I was born in PEI, but grew up in Ontario. The beauty of Canada is that each province has it's own remoteness one can disappear into, to get away from the fast pace of city life. They each have it all, but just a little different from each other.
I have lived in BC (Vancouver), The Yukon (Whitehorse), Alberta (Edmonton), Saskatchewan (Moose Jaw), Manitoba (Winnipeg, Dauphin, Miami, Hamiota) and Ontario (too many town/cities/villages to list.) I have visited every province east of Ontario. It's nice to have at least 3 weeks of vacation to make those trips so satisfying and worthwhile. As a teenager (my dad was stationed in Germany), we visited at least 9 other countries spending at least a week and kept going back to the Netherlands as often as we could. I don't think there is another country as beautiful as Canada. Now if those airfares would come down so I can see Nunavut and Labrador I can die fufilled.
You never have to go too far to immerse in nature. I am Canadian . I am a senior and would love to take a motor home and 18 foot boat and a smaller boat and travel throughout Canada starting with simply driving the Trans Canada highway from West to East Coast. Taking a couple months to dally along the way.
I just discovered your videos and am binge watching them. Absolutely love the watching the expressions on your face. Similar to the joy you get when you introduce your child to something new. I'm 80 and 5th generation Canadian. So happy that you love Canada. Our first Prime Minister was from Scotland. A lot of Scottish influence in the birth of Canada. Btw, curling is big in Canada. I know you will visit some day. You are so very welcome
Quite honestly, it doesn't really matter which province you pick there are interesting cities (granted some bigger than others) and quiet, peaceful, beautifully scenic waterways, full of wildlife a short drive away in every one of them. They are all very special in their own way and I think people who visit would have a hard time saying they didn't enjoy themselves. I'm very blessed to have been born in such a beautiful place. Thank you for the lovely videos💗
It is difficult to get a good picture of the various provinces in these tiny clips. Here in British Columbia there is enormous geographic diversity. You can go from Arctic tundra, through vast plains, on through mountain passes, amazing vineyards, including a desert, drive to a rainforest in the same day and make plans to go surfing in Tofino. What other country has all that in just one section of it?!
I know BC is an amazing province...I grew up camping in Penticon every summer and loved every minute of it. I grew up mostly in Alberta (where we have prairies, mountains, deserts, hoodoos, marshes, an insane amount of natural lakes, tundra, badlands, etc) but had the opportunity to live in Winnipeg for all of High School and first year of University. I didn't think much of moving there. I thought it would be boring and without trees. Manitoba has a way more diverse range of trees and such compared to Alberta (at least where I grew up due to the high altitude) and an incredible culture. I LOVED it there, even if people seem to bypass going there. It opened my eyes and grew my belief that, as Canucks, we do not explore our own country enough beyond our small radius. I, too, am guilty. PEACE and sorry for the long tirade.
Hello from New Brunswick! Unfortunately, New Brunswick is often seen as a “drive-through province” - that is, a place to just drive through on your way to somewhere else. But we do have some cool things to offer. We’re home to the French Fry Capital of the World, which is the town of Florenceville-Bristol. We have the longest covered bridge in the world. In the tourism video you watched, you saw some footage of the Hopewell Rocks, which are very cool rock formations in the Bay of Fundy caused by erosion (unfortunately we’ve lost a couple of them to storms in recent years). There are historical villages you can visit to learn about our province’s history - one near Fredericton is called Kings Landing and focuses more on English-speaking settlers, while there’s also an Acadian historic village in Caraquet. New Brunswick’s capital is Fredericton, and its two other largest cities are Moncton and Saint John. We’re also Canada’s only bilingual province - French and English are both our official languages (though most of the population is English-speaking). Personally, one of my favourite places in New Brunswick is Saint Andrews, a charming seaside town where you can go whale watching, explore cool shops, and visit a haunted hotel. It may not be as exciting as some other provinces, but New Brunswick is home, and it’s so beautiful.
