Where to go in Canada?

Because me and my partner are taking our hols there this year.

Anyone have any advice on where to go?

Montreal rocks. Are you flying into Montreal from the UK? I've heard good things about Quebec City as well..

Toronto can be a lot of fun as well... Northern Ontario for wildlife and camping if you're into that sort of thing...

Were you planning on hitting the west coast, or hanging around the east? I've never been east of Quebec City, but I've heard the Maritimes are nice...

I've been all over, but I can't remember jack. Montreal is incredible. Bypass Ottawa if you can. Toronto is alright, as is my old stomping grounds of the Niagara Region (esp. Niagara-On-The-Lake). Camping is nice, if you like mosquitos, damp tents and bears roaming around your site. Just got back myself. When you're going will probably largely determine where you're going. What kind of things do you enjoy, anyway?

Toronto's cheap right now, as SARS has slain our tourist industry for the summer. If you're into fancy hotels and musicals, there's some good deals, although it depends on when you're visiting.

Montreal's also a good launching place to head out east, which is a good option if you want to get away from an urban environment. Halifax is gorgeous and one of the friendlist places you'll ever find. (really - every time I go out east, I wind up at some stranger's kitchen party at three a.m., drunkenly singing along to folk songs).

I went to Michigan recently. In Port Huron and Detroit I was close enough to spit into Canada, so I did.

I guess Canada could be OK if the gods moved it about 20 degrees closer to the equator and smote all those whiny Canadans.

Yes, I'm back. Blame Ganesh.

I got my first tattoo in Niagara Falls. I could not, however, find a motel with a heart-shaped bed or a tub shaped like a martini glass, and that was sorely disappointing.

...smote all those whiny Canadans.

Amen. I hate those Canadans. All their Canadan whining brings the property value down. Fucking Canadans.

Canada!? WTF ya' want to go there for—SARS ridden cesspool it is n' all. And yeah, let’s smote the Canadians—those folks are thinkin’ about legalizing queer marriages, decriminalizing pot, and those whiny sombitches didn’t even fight behind (or would it have been under—again?) those brave American soldiers—with all their smart bombs and lasers, and all their depleted uranium ammunition and night vision—who were off to liberate the oi—I mean people of Iraq. Yeah, those Canadians are the worst whiners and flimsiest fuckers ever.

Let’s nuke ‘em.

You've got an "amen!" here, … >0< …, but if you check your grammar guide you'll find it's "if the gods moved Canada and smote the Canadans" but "let's smite the Canadans." Verbs can be tricky like that...

Yeah--those damn verbs! Tricky bastards n' all: coming over here--stealing all our jobs.

Let's nuke 'em too!

I will remind you that we burned down the White House in the war of 1812.
But don't despair, we also sadly supply probably most of your Uranium. We are also poised under our new Conservative overlords to do to Afghanistan what you guys did to Iraq.

Montreal is my favourite place I've ever been to ever. Just turn up and have a wander and have random chats. You'll get into it straight away. And meet with the Montreal lithers. May, Pookie, R+R and Keggers will show you a good time and take you places. You won't wanna leave. I didn't. In fact, I'm keeping my eye out to see if I can get a job there or something, despite only speaking English.
