Journal Tet's Journal: Canada 14

Journal by Tet
OK, so with this dull meme that's going around, it seems few have you have ever been to Canada. Why on earth not? It's a really cool place, and since you mostly live on that side of the pond, you don't have a 4 figure price tag attached to your flight, either. What's your excuse? Do you guys just not go abroad or something?

  • Mostly for hockey... but just a few weeks ago I was in Tornto for business. very cute town
  • I already have about 15 other US states to see; why should I go to Canada before going to North Dakota or Hawaii?

    All kidding aside, we are an incredibly provincial people, most of whom never go more than a few hundred miles from home, let alone a different country. And as much as I'd like to travel overseas, finances preclude that. As do concerns over a certain amount of animus that has raised to fever pitch in the past few years.

    I've been to Canada two or three times, including honeymooning in Quebec.
  • But I have been to Canada several times. The area north of Lake Superior is beautiful. My father took us on a fishing expedition on Lake Nipigon in 1967, which was very cool. Quebec City is really neat. Great historical stuff. Lots of good camping; I remeber the Laurentides being particularly beautiful. I've not been to the west, though my brother says that the Banff area is very nice.
    • Banff is pwned by me. I LOVE BANFF.

      I've been to Canada tons. I don't know many people around here that haven't. You can see naked people on normal TV in Canada too--which is nice.

      Everytime I'm up there, there's a new Liberal group up there protesting and asking the government to butt into something new though. Like, the "Anti-Roadkill Society" asking for mandatory jail time for everyone who kills wildlife with his car.

      I KID YOU NOT this is true--it may not be called the Anti-Roadkill Society, but there
      • You can see naked people on normal TV in Canada too

        Oh yeah... I keep forgetting how utterly fucked up American society is. You can show some guy beating up his wife, having a foul mouthed tirade against the evils of blacks/gays/whoever, or going on a rampage with automatic weaponry and wiping out half the neighbourhood, but showing a woman's breast or a guy's ass? Nope. Couldn't possibly allow that. It'll corrupt the innocent, and lead to the degredation of society, you know. I know I've asked this before

        • I know I've asked this before but I can't remember the answer. What happens when Hollywood films are shown on TV? Do they just cut out the parts with nudity? How do they maintain continuity, as for some films at least, that would decimate them.

          Yep ... they just cut the parts with naughty bits showing usually. Every once in a while you'll see the 'blur' used instead.

          They also do this for in-flight movies too.

          Cable is a whole 'nother kettle of fish and typically will show the movie uncut though some basic cab

  • But on my "places to visit" list :-)
  • No, really... we were within 10 miles of the border, and I wanted to go to Canada, but they said they were tired and wanted to go home.

    As to why I haven't gotten around to making the 4-5 hour drive on my own...I have no excuse.

  • To Halifax, Nova Scotia.

    During the Fall.

    Lovely Plumage.
  • We're not all ethnocentric prudes. Yes, I'm a Californian, suburban, middle class, publicly educated, white kid but I'd been to Banff, Jasper, Victoria and nearly every state (including Alaska) well before I was a teenager and mostly done camping out of a car during summers. Credit to my parents. Since finishing school a few years ago I've been to every continent and stood on the highest point on two of them. I've been to Europe four times (if you count England for one of those trips) and Africa once in the
    • So get off my back with your poor teeth, pale skin, south London accent, royal worshiping, fish and chip eating, boy band loving, cricket playing, shitty car making, can't beat the Germans without our help attitude.

      Hmmmm. Let's go over those points one by one:

      • Poor teeth. Uhhh.... nope. In fact, I have yet to lose all my milk teeth!
      • Pale skin. Yep, and proud of it. Not only is a tan unhealthy, it also looks awful. But that's just MHO.
      • South London accent. How dare you? Saarf Laahnden doesn't exist.