Honestly most people think that the majority of the population speaks english but most of the population north and east of Fredericton and Saint John speak French (even Moncton has a large French speaking population). I’m Acadian and often visit the coastal regions towards Shediac all the way up to Bathurst and even Edmundston and pretty much everyone speaks French. I’ve brought my girlfriend (an English speaker) to visit the rest of the province over the last couple years and she’s baffled by how many people speak French. I’d say about a third of the population is French but most English speakers don’t get to experience that since our French and English communities seem so separated from one another. Also most French people speak English because it’s such a necessity in todays day and age and most English people can’t speak French.
We, as Canadians, tend to take our natural surroundings for granted sometimes. Watching others react to what we see every day makes me go "Wow, I live here?" The new perspectives are certainly eye opening and appreciated. All the best from Super Natural British Columbia.
I commute by ferry. It's often only when you hear the gasps from the tourists in the summer, that you actually remember to appreciate it. On the bigger ferries to the mainland, in the summer they have wildlife experts on board to point out and teach about the animals we see all the time
Each province has it's own special beauty. I live in Ontario and I love it but to me the most beautiful province would be Newfoundland and Labrador. It has so much rugged, natural beauty and lovely small towns and villages, but also the beauty of the peoples kindness and friendliness. I agree with the other commenters that tell you to watch the Newfoundland tourist commercials.
Manitoba has it all! Lots of sunshine days, vastly different landscapes from wheat fields to boreal forest, eastern manitoba is absolutely unique in it’s natural history and stunningly beautiful. Wild.
PEI is known for their red sand, potato farming, lobsters, the Confederation bridge, and Anne of Green Gables, not to mention that it is the birthplace of Confederation. I have only been there once, but it is the most peaceful, lovely, charming Province in Canada. I loved it there and I would go back in a heartbeat.
I could go on, but it blows me away, too. That's where the surreal comes into play. It's a sense of pride, and brings a tear to your eye, to be blessed to be alive.
As a Canadian, living on Vancouver Island all my life, and briefly in the interior of British Columbia in various locations, any time the desire to get away from it all strikes all you have to do is drive in virtually any direction for a half hour or less that is not towards a string of towns/cities. You'll be in the bush, guaranteed, probably on some river or lake nowhere near anyone else. Most people I know go camping on weekends from May to October or so. All my life that's just what you do. In the interior almost every town is on the the edge of the wilderness. As Rick Mercer put it with his mock anthem in Talking to Americans: "Oh Canada, a great big empty land..."
I'm born and raised in Alberta, but Manitoba has a place in my heart. My father was born and raised at Winnipeg Beach in Manitoba He told us of an old wooden roller coaster that was there when he was a kid. He was also a CFL fan. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers was his team. Crow! He even had the Bomber Room which was the rumpus room he had painted blue and gold. He had a man cave before anyone thought it was cool. lol
These are fantastic videos!!! I'm from Quebec which I find beautiful, but man, these make me want to go to every province! Funny thing is that Manitoba would have been low on the provinces I'd want to visit, but having watched a few videos lately and finding out you can see the polar bears up close in Churchill Manitoba, and the Northern Lights, it's now one of my top provinces to visit. So happy to live in this beautiful country! Plan to see it as much as I can. And yes, I prefer the more natural places rather than big cities. 🙂
As an Albertan who lived in Manitoba and love both, I have always wanted to visit Quebec but feel intimidated as I cannot speak French at all, really. A recent video caressed Montreal as the best Canadian city and Calgary (my hometown) as second best. Interesting, eh?
You mentioned - actually showed a video by - JJ McCullough - I was pleased to hear that pretty much every one has the Sam opinion about him as I do. If you want a much more realistic - and less offensive - tour guide to Canada, I’d recommend 'DownieLive'. He actually goes places and has genuine interest and enthusiasm. - I might ask for some thumbs up on this post - or down - not for me but for Michael Downie, and the way he explores and explains Canada
I'll definitely look for DownieLive, and will prob subsribe to his channel. Whoever he is he should probably get more subscribers than JJ, if he hasn't surpassed him already. Time to switch up that algorithm. I'll do my part. Thanks. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@djdissi he started out doing Canadian stuff - in Vancouver during lockdown I think? Then did some rail trips, then he was offered a series and seems to be being invited all over the place. He’s a nice wholesome guy, he’s enthusiastic and curious
You can’t go wrong visiting any province, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are my favorites , I have been to the east and west coast.I was born in Alberta and living in Ontario. When you commented on cowboys in Alberta it brought to mind a song about a father speaking to his son “ You’re just a Newfie in a Calgary hat” I don’t appreciate Canada as much as I should but I am always reminded of lucky we are when outsiders point it out.🇨🇦
I have crossed Canada several times and I have lived in most of the provinces. Each has their own beauty, but for some reason I keep coming back to Quebec. Quebec is called "La Belle Province" aka "The beautiful Province" . I love the French culture, the food, and every part of Quebec has it's own feel, more European. It's like the whole of Canada in one province. It has mountains, thousands of lakes, forests, waterfalls, flat farm land, rolling hills, it is surrounded by water and ocean.
