So what's great about Canada?

[Mark TKO]

Went last year. Loved it but wouldn't want to live there. Too vast and reckon it would be too cold for me in winter.


Favourite place was Jasper - felt and looked just like the town Rambo shot up in First Blood. Met some good locals and had some decent piss ups shooting pool woth them. Really friendly. It's weird walking home and suddenly a huge elk (?) just wanders down the street. Also came across a bear (cue the gags about 'did you wipe it off and apologise ?' ) but luckily was in the car.

Went onto Vancouver and that was great place too - though wandered off course one night and ended up in the area where all the homeless are. Couldn't believe it in two minutes I went from really nice area to streets with hundreds of bag ladies and junkies on. Was watching my back there I tell you !

Then onto Vancouver Island to see the whales and grizzlies. Nice but again even more remote.

In conclusion i am staying in Yorkshire

Lyle hates it, so it must be doing something right!

How does someone from Ireland know about the Trailer Park Boys?

It's big.....It' cold.....Lots of places to dump corpses and you could go back agan and again to visit them as the cold weather would preserve them quite well. Great country for grave robbing I would imagine.

Most of the country is cold in the winter, but on the southern west coast it's very nice temperature wise. It rarely snows more than a few cm's here each winter, if it snows at all.

I'm from England.

On a satellite station, paramount comedy, they showed it a couple of years ago. I loved it.

I assume you wandered to part of the Downtown East Side. It's not really dangerous at all though, it's just really sad.

As for Vancouver Island, that's where I live and I've never found it to be overly remote. Victoria, the city I live in, has over 300,000 people and Vancouver is about 1.5 - 2 hours away. Some parts of the Island are definitely remote though.

maybe it wasn't dangerous but I panicked. I can handle 10-15 blokes attacking me no problem but now I'm late 30s I reckon I would have struggled with more than twenty thirty.

Stayed in a place called Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island. Very remote and stank of fish ! Was good for the grizzly tour though and whales etc..

East coast of Canada here, from the rebellious "french canada" Strangely enough, the views over here (in general, of course) are a lot like Vancouver: Very liberal, opposite to conservatism and pro-ecology and well known for its will (or let's say by a huge part of french canadians) to split apart from the rest of Canada. In general, the bigger clash comes with the middle's meadows too, especially saskatchewan and Alberta but provinces like New-Brunswick or BC are normally getting great along with Quebec (in general).
As it has been stated before, ideology is quite variable from a Province to another, I would say that starting on each coasts it's more "liberal" and the more you head for the middle, the more conservative it gets, Saskatchewan and Alberta being the most convervatives you can get.
Funny that peoples talk about Trudeau here, he's not hated only in Vancouver but also in Quebec where he's seen as a traitor in Quebec because of the feud with Levesque and peoples were pissed off power 10 when they renamed Dorval Airport P-E-T Airport... especially because ironically, he's the one who, at the time, decided to move everything from Dorval to Mirabel, only to hunt away countless farmers to take possession of their fields to build Mirabel who's not used anymore now.

I am no fan of Trudeau.
