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.

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]

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]

Niagara Falls

Bin ja jetzt doch etwas hinten dran mit schreiben... Also.... am 30.09. ging es mit dem Flieger nach Toronto. Sehr schoene Stadt, die Niagara Faelle mussten wir uns natuerlich auch anschauen, die sind aber irgendwie gar nicht so gewaltig wie man es sich vielleicht vorstellt. Trotzdem sehenswert. Weiter ging es in die Hauptstadt Ottawa. Ein bisschen langweilig, zu geordnet :) Montreal: sehr sehr schoen und international, viel los und sehr lebendig. Ville de Quebec: ein bisschen langweilig, waren aber dort nur 2 Naechte :) Fazit: Indian Summer in Kadanda ist toll, das zweisprachige [View Full Entry]

Niagara-Fälle und Toronto North America » Canada » Ontario » Niagara Falls

BILD0932

Hi alle! Jetzt melde ich mich wieder zu Wort. Wieder ein kleiner Zeitsprung... Unser Wecker ging schon um 6.30h, und das im Urlaub! Am Busbahnhof war eine Riesenschlange, wir haben uns schon gewundert, wie die alle mitkommen sollten, aber es wurde noch ein zweiter Bus eingesetzt. Um etwa 10h gings los, und wie soll es anders sein? Ein Deutscher aus Lübeck sitzt genau neben uns. Er beginnt gerade eine Tour durch Kanada. Gegen 20h waren wir an den Niagara-Fällen. Das ist sogar ein eigener Ort, "Niagara Falls", wusste ich gar nicht. Man konnte schon weitem was nebliges aufsteigen sehen, [View Full Entry]

Vancouver days 1 and 2 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Airplane
Taken during our stop over in NZ

Hello everyone, we've flown for sixteen hours around the world and landed in rainy vancouver... and guess what, it feels like the pilot is playing cruel joke and dropped us back off in Melbourne. No, there's differences, for example don't cut corners or jay-walk until you known what direction the traffic flows from. Spent the first night in a hostel in 'downtown' Vancouver, found a great brewery and learnt the trick to not getting jet lagged is to confuse your body with a nasty hangover. Day two we caught the bus out to SFU by accident which is one of the [View Full Entry]

Big Skies in Saskatchewan North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Saskatoon

Bison in Sask
Yum!

Yesterday marked the last bit of lengthy driving for a while - it was another 9 hour haul from Winnipeg into Saskatoon. But what a drive it was! Starting out around the Peg the skies were overcast. It threatened rain for the longest time before the skies finally did open for a bit. However, on the horizon we could see a clearing in the cloud cover, and without having to wait too long we got some of the first blue sky of our trip. The pictures have a difficult time portraying just how big the skies are out here - it's [View Full Entry]

Day 2. On site with our equipment. Celebration truck. The eco home.

Hi everyone! We had a change of plans. We got back home in Stratford yesterday. They decided to send to other drivers in our truck out to Victoria. They want to give Hank's foot a little more time to heal. We leave again on Nov. 11 for St. John's. We had a grueling yet entertaining week in TO. We now know what it feels like to be on Survivor. We do have a great team and think we will go a long way before we are voted off! This job is very physically demanding and that is in good weather conditions. [View Full Entry]

Pirates of the Niagra Region North America » Canada » Ontario » St. Catherines

Most of know St Catherines as the wine region...but little did we know that amoungst the vines and intoxicating fruit are Pirates - LURKING - waiting to attack. Tuesday October 20th: Raiders of the Lost Boatyard attack Element Quest - the final duel before EQ set sail to head south. We have overcome so much in the past two years and once again we have kept afloat after the blitz of fanatical, raging ill-tempered boat yard juveniles. Bon Voyage...and now the adventure continues... [View Full Entry]
