this friend that has been in Winnipeg he has arrived there a few months ago, it was definitely a shock for him, here in Brazil he used to live in the north east, which is the hottest region in Brazil, than he moved to south east (where I live) a couple years ago, but nothing compares to the change to such a cold place, but he is having a great time! And since he is student of a phd thing I think he is my age, so I'm not sure if he is living with a host family or roommates.Originally Posted by Great White North
The friend that is going to victoria is 16, she was designed her host family this week, they definitely seem to be really supportive and an amazing family.
And I'll definetly make a post here if I make it to Canada one day! The alaskan cruise is just something I really hope I can afford in the future, I made a couple of Caribbean cruises and they are such an amazing experience, but since I came back from the last one I'm watching YouTube videos of the alaskan ones xD

Ohh I had no idea there was a Canada Day!! I went many years ago to Quebec to a little town called Gaspé iirc. I was fascinated with everyone's hospitality (and the cold!!!). Unfortunately I've arrived just after snow was melting.
Beautiful landscapes!! The circus, the art, the windmills, the forests, waterfalls... Me and a friend celebrated out birthdays there, wonderful memories.
I hope one day I could get to visit again and more of Canada

Happy Canada Day! I haven’t had the pleasure to travel to Canada yet, but I’m so looking forward for it! I was supposed to go in 2021 but ya'now, the Rona hit and our flight was canceled 😭. My boyfriend has been there and only talks wonders about Victoria and their yummy burgers and excellent beer!

Where in Canada were you going to visit!? Hopefully you have been able to rebook your trip!
happy Canada day! i've only ever been to vancouver and niagra falls once when i was a kid; and as an adult i really want to take a trip to toronto, banff, and jasper national park!
ALSO IVE NEVER HAD POUTINE AND I REALLY WANT TO TRY IT!! fries + cheese curds + gravy? what's there NOT to like?!
I would definitely recommend Jasper and Banff! So much to see and it's beautiful. If you're coming in Summer June is a nice time S the wildlife is everywhere and things are just opening up. The one downside is some lakes and trails don't open up until
Towards the end of June and into July. Winter is also an amazing time come as well for skiing/snowboarding, snowshoeing and hiking!
True poutine with squeekers cheese is amazing!! I have never met a poutine I did not like. All that talk about poutine is making me hungry!

We were gonna go visit Victoria! I was so excited but oh well, things happen for a reason. We had our AirBnB booked for a cute place in Old Town.
We're already going to Mexico City in a couple of days but I'm hopeful we can save enough money to go next year! What would you say it's the best time to go on vacation?

Happy Canada Day!!! I absolutely adore Canada. I only live about an hour and half away from Niagara Falls so I've visited quite a few times. In college we used to make the trek across the border so we could legally drink at 19(we didn't need passports to cross the border yet). A few years ago, I picked up a friend from the Buffalo airport and we made a quick detour across the border to go zip lining at the falls. It was so random but also super fun. I've also been to Toronto a few times. Once as a kid (maybe 13?) with my grandma. We saw the Lion King play, visited a castle, and I had my first mussels! I went to Toronto again to see Childish Gambino perform at the Raptors arena (kind of funny, it was his This is America tour).
More recently, I've been hitting up Toronto to fly internationally. A direct flight to Scotland was half the price going out of Toronto compared to the major US airlines near me.
I took a curling lesson last year and I thought the teachers said it was invented in Canada. Thank you for that Canadians! It was so fun!
I'd love to visit Nova Scotia one day, it looks absolutely beautiful. I'd also like to head way up north, and try to catch the northern lights. A friend starting planning for us to go to a place you can only get to via charter plane, but classic COVID put the breaks on that. I can't remember the name of the location now...
It's around 32°C today for me today, but now all I can think about is making a delicious batch of poutine for dinner tonight.....

We are lucky to call a beautiful country full of nature home, yes! There are few places I would rather be! No matter where you find yourself in Canada, there is plenty to see and do. From coast to coast, mountain to mountain and lake to lake, there is something here for everyone!
We are also lucky to have many great Canadians out there in the world. And yes, I highly agree to the earlier sentiment of Mike Meyers being a great Canadian. Shrek AND Austin Powers? What more could one want in entertainment?
I am going to say though, that we need to do more to educate ourselves and honour the people who were here first: our Indigenous Canadians. This is not intended to be a debate nor political discussion, this is purely educational!
(you need an account to see links) was June 21st, and (you need an account to see links) is September 30.
Action towards (you need an account to see links) can be taken every day by every single one of us.
Learn your local land acknowledgement and use it. Learn whose land you live on. Support Indigenous creators and their communities. Listen to their stories, songs and teachings, and take them to heart. Learn about, support and incorporate their culture where and when you can. Take joy in their music, dancing and celebrations. Recognize the impact the MMIWG has had and continues to have, and to give them the justice they deserve.
Most of all? Lets help end the racism and hatred that Indigenous people often face.
There are tons of educational resources out there for all ages, from preschool age to adult. Here are some places to get started, these are mostly teen to adult based but kids stuff can be found too:

Oh man you're brave in connecting through Toronto. I've heard nothing but nightmares in connecting and even starting your travels at that airport! I wish you all the luck on your upcoming flights! For some reason I thought curling was invented in Scottland lol thanks for teaching me something new with that! I did curling in Highschool Gym class it was lots of fun. I'm glad you enjoy the sport! Also for the northern lights you don't need to go too far north in Canada to see them. I get to be blessed with them in the fall! They are for sure more vibrant and active the the territories but if you time it right you don't have to go to the "nirth pole"Happy Canada Day!!! I absolutely adore Canada.
