Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.
This question is an easy one. Canada. I love Ontario and have visited Toronto, Brampton, and Niagara Falls. I would also entertain New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island. Calgary looks like an interesting place. I hear Montreal is beautiful too but I am not bilingual. Saskatchewan would be interesting too especially Regina.
To my friends in Canada, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. May your families and friends enjoy this time being together, feasting, and remembering the good things about being True North. May you also be mindful of those in the First Nations communities who are still seeking truth and reconciliation for a troubled past. I love Canada very much.
The missus and I traveled to Canada for vacation two weeks ago and had a great time. We started our journey on a bus going to Detroit where we visited friends of ours for a couple of days. Then we crossed the border on a Sunday to spend four days in Toronto/Brampton then Niagara Falls.
We visited cool places in Michigan such as The Edsel Ford Estate, Grosse Pointe, and St. Jane’s Catholic Church. During our time in Canada, we found our way to The Eaton Centre, The Royal Museum of Ontario, The Toronto Police Museum, Niagara Falls, Skylon Tower, The Niagara Power Station, Tim Hortons (many times), Canadian Tire, Shoppers Drug Store, and Dollarama.
We also enjoyed some quality time together in two unique Airbnb’s where we could chill out, eat local snacks, and watch plenty of Canadian television. It was great to get away and enjoy some fresh sights, and sounds.
Here are a few pictures from our time away. I hope you enjoy them.
