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.

Where my Music's Playing

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

It's always dangerous to write about experiences that occurred almost two months ago. With the passage of time comes a natural romantisization. The nostalgic part of my brain has already added a soundtrack and cut out the down time. But my warm feelings of Saskatchewan in summer never change. Dennie and I touched down in Regina tired and excited in early July with high expectations of weddings, bbq’s, family dinners, backyard parties, music festivals and camping trips. Another year brought change; relationships came and went, friends moved away and others returned, babies turned into tod [View Full Entry]

Nationaal park van Mauricie

North America » Canada » Quebec » La Mauricie National Park

Mauricie

Jawel, Ik leef nog! ;-) Ik ben dus maandag opnieuw uit Quebec stad vertrokken en heb via Allo stop een lift kunnen krijgen naar trois-rivières, ligt tussen montreal en quebec. Daar heb ik dan mijn nieuwe co-reizigers ontmoet. Jérémie uit Parijs, Lionel uit Toulouse en Marc uit Montreal maar eigenlijk uit Bordeaux (hij woont al een half jaar in Montreal). Jérémie had via een vriend uit Montreal een auto kunnen lenen en met de blauwe pontiac zijn we vertrokken naar de groenere regio's. Eerste stop het nationaal park van Mauricie. Weer ongelofelijk veel waauw momenten. Aangezien ik mijn tent [View Full Entry]

BookFace: The Bane of My Existence

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Me and the Princess

I “talked” to HKW a few days later, playfully bantering with her via the sky blue interface of Facebook in order to grease up the wheels of our slowly evolving relationship. It was nice and easy chitchat over a few days using Facebook’s ingenious “Message” system. When I felt the small talk was all but exhausted, I let my intentions (well camouflaged among other nonsensical shit) shine through. “i just remembered...i owe you dinner!! where to, mon ami?” Which is probably the worst way to phrase my intentions considering (1) it sounds like I [View Full Entry]

Before we left for Montreal we decided our parents should meet and it would be an easy way to spend the evening seeing everyone. We went to the Keg for our last dinner in Saskatoon for six months. [View Full Entry]

Langsam zieht der Alltag ein...

North America » Canada » Alberta » Calgary

Stop!

Auf dem Campus kenne ich mich nun schon gut aus, ich weiß wo was ist und wo ich hin muss. Auch wie man wo hinkommt, wo interessante Einkaufszentren sowie Aussichtplätze auf die die Skyline sind, weiß ich nun. Allerdings ist mir das Bussystem immernoch ein wenig suspekt, da die Haltestellen keine Namensschilder aufweisen und außerdem keine Fahrplaene dabeihaengen. Da muss man immer ein bisschen Glueck haben, den richtigen Bus in die richtige Richtung zu erwischen und dann auch noch an der richtigen Haltestelle auszusteigen. Sonst war ich vor kurzem (18.09.) im Fishcreek-Provincial-Park, ein sc [View Full Entry]

Mercredi 17 septembre- Cantons de l’Est

North America » Canada

Photo 1

Nous partons visiter un monastère où des moines perpétuent la tradition des chants grégoriens. Un peu décu par leur performance et l’abbaye relativement moderne, nous quittons l’endroit pour retrouver Gérard, Kat et Clément à Magog. Ensuite nous prenons la route pour Georgeville, une petite ville au bord du lac où l’église et quelques maisons sont encore en bois. Le soleil brille et la région dégage des airs de Nouvelle Angleterre et on se croirait dans des décors de films. Sur la route nous nous arrêtons devant un petit pont de bois « couvert », très typique mais pas ex [View Full Entry]
