  Hoping to visit soon this summer! Not too thrilled with the idea of having to come back home, with all this going on.

      Hoping to head out to BC and maybe Alberta last, depending on the amount of time I have. I’ll be driving, I live in Montana so I’m close.

        Aha, “just south of me”, I saw from a thousand miles away.

        If you’re a mountains person, yeah BC is the place to be. But it’s also same-same as what you can see in a lot of places in the US in the mountains. Like, you won’t tell the difference between much of BC and much of Washington.

        If you’ve got the time, go straight north from your location. Way way north. Go to Yellowknife, and do it in March – it’s about three days driving. You’ll get there and they’ll have northern lights galore, ice castles on the lake, people driving their trucks on the ice to their houseboats that have just frozen into the ice for the season…

        Or go in summer and go fishing there. The lake is 600m (1900ft) deep… Trout like tuna.

        Unsolicited advice ends ;)

  hmm, I was thinking about visiting Calgary this summer. What’s up with Alberta?

    They’re trying very hard to be Texas north. The Premier of the province is ignoring science and, in many cases, logic. Anti-vax. That’s one reason they have more measles than the entire USA. There is even a fringe group that wants Alberta to secede from Canada and join the US.

    gramie already mostly answered in line with what I’d say: there is an alt-right political shift there, where the lunatics are running the asylum and we keep expecting for sanity to re-emerge. Every country has a pocket like this somewhere. Most people in Calgary are perfectly nice, in the same way that most people in Omaha are perfectly nice, until a trans person is on TV.

  I’d ignore Quebec, anywhere else is beautiful.
