Canada Trip

[Egg Nog]

You might want to keep in mind that the Canadian dollar and American dollar are nearly even now, so don't expect to get a twenty for your ten or anything

Eh, you are aboot to go to Canada. Have fun, eh...

[The_Canuck]

GTFO.

Haha, I'd say go to Montreal but I was just there, too much French if you ask me...

If you're going to go come to Canada make sure you're doing things that you can't do in the states otherwise it's a waste of time, Montreal is a nice city to stay, Toronto would be like a one day thing. Or perhap head up to the Bruce Peninsula for some camping, look up "Cyprus lake".

Ignore ferrarifxx60, he's obviously living in a completely different Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Montreal is a wonderful city, no doubt, as is Toronto. Toronto's highlights:

-The Historic Distillery District (amazing cafes, Toronto's version of Old Montreal)

-Entertainment District. Top 40 clubbing, drum and bass/rave, reggaeton, whatever your scene Toronto has tons of amazing clubs, it also has what is considered the best "rave" scene in North America. (Trance, jungle d'n'b, etc.) It's easy to find events that go till 7 in the morning if you please.

-Live music. Toronto is one of the few Canadian cities that gets amazing concerts. For example I just finished seeing The Roots perform alongside Bad Brains, The New Pornographers, Tegan and Sarah, The Dears, Bedouin Soundclash, and more. Not to mention The White Stripes just the other week. Tons of venues, from small "intimate" clubs to massive outdoor arenas.

-World class theatre. If you're into that, there are always great productions going on at some incredible theatre venues. (Roy Thompson, Four Seasons)

-World class food and culture. I actually STRONGLY advise that you come to Toronto on the weekend of August 9/10/11 if possible. Here's what the city's got lined up for you: Toronto Festival of Beer (hundreds of brewers selling super cheap beer, live music, so much food) and then the same weekend, the Taste of the Danforth, which is a massive food festival. There are tons of great ethnic districts, from Little Italy, Greektown, to Chinatown and Little Portugal. Great French cuisine as well.

As for the city itself, I love it. Parts of it may be bland, but all it takes is a walk through a couple historic districts, the East Beaches, the amazing Harbourfront and Toronto Islands, or the massive glistening towers of the Financial District. If you're into architecture, there are a lot of hidden gems around.

Anyway, that was long and reads like a big advertisement, but I think it's a great city, and well worth the visit. I'll be glad to assist with all travel needs.

edit: In response to Ontario lacking natural beauty, sure it's a bit flat, but check out some of these areas:

-Scarborough bluffs
-Niagara Falls
-Northern cottage country (it's all spectacular, good place to go up and camp)
-Niagara Escarpment

It's actually a local hot...erm...warm spot.
