Did your opinion of Canada changed over the last 3 years?

[The Brain]

Same as it ever was I suppose. I don't follow Canada.

[Martinus]

Neil and BB didn't manage to ruin my opinion about Canada, so no, it hasn't changed.

I've been to Montreal, Toronto twice, Waterloo/Kitchener, and Halifax (+ the ferry to Dartmouth) and enjoyed all of them greatly.   

I'm tentatively planning a trip up to Eastern Quebec and New Brunswick this winter/spring.  Ideally, I'd love to visit Newfoundland, but it seems prohibitively expensive/far away.

I have been to: Niagara Falls (Canadian side), Toronto, Gananoque, and Montreal, though just through Dorval in the case of Montreal.

I ordered a chicken salad platter and the waitress asked if I wanted all white meat or "just whatever."  I of course picked the latter, and though it had some inch-sized pieces of bone and other weird chunks in it, it was actually delicious, and a huge portion for a very reasonable price.

That's the kind of recommendation that belongs on the menu

Same as it ever was. A dead seal is a tragedy, a million dead seals a year is a bloody - very bloody - statistic.

Dear god, why?

Easiest way: take the plane.
Cheapest way: take the ferry from Norht-Sidney, Nova Scotia.

My father went to visit a few years ago, and he liked it.

It's one hell of a ride coming from the US though.  North-Sidney is like, on the extreme north of Nova Scotia.  From Halifax, I think it's a 8-9 hrs ride.  You figure the rest of the trip

If I were you, I'd first visit New-Brunswick.  It's a relatively big province with lots of things to see, particularly on the Acadian peninsula (south east of NB).  This trip alone can take a week if you stop at various places.  Really, there's nothing in the center of province except wood and mooses, so it's all about the coast line, south and east of St-John.


Oh, and there's not much to see in eastern Quebec during winter.  There are wonderful ski resorts in/near Quebec city (Mont Ste-Anne, Stoneham, Massif du Sud), but further east, closer to where I live... not much but snow.  I think most of the museums are even closed for the winter.  So, really, not much to see.  Unless you want to do winter camping, ice-fishing.

Thanks, that seems more reasonable.     I personally can't ski and have no interest in learning, or in any winter sports.  I was interested in seeing some of the great Canadian Shield landscape, but I guess winter's not the best time...

The best that can be said for Pearson is, "I've seen worse". 

The Island airport is nice; I use it all the time when going to common business type destinations - it's two minutes from downtown, no huge crowds, etc. Take Porter if you can ...

Canadian politics took an abrupt turn for the better immediately after I left. Go figure.
