Canada

I'm a Yank, but the first time I visited Canada, I saw a refreshing difference in the highways being clear of billboards.
 
I live right on the Canadian border. Canada's a decent country, much like the U.S. in many ways. I wouldn't want to live there because of the much higher taxes and more socialist government, but the people are very friendly. My wife and I go over for a vacation once a year during winter.
 
I've been through Alberta, but I live on the border with south Ontario - right by Sarnia. I'm only three hours' drive from Toronto, so this is more eastern, urban Canada. Alberta is a lot like Nebraska, except colder. Economically booming, though, thanks to the oil money.

You live by Sarnia? Cool! I live a few hours away from Sarnia and I've been there a few times. I didn't like it very much. It was too... polluted for my taste. =/

Canada's AWESOME! Wanna see some pictures I took last year for our grad trip? :D

Indeed, that's our opinion here on the west side of the river. The Canadians pride themselves on their "green" outlook, but from our perspective they pump fumes into the air and chemicals into the river and don't clean up after themselves...

Hey, snowflower - I've always wanted to make it to PEI. Are you a L.M. Montgomery fan? Anne of Green Gables and all?

Well that's just Sarnia. Where I live, it's the Americans making the mess.;)

I took them when we were going to Niagara Falls. Some are a little blurry. :eek:

Sorry! I couldn't control myself! :p
 
what part of Canada are you going to? Sorry if you've already answered this. You know places here have really strange names. The one in my "location" is an example. When our class first of that word we burst out laughing. There's a road in Toronto it's called "Drink Water" and there's a street here called "Boi d'eau" which means drink water!
