Oh Canada. An Amazing Country Coast To Coast

Oh Canada. An Amazing Country Coast To Coast

I love my country and have seen much of it. It's a vast nation. Its ten provinces and territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It covers '9.98' Million square kilometres, making it the world's second-largest country by total area.

Here are some of the highlights, you should add to your travel itinerary.

West Coast – Victoria’s Chinatown



Victoria, British Columbia, has Canada’s oldest Chinatown. Victoria’s Chinatown is also the second oldest in North America.

West Coast – Rocky Mountains


The Rocky Mountaineer train takes you through the breathtaking Rocky Mountains from Vancouver 'to' Lake Louise, 'to' Banff and even Jasper, Alberta. The highest peak in the Canadian Rockies is Mount Robson in British Columbia, at ',972 ft'.

Central Region – Niagara Falls, Ontario


Niagara Falls is one of the seven wonders of Canada. Did you know that the Falls at Niagara are about ',000' ? Annie Taylor, the “Queen of the Mist” and a school teacher from Bay City, Michigan, was the first person '' travel over the Falls in a barrel on October 24, 1901. People still attempt that perilous journey with varying success.

Central Region – Quebec


Quebec City is more than 400 , making it one of Canada’s oldest cities. The city was founded by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Its European vibe is evident in its architecture and cobblestone streets. It’s also the only walled city in North America north of Mexico.

Atlantic Canada/The Maritimes – Hopewell Rocks


Hopewell Rocks, located along the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, is home 'to' the highest tides in the world. The Bay of Fundy is also one of the seven wonders of North America. It features the highest (and lowest) tides, rare marine life, as well as semi-precious minerals and dinosaur fossils. If you visit during low tide you can literally walk on the ocean’s floor. Check my profile and you will see one of the pictures I took there.

Maritimes – Newfoundland


St. John’s, Newfoundland is Canada’s oldest city. It has some of Canada’s oldest buildings, including colourful houses and other buildings that are similar to those found in Spain, Italy and Denmar Newfoundland is also home '' the first Viking settlement site in North America, which is located at L’Anse Aux Meadows, near the northern-most tip of Newfoundland. The people of Newfoundland, affectionately known as 'Newfies' and are the world's friendliest people.

I enjoyed a business trip to Canada a while back, but Ottawa in February was not the warmest of welcomes - I found folk to be very friendly. One day, I should like to see more of the country amd some of its more liberated female citizens!

to answer the question, ive been to niagara falls a couple of times
as a kid/preteen with family vacations,
including once when the american falls was blocked off
for preservation surveying.

as an adult, ive been to toronto once,
to meet a friend of a friend,
but really didnt allow myself enough time to fully explore
as i did philly/toronto/chicago/back to philly in one week.

but i DID see the hockey hall of fame and the stanley cup AND
the world cup of soccer trophy (on loan from the holders ittly)
and a magnificent tribute to terry fox
in the ontario sports hall of fame across the hall from the HHOF.

and i talked with people, warm friendly people, wonderful people.
happy canada day to the best neighbours we could wish for.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

Living in the Detroit area for most of my life, Ontario was a close neighbor. Traveling east, we would 'cut across' from Windsor to Niagara, to eliminate going along the south shore of Lk Erie. On my way to Maine once, I traveled along the north side of the St Lawrence to Quebec. I took the time to take a carriage tour through the city.

I've always wanted to take the train from the Soo to Agawa Canyon.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I have been to Alberta to see Banff National Park (1984) and Ontario and Quebec (1986) to see Algonquin Park and the bluff and plain that was the battle site where the British and French fought in 1759. (Then done into Maine and Acadia and west to Niagra in New York)

I enjoyed the mountains of Alberta, but found the agriculture of Quebec and Ontario interesting as it was quite different from the norm in Iowa.

I was humbled in Quebec Province when I tried to use my high school French to ask for a road map and the young lady spoke so fast that I did not understand any of it. I apologized in English, saying that my French was not that good.

Montreal and Ottawa are colder and get more snow than here in Toronto. No doubt if you came back for a visit, you would not be short of company!

You really should add Canada to your 'must see' list. The Rocky Mountaineer is 'the' way to see the western provinces.

Sounds like quite the adventure. I have taken the Agawa Canyon Train trip. It was so picturesque and the park has several waterfalls. Sadly, the ENTIRE 2020 season has been cancelled in the interest of public health and safety.

'Our' falls really are spectacular. Toronto is a HUGE sports city. I have been fortunate to see each of our professional teams play and even had Toronto Argonaut seasons tickets for a few years. Happy Independence Day on the Fourth!

Sadly, I have not yet been to Banff. I understand what you mean about trying to speak French in Quebec. I studied it all through school and still can understand some of it. However, I have to remind my French friends to slow down and explain any local colloquialisms

I have visited St. Johns Newfoundland back in the mid 1980's for a work trip. The people were very friendly. Around 2 AM the bars close. They lock the doors so new customers can't enter; but customers can stay until 5 am. If they choose to leave sooner they can not return. I spent all night with a woman, her friend and another man who turned out to be a taxi driver. When we left the bar at 5am, we all piled into his taxi and he took us all home, no charge.

"Newfies" as they are affectionately called here, are famous for their kindness, sense of humour and good-naturedness. The musical Come from Away is set in the week following the September 11 attacks and tells the true story of what transpired when 38 planes were ordered to land unexpectedly in the small town of Gander. Good to hear you enjoyed your time in Newfoudland. Thanks for stopping by.
