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.

Cape Breton North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Cape Breton » Cabot Trail

Herbstfarben

Ich bin mittlerweile in New Foundland doch schulde ich euch noch ein paar Geschichten aus Cape Breton, einer Insel in Nova Scotia! Ich hab mich hauptsaechlich im Norden aufgehalten, dem beruehmten Cabot Trail. Nachdem ich am ersten Tag von nem Mann aufgelesen wurde und die Nacht im Haus seiner Familie mit nem leckeren Abendessen und Fruehstueck verbracht hab wurde ich am naechsten Tag von 2 Leuten mitte 20 aufgelesen. Sie waren selber dabei einen Teil des Cabot-Trail zu fahren und nen paar Touri-Dinge anzuschauen so verbrachte ich den Tag mit denen und wir endeten abends in ner Bar. Dort boten [View Full Entry]

Frolicking Through Frozen Fall (Penny) North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal » Old Montréal

Fall

A caustic chill is brewing in the air. A fortnight ago Dave and I were cruising through our local farmers market in shorts and a tan. We went to sleep one night and awoke in a spectacularly frozen stupor. Wrapped in thermals, gloves, beanies and knee-high waterproof boots, our morning stroll through Central Park has transmuted into an epic battle against the harshest elements. I think I might be to blame. After 3 days of roadtripping through frostbitten French Canada, the Miller-King family and I farewelled boring Montreal (with gigantic smiles), lost a passenger (Robot) and inadvertent [View Full Entry]

Marche Jean-Talon in Montreal: deliciously colorful North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Delicious & Beautiful

Marche Jean-Talon was SENSATIONAL! You are probably thinking that my view of a trip to a produce market is biased, since I am a dietician. Yes, the market is a dietitian's paradise, but, the morning at the Market Jean-Talon was so much more than a delight to my senses. It was colorful and delicious, but it was also a dive, or a peek, into the the world of many locals. I learned so much as... - I saw what people bought to eat, and more impressive, what they were going to cook. Everything was fresh and raw. Impressive to see people [View Full Entry]

Capital City North America » Canada » Ontario » Ottawa

Parliament Hill

I couchsurfed at Keira's apartment in Ottawa - we had previously arranged this when we had been in the Yukon - and it felt nice to be in someone's home for a change, rather than a motel or a hostel. Or a tent, for that matter. Ottawa is a great little city, and you can stroll from the skyscrapered downtown area to the leafy attractive suburbs in under ten minutes. I was determined to make the most of my time here, and so spent my days sightseeing round the city and it's various museums, and the nights checking out whatever was [View Full Entry]

Autumn in Montreal North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Sleeping with Charlie.

Bonjour! It’s a hot and muggy afternoon in Florida, with the thermometer registering 97F, and I am shopping for a wool coat and long boots. The insanity is justified, however. I’m travelling to Montreal in a couple of days, and it’s minus 1 to 6 degrees Celsius (31F)! Changing from flip-flops and orange-blue summery outfit (the Gators’ homecoming explains the choice of colors) to somber and heavy clothing, I headed to the airport under one of those stormy Floridian afternoons. Charged $25 per checked bag, I am reminded that we are still in recession mode. On t [View Full Entry]

Day 26 North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver Island

PA130049

Today has had its share of ups and downs shall we say. It started off with a suprisingly bright start and the sun even rose and shone through the gap between the horizin and the clouds for a few minuites. After that the clouds started looming ominously and it was time to get things underway. Along the way, in preparation for rain, I have bought some white bin bags to aid in the waterproofness of my panniers. And so they were put over the top to make my bike look great! It was then that I realised my tyre had gone [View Full Entry]
