    Find some good poutine and challenge a moose to a dual. Seriously though idk. I've only been to Niagara side, Toronto and the Mennonite side to visit relatives.

    Igloos, beaver and bacon, that's what we're all about!

    Canadian moose, much like Canadian girls, will usually drink you under the table, be careful!

    If you're anywhere near Montreal take the "scenic route" up Mount Royal! Quite the trek and beautiful at that. Also - jet boating through the rapids...make sure you sit in the front if you're an adrenaline junkie (I am, too!)

    French toast?? Yuck. Pancakes with maple syrup and poutine.

    But he's going to the west coast. @BenniBlanc0 you're starting in Vancouver I guess? There's tons to do out there

    Umm never heard of the steam roller front lawns. I am guessing that is when it snows...that would make sense. However, our country is not Frozen all the time contrary to popular belief!!! :D

    Unfortunately I have never done the trip that you are looking for, but I do now there are many beautiful places to visit. Mountains to climb!!! Something I look forward to doing one day.

    BTW wrong coast of Canada to find some "Good" Poutine!! Good luck on that challenge of the moose too...you will most likely come across some on your trek!!

    I hope you have fun, Canada is a beautiful Country!!

    Well duh. Centre of the universe and all

    Vancouver is awesome though and he'll be in the Rockies. Lots of adventure tours he can do there probably some white water rafting I'm sure

    Calgary you can go to the Olympic Park I think and do the live run and stuff like that. Banff is beautiful and Lake Louise...all those lakes are just amazing to look at really. You can hike through mountains. I have a relative who works part of the year at a Lodge on the bc Alberta border you have to either hike, ski or helicopter to...Prince William and Kate helicoptered in to stay there.

    Do the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper. You can walk on a glacier. Stop in Canmore at the Grizzly Paw. They are a micro brew distillery.

    If I remember correctly Albertans drive really quickly too...so don't worry about obeying speed limits. Haha. Canadians are nice people but we believe speed limits are really just a recommendation

    Are you in the foreground or the background? Please tell.

    That's kind of a dick thing to say.

    Agreed.