I love Manitoba. My parents were from there and we spent many summer holidays there. The beaches are beautiful. Alberta is my province and it's fantastic. Horses and cowboy culture is a huge part of our identity. We gave more horses than any other province, cattle ranching is a big part of the economy. A yearly celebration, the Calgary Stampede, which honours our heritage and draws over a million people every year in July.
Im from Vancouver, BC, if I was going to holiday, I would go to Vancouver Island, or one of the smaller islands in the gulf. You can see Victoria, which is a beautiful City and the seat of the government in BC, or backpack to a walk in only area and camp on the beach. Everything you might want to see.
(Remember to breathe) Travel Alberta (name of video) with a song by Wil is the best travel ad I've ever seen. It's definitely worth a watch. The song is : "Roam".
Born and raised in Ontario, but I'm struck by how similar all of these seemed. There's a great deal of geographical and cultural variety across the country, but these tended to flatten them: forests, waterfalls, canoes and kayaks, skating, etc.
I didn't have much of a picture of Saskatchewan and especially Manitoba from movies or travel brochure pictures until I came across Giselle Waldner and Adina Walters 's channels. It was particularly helpful,as mostly all I knew was the "A bear named Winnie" film (Which mostly shows the train taking soldiers to England) showing the story of the bear named Winnipeg (which is funny when you think of it's meaning:dirty water ,and attach pooh,to it), and an image of grain elevators next to flat fields with Saskatchewan 'Canada's bread basket' .
The ineresting place in the Ontario advert appears to be Point Pelee, The southern most point of Canada. At 41.9628° N which is about 0.2° (about 23 kms) north and 42° east of Crescent City, CA, USA at 41.7557°N. The northern most point in Ontario is 56.8559°N on the shores of Hudson's Bay. About 1,700kms apart.
What i remember Manitoba, especially Winnipeg, for is SOCIALS. They have the most and best turnouts for socials to raise money for weddings, anything. Went to lots in the 70s and 80s.
From Toronto Ontario. You can go down any street or shop. And what you see is people from all over the world. Who emigrated to Canada to help build our nation. Yes we have majestic scenery in every province. But, the people make it different.
I have both lived and worked in every province except NFLD. The vastness of our country cannot be expressed without seeing it for yourself. Every turn in the road of the world’s longest highway (over 7000km) will provide another scene of beauty. If you are to travel to Canada, I believe the one variable you must consider are the people. The friendliest are hands down Newfoundland, laid back and friendly. In the Maritimes you will find that the kitchen table is the most important piece of furniture. Very social Canadians, very friendly. Lots of history as the east is much older than the west. Lots of flies in summer. Next we have Quebec. Again very beautiful, very historic and the only province to kick our family out for being English speaking. The only province with language police and a separatist provincial government. Quebec City’s board walk is unbelievable. There’s so much history, at least from a Canadian point of view. But I don’t think I would venture out at night. Old Montreal is lovely with old limestone churches everywhere. There’s so many sites to see, all easily accessible by the underground Metro train. Next we have Ontario. Home of the Great Lakes. The largest fresh water lakes in the world. Much of Ontario to the north is bedrock with little soil covered in miles and miles of forest, dotted with thousands of post card beautiful lakes. Southern Ontario is fertile soil, great fishing, with locks and canals in the Thousand Islands district. The rural people are like most Canadians, friendly, polite and just fun to be around. Then we come across Toronto, probably Canada’s best known city. Do yourself a favour. Don’t stop, just keep driving. Although Toronto believes the sun rises and sets on them, it really doesn’t. Manitoba and Saskatchewan introduce you to hard working farmer and Canada’s prairies. Miles and Mike of farm land. In Clear Lake in Manitoba is a great place to stop. Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan are totally different with forests and lakes and mosquitoes that call pick you up and fly away. Even so the wildlife and country will pull you in. It’s just incredible. Alberta where I have set my roots has just about everything Canada has to offer. Wide open areas, Prairie’s, Forests, Deserts and without a doubt the best mountains in the entire world. Alberta has the highest population of younger Canadians, being that many from the east have relocated here for work which is generally available and can pay very well. I think I like it here for it mildly winters -15 on average, light snowfall, with light dry snow that easily shovelled. The 2 negatives are Alberta’s lack of lakes, and the easts unending desire to pillage our resources. BC is a short run over the mountain. A completely different climate. Warmer temperatures, much more rain (especially on the coast). Driving through BC your are embraced by the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, the wildlife, the friendly people. Vancouver is another large city as such has large city issues. It warm winters tend to attract many homeless during the winter. Yet like Montreal you just need to look beyond this as there so much to see. Don’t forget to take the ferry to Vancouver Island. It’s just in credible. There a garden that will simply knock your socks off. You asked if you should visit the large cities. I would suggest that if you must that you spend very little time. The vastness and beauty isn’t in the cities. It’s in Banff, Jasper, Waterton, Moncton, Hotel Frontenac Quebec City, Saint Catherine’s Montreal, Niagra Falls (worlds largest tourist trap), The Thousand Islands (Ontario), Mineral hotsprings (Moosejaw), and all of BC. Plan to stay for a while. PLEASE DONT take the scenic train through the mountains (stupid expensive). Rent a car, buy a picnic basket, drive a little and stop a lot.
The interesting thing you pointed out in the Ontario video is Point Pelee, which is the southernmost land point of Canada. As kids we always enjoyed going to Point Pelee National Park so we could walk to The Point. Just south of that tip is Pelee Island which lies in Lake Erie. Thanks for showcasing the provinces in these great videos. Canada is truly a magnificent country. 👏👏🇨🇦
Alberta has mountains, lakes, foothills, desert like badlands(huge dinosaur excavation area- great museum) prairies and so much more. Every province is unique and has it's own beauty. I am Canadian and have lived in 4 different provinces over the years. Loved them all.
I agree that every province has unique beauty to it but, as an Albertan, I agree that Alberta is pretty unique for having such a wide range of landscapes!
From the heights to the "Hey, don't get too big for your britches dude!". I did 8 sold out shows where the Winnipeg Jets play. 32 thousand folks each, as the ticket guys said.. Drove ten hours and played in Dauphin, Manitoba, in a converted barn hockey arena. capacity 200. Same pay! Had to wait for a "Beefalo" sale/exhibit to end before we could set up! Yes, I said Beefalo.
Greetings from Prince Edward Island, I live about 3km from that last shot on Brackley Bay. I live in a log home. Your videos are top quality, well done. I was born in Ontario, lived in Quebec, worked in Manitoba and New Brunswick, this is a vast country and you cover it well, all the best !
Having had the privilege of visiting every Province in our beautiful country on numerous occasions, I can honestly say each is so special and worthy of a visit. The activities, historical places, landscapes second to none, freshwater lakes and beaches that go on forever, and above all the incredible, friendly people, from sea, to sea, to sea, provide a visit to Canada one you will never forget. Chimo
I recently watched Bob & Doug McKenzie Molson Beer commercials 1997! I think you might enjoy it! Your channel is awesome it brings back lots of memories!🇨🇦👍
New Brunswick really is about the people. It has beautiful natural landscapes of course, like everywhere in Canada, but what sets it apart is its wonderful friendly communities.
Mother is from Newfoundland, met my father who is from the Gaspe, married, and had me in Newfoundland. As an army brat had the privilege of living in Europe and in many Canadian provinces. Met my husband in Vancouver, BC. When we decided to move to Ontario, we drove. Seeing his awe as we travelled made me open my eyes again to the beauty of Canada. Almost like watching you! Husband is from the Adriatic which is as beautiful but in different ways.
