefangen zu schimmeln. Sepp und ich haben also darauf verzichtet, aber Alex hat nach dem Motto "einem geschenkten Maul guckt man nicht ins Maul" den Kuchen praktisch aufgegessen. Wir sind ins Stad [View Full Entry]

More and more bears. North America » Canada » Manitoba » Churchill

Curious bear
I was eyeing him up for a few minutes..

Greetings from a rainy Churchill! All the ice has gone again! The temperature rose and melted it all, so the bears are happy just to sit tight and wait a bit longer.. I was talking to a guy from Manitoba Conservation as well as a couple of the Parks Canada guides, and they were saying that a lot of the bears this year are still down close to the Manitoba/Ontario border and that they still have a lot of body mass so they don't seem to have the urge to migrate north? It's an interesting theory, and there may be [View Full Entry]

The French Bit. North America » Canada » Quebec » Tadoussac

Halloween Decor in Montreal's Old Town

Going into Quebec I had to remind myself that I wasn't entering a different country. I needn't have bothered, since it was exactly like being in a different country. Montreal Montreal was nice - an older city, with some interesting architecture and lots of night life. I couchsurfed with a native - Nathalie - who took me on a quick guided tour of the city when I arrived, which included a trip to her favourite place to sample the local delicacy, Poutine. This is a weird dish consisting of chips, covered in cheese curds and a generous helping of gravy. Tasted [View Full Entry]

Roadtrip to Whistler... and Bungee Jumping! North America » Canada » British Columbia » Whistler

Before

Hello again, big day! Ben and I have just returned from a very long but beautiful day-trip through British Columbia and are now sitting with some cold brews recovering from the sheer adrenalin rush we got from bungee jumping deep in the forests of Whistler, BC. We hired a car early this morning and spent a few hours getting to grips with driving on the right-hand side of the road, winding up scenic route 99. Stopped by at Shannon Falls and all the lookouts, took a packed lunch and had a look around Whistler Village where they're getting ready for the [View Full Entry]

Alberta! (all over) North America » Canada » Alberta » Banff National Park

Sunset nearing Westlock
Magic!

Soooo a few days and no updates. But fear not! Now we're back on track. There has been lots of visiting this past little while. First we went from Saskatoon to visit Al in Westlock, Alberta. Though we were only there for a handful of hours we still had a fantastic little trip up. Dan - Al's boyfriend whom I haven't seen since my Ottawa days - was also in town visiting, so it was a good-sized reunion all around. That night we had a fantastic salmon fillet for dinner, alongside some risotto and stir-fried vegetables. Come morning Val and I [View Full Entry]
