Visiting Canada

. ca... Shashay Doofray wrote: Tigsnona wrote in message ... A news item the other day listed countries that appealed to tourists. Canada was way down the list and came out only marginally ahead of Iraq! I couldn't believe it. Is the climate a problem for tourists? Or has Canada priced itself out of the market? The survey was internationally-based and reputable apparently. TigsNona I have been to Canada many times and although I find nothing wrong with it in particular, I don't think it would be very high on my list as a future vacation destination. Canada is a terribly bland country. The people are just so nice, and everything is just so clean and proper. There isn't much that I find of interest or fun. Even Toronto, who most people seem to rave about as a destination seemed rather dull to me when I was there the last time. I guess it's just one of those things you have to experience first hand to understand. And the food is pretty crummy too, generally speaking. Those people put BUTTER on their sandwiches. I could never get used to that - although the Tim Horton's Doughnuts are fantastic. SD I have visited over 30 US States and could say very much the same thing about much of what I have seen... You are absolutely right. There are tons of American cities that are significantly worse than anything you would find in Canada. Besides being filthy they are desperately crime ridden and a person would be a fool to be caught out at night alone. This is one thing I NEVER found in Canada. I always felt immensly safe there. I live in Vancouver - Ocean, Mountains, Native Art, Islands, Skiing, Boating, Hiking, Majestic forests, Theater, Restaurants with food from every corner of the globe... so we lack the amusement parks, we have everything else in spades! Of all the Provinces, I must adimit Vancouver has got to be the best, certainly the most beautiful. SD |

And let's not forget that the opposite is true as well. That there are American cities that are safer (and cleaner) than some Canadian cities. We went through all this in the travel.usa-canada newsgroup several times over the last few years, with ample stats to demonstrate the point. I won't belabor it. Nex |