In the Alberta video, the initial shot of the mountains and kites is taken in Waterton Lakes National Park. It’s a shared peace park with Glacier National Park in the USA. Also about the cowboys…. A large part of Alberta is prairie and grass land. Great for crop growing and cattle rearing, hence the long history with the cowboy.
Please consider reviewing a video on the Calgary Stampede. The focus is on a big city essentially shutting down to party for over a week. I’m from BC but it was always worth travelling to in order to soak up some real Canadian spirit.
Being Canadian I really enjoyed this video. Friendly reminder, Canada consists of 10 provinces and two territories, being the Yukon and the Northwest Territories which are also very diverse and beautiful
Thank you! I'm from Manitoba, love it and this video shows some of Manitoba's greatest assets! We've also got Little Limestone Lake, which is the world’s largest example of a marl lake. Folklorama, the world's largest and longest-running multicultural festival started today, with 40 pavilions featuring countries from around the world, including our own Métis, First Nations, and canadien-français pavilions. We also have a Scotland Pavilion.
Yes and they showed Gimli too I recognized the viking festival in the clip! Such a great montage with many glimpses of great places and famous Manitoba venues, not just the fields, or the Forks❣
We've got Camp Hughes as well. It contains the largest and most complete life-sized WW1 trench system replica on the planet. It was designed, created and used for training in the trench warfare tactics definitive of that period, most notably the famed creeping barrage tactic seen at Vimy Ridge and other major theaters of WW1.
I am from Calgary, but I was lucky enough to live in Winnipeg for all of high school and first year University (U of W). I LOVED my time there and got to travel all over the province. I loved the culture and arts the best...and the old buildings! Calgary is notorious for knocking down old buildings and erecting new ones. WE hardly have ANY real history in comparison to anywhere in Manitoba but especially Winnipeg.
That is so cool! I love how people connect in these forums! I have always wanted to go to Newfoundland. I grew up in Calgary, moved to The 'Peg for High school and 1st year University, moved back to Calgary and now live in the tiny village of Beiseker Alberta with my Dad. The month before moving from Alberta to Manitoba, I spent a month in Yellowknife (long story) and loved it there...We went all over NWT. I loved Winnipeg Soooo much, too! The move from Calgary (my first( felt traumatic, but I gained sooooo much from what enveloped from it all. Peace! @@Pkeats817
As a Manitoban, I've been everywhere shown in the video and many places not. It would have been nice to see the garter snakes as we have the world's largest limestone pits, low population density and a whole lot of lakes. Great fishing and beaches too!
Ontario was hard because of how diverse it is. We have all climates from California style to Alaksa all in one province. You can drive from East to West for over 24 hours and stilll be in Ontario, it is that big.
Bonjour! Nice reaction! You made me smile when you said you could have a « nice glass of wine » on the boat at the end of the Quebec City video. That boat is the Lévis-Québec ferry, it's making shorter than 15 minutes sails between the north (Québec city) and south (Lévis) shores, hehe. Bonne journée de Québec!
Mert, Prince Edward Island is not as remote as this tourism video implies. You will get a much better view of the province, its cities, restaurants etc if you take a look at the Must Do Canada videos. They do a fantastic job of capturing their 150 days of travel across Canada. The couple are Canadian. He was born here and she is a new Canadian.
My family and I spent an amazing summer in PEI. We stayed at a decommissioned lighthouse and had a beach all to ourselves. We fell asleep listening to the ocean waves.
@@TheCanadiangirl4 I would love to experience a meal at Chef Michael Smith's Inn/Restaurant. They grow everything on their property and they cook and present with flames/fire. They don't have gas or electric stoves. Then, everyone eats at a communal table.
I live in the largest populated city in new brunswick. Within an hour of my house are some really amazing sights and things to do. Fun fact, since you said you don't know much about NB, its 85% forest, and the girls on the beach is hopewell rocks which are the highest tides in the world. You can walk on the sea floor. But when you hear the warning bells, get the *expletive* off the beach. Otherwise you're pretty well signing your own death warrant.
