I figured Covid-19 and M-Pox would be gone by then and tourism deals will be plentiful that year.
I do want to eventually visit the Canadian side post pandemic. I also want to visit Fort George. I am slightly afraid @prairie_girl might throw my lucky mini USA soccer ball over the falls though.
This pandemic isn’t over and I have a health condition that puts me at risk if I get Covid (I am
% vaccinated though).Siri or Alexa, Canadian edition.
That makes for an excellent question we’ve not yet discussed: @Buzz Rules , have you ever actually been to Canada? Or the UK? Or ever out of the US at all? Tell us a little bit about your travel experience. (World Showcase doesn’t count.Wait...Buzz wants us to put off this trip until 2026??? And why does he stay on the American side of the falls? This is his golden opportunity to experience the country through our eyes.
My next question...we have BC to Manitoba fairly well covered, but who is going to step in and guide us the rest of the way?
Oh yeah, and one other thing...SHOTGUN!!!

If you take precautions, you can travel safely. Jump in a car and visit the good side of Niagara Falls.This pandemic isn’t over and I have a health condition that puts me at risk if I get Covid (I am
My husband grew up in a town in western NY, about an hour from Niagara Falls. We will visit both sides every few years. I do think the Canadian side has the better view.
They were cherries from BC on sale at $4.99/lb. Cheaper to buy them in Florida then back home in Ottawa!Did you happen to notice the price and if they were actually from BC? It's a long way from there to Florida. They also do grow some fruit in the Niagara region of Ontario and in Nova Scotia but I don't think either area is renowned for cherries.
It wasn't a great year for BC cherries; they were late ripening and the harvest was smaller than usual (so they tell me). They didn't arrive here in Calgary until the third week of July and at that, they were $8.99/lb. Over the season I got them as low as $4.99/lb one week on sale but mostly they were very, very expensive this year. So far, the peach season seems to be similar.Is there anybody here from the Okanagan that can tell us exactly what the problems were this spring?
Not really. I don’t have the money to travel to Europe or Canada. I deeply value the WS because when I was young that was my affordable way to interact with other countries up close. Since I was a kid, I researched many countries and their history and how US history may be connected. I went to good schools that encourage all students to research places and time periods we knew nothing about. Specifically for Canada, I always thought your country was interesting. We share the same language and some history but we think differently on several important issues. I found that fascinating given how close we are geographically. I treasure that our shared border is one of the most peaceful in the world. I enjoy our neighborly banter when it comes to sports. I’m in awe when I see our national parks and the partnerships we have to make them the best they can be. My parents have enjoyed plenty of trips to your country and always had enjoyable experiences. I just haven’t had the opportunity yet. I do watch your news and listen to your radio stations from different areas once in awhile to see how some of our national storylines are covered in your country. I do enjoy viewing your country through vlogs and official tourism videos. It’s a cheap version of a staycation with no passport required.That makes for an excellent question we’ve not yet discussed: @Buzz Rules , have you ever actually been to Canada? Or the UK? Or ever out of the US at all? Tell us a little bit about your travel experience. (World Showcase doesn’t count.
Canada does cover U.S. news highlights quite regularly, but this is something that is very rarely reciprocated through US news feeds.
NBC, ABC, and CBS do cover some Canadian stories.

Again, I feel like it is super rare. Plus, the times when Canada does make the news, it is usually due to something quirky/insane that has happened, where the US picks the event up as a human interest story, not as real news. I wish I could remember what had happened, but one night years ago, we were watching the news and I heard Saskatchewan mentioned. I had to call my mom and ask her what on earth was going on up there, that they made the US news. Of course there is the occasional time where the U.S. will do a story and "complain" about how Canada won't take their milk or whatever, in an attempt to raise the pitchforks. In most cases, no American news reporting of Canada is good news for us.
I always forget that it’s not a mainstream thing everywhere else.Hey, @prairie_girl! I was today year's old when I first heard about "honey dill." We need to add that to the list of Canadian food items now.
