For you American folk, have you been to Canada? And, if so, where and what did (or didn't) you like about it?

Ive been to Vancouver and loved it :) people are so stylish over there.

Hmmm. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI.

I loved the scenery (Peggy’s Cove, for example). I ate the best potatoes I’ve ever had on PEI. Finding Jasper on the Cape of Gaspe’s shores. There are a lot more.

I love the health care system. I love the sensibility and progressiveness I generally find amongst Canadians. I wish Canada would invade the US and take us over, and fix our problems.

My wife is orginally from Toronto so I have been there on several occasions. I have also visited Ottawa, Kingston, and Gananoque.

I’ve always found Canadian citizens to be outgoing and friendly and all the places I’ve seen in Canada have all been clean and beautiful for the most part.

I was in Canada for my 19th birthday years ago and I didn’t like how the Canadian police were very rude to us. O-wait thats because my dumb A** friend was being rowdy in the bar :)

I went to Montreal with a number of friends a few years ago. We were too young to drink the States…what wouldn’t we like about it! ;). Seriously though, all I saw was the inside of hotels, bars and strip clubs. Maybe i’ll see more of Canada some day. I don’t like that you don’t have Red Bull…it’s damn hard to order a Red Bull and Vodka without it!!!

I’ve been to Montreal. This was quite a few years ago, but I had a wild time. I love the passion the people have for the HABS (Canadiens) and the French women were gorgeous!

Toronto, Windsor, Edmonton. Had a great time every time.

The skiing’s great! Good night scene in many places. Amazing to me how out & about people are there at the height of winter (-30°F in winter).

I’ve been to Victoria a couple of times, as well as Vancouver and Calgary. To me, Vancouver was just another big city. Alberta was beutiful as was Victoria. Victoria was my favorite and I can’t think of any negatives about it besides the rain.

I’ve been to Canada more times than I can count. We vacation near Northbrook/ Cloyne area which is about 6 hours north of Buffalo. It’s a beautiful country. I know all the local boys around here head into the Clifton hill area, because drinking age is 19 and they can go to the strip clubs.

Winnepeg-love that it is so multicultural.
Thunder Bay
I live in MN 10 miles from Ontario border, so I go to Fort Frances just for Tim Horton’s.

I love Canada! I’ve been all over the place. Had a bit of language problems in Quebec but I still loved it. I’d live there if I could!

I have been to Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto. I love Canada. I love the vastness and the small (relatively) population. I once drove across Ontario, the most populous province, and it is mostly rural.

Vancouver has a wonderful European feel, which contrasts with the Britishness of Victoria.

Vancouver Island’s west coast, where I spent a wonderful vacation, is very rugged and remote. I loved Pacific Rim National Park.

They have a fantastic ferry system. Interesting media and arts culture. Toronto is a wonderful city.

Some segments of the population sort of coast. I know people who would stay on unemployment as long as possible, and then only work until they earned enough to go back on.

On the other hand, there is a lively technology culture there.

I think their justice system is much more civilized than ours in some ways.

@kruger_d a bit of lurve for the Timmie’s.

Been to Vancouver / Calgary / Toronto. I liked Vancouver a lot.

I went to college in Buffalo, which is a 20 minute drive to Niagara Falls. I didn’t really go across the border specifically to do the underage drinking thing, but I did like to go for other fun reasons. I spent one week each summer for about 8 years in St. Catharines, Ontario for the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. I’ve been to Toronto a couple of times, which is a very clean and friendly city despite how large it is. I observed a much more accepting, friendly and diverse community there. I had a very positive experience each time I went for a visit.

Half of our coaching staff and many of my teammates on the rowing team were Canadian. They are people just like you and me. One difference was that I lived in the same state and had to drive 5 hours to get home. They lived in a different country and could be home in 30 minutes.

And my favorite band ever is Canadian (Barenaked Ladies).

The worst part, by far, about Canada is getting back into the United States.

@adreamofautumn Red Bull is everywhere in Vancouver and has been for years. They even have an office here!

I went to Stowe, Montreal, and Toronto on my honeymoon. It was the best three weeks of my life (in case my wife reads this) oops. I thought Montreal had more culture than Toronto and the food was much better.

I grew up in the Detroit area, so trips to Windsor were a regular part of life – and I’ve made lots of other trips to the London area and eastern parts of Ontario for camping.

I love Canada. The people are friendlier, the attitudes are more relaxed, and the scenery is somehow even more beautiful than Michigan (which I love). If I had the opportunity, I’d gladly live there.

Victoria & Vancouver. Loved both, including the people in the Victoria area and Stanley Park.

I’ve been to Toronto and Montréal. I think they’re both beautiful cities. Niagara Falls, ON? Not so much. But what can I expect when the American side is such a dump? I went through Thunder Bay; it was very small. I like it that there’s definitely a difference between Canada and the US. I would like to visit Montréal again in spring.

Just came in from having a few CC (Canadian Club) and Gingerale (along with some gin/tonic avec lime – en francais). Lurve all around. =)

Mmm. CC7s used to be my drink of choice.