@francoisfortin5826 it's not incorrect, though. Kind of like Peggy's cove, which i also saw, those signs that say "stay off the rocks" .... listen to those.
They have won many awards, actually! And I agree wholeheartedly that it's worth your while to watch a bunch of them! The one about colours is one of my favourites! 😊
Back in geological time Newfoundland and Scotland were one rock. Very old rock ripped apart at the Atlantic Rift . This is why there are similar huge fjords and seashore cliffs in northern Scotland. BC/Alberta mountains of several ranges, the Rockies being one, are much younger and are plate collision push-up built so are very craggy and rugged.
I have been to every province, and territory in Canada, and all have beautiful places. But, some obvious ones were missed: BC is a LOT more than coastline! The interior has dessert, where cowboy movies are filmed. And, lots of wine growing - the most in Canada. New Brunswick is not much visited by anyone, but is has interesting things to see, and the people are welcoming. Nova Scotia is geared far more geared for tourists, but they are exceedingly welcoming there. The Territories were missed completely, despite being 40% of Canada! I still have not decided which is more beautiful: Vancouver, or Quebec City. But, you can absolutely get away from things in Canada; that is why I live in Yukon! No TV, radio, nor mobile phones where I am - a nice way to live! (I had to slow down to not hit moose on my way home from church today.)
Every province and territory has places to just get away from everything, so as much as we travel within Canada, if it’s just getting away from everything, we usually don’t have to go too far. I could drive an hour away and be in the mountains with no reception and be far from any people. Usually then we camp, so it’s just the cost of gas + campground fee (if we’re not just setting up a tent somewhere random). I could spend the same amount or less on a weekend trip in the interior of BC, everything included, than I would on one night’s hotel in Vancouver.
Prince Edward Islander here. I've lived in PEI all my life, to me it's the everyday. My wife is from South Korea and immigrated to Canada as a teenager. Through her I can get a sense of PEI's beauty. Coming from the bigger cities she really appreciates all the easily accessible nature PEI has to offer. She has no desire to live in the bigger cities anymore. Notes from an Islander: - Rent a car if visiting. Public transit is expanding but is still limited compared to other places. - On average, a person will be no more than 20 minutes from a coastline. - Three hour drive tip to tip. - There's a good number of golf courses (though I don't golf). - Come to PEI in the summer since the tourism season shuts down when it gets. Lots of nice views though when the leaves change in the fall. - There has been a roundabout explosion on PEI's highways over the past decade. As an Islander I find it comical but they do function well if they build them big enough. - I'm amazed at the amount of apartment buildings that have gone up in the past ten years. They are gradually getting taller. Many are five story now. Short for the big cities, tall for little ole PEI. There is the push to change zoning laws to allow for ten story buildings. - Before the Confederation Bridge opened in 1997 we used to have what we called "boat traffic". Essentially, when the ferries landed there would be a surge of cars traveling to all the tourist destinations. Today there's just a lot more traffic on the highways in general. Nothing like Toronto though.
@@pwile2002 The four roundabouts within a 2km stretch on the St. Peter's road is what comes to my mind. There could have been five roundabouts but for some reason they built a displaced-left intersection to turn onto St. Peter's road instead. I guess they wanted to shake things up. A roundabout probably would have been a lot simpler.
Victoria is nice, and very iconic, with the tourist trade "depots" , plus such great restaurants, and hotel, hotel, hotels. Lots of tours, and Victoria's suburbs are larger than Victoria, itself.
Now, of course, I live on Vancouver Island, in the forest, by a little lake, with a Costco store about a mile away. It's pretty surreal to live here. Get a high quality camera, and your album or photo files will be full, in very little time. Best seafood, logging,
I was born in Manitoba, but moved to Vancouver as a young child. I lived in Alberta for about a year and am in the process of moving back to Manitoba to be near family. I drove the Trans-Canada Highway from BC to MB. I know I am biased, but BC is often referred to by people of BC as God’s country. It is beautiful with its mountains, rivers and lakes. It gives you something to look at all the time. As you drive into Alberta the landscape starts getting flatter as the prairies begin, but it still offers some diversity in the scenery. Saskatchewan is flat and I found it to be very challenging to stay awake behind the wheel as the scenery is very monotonous. Then Manitoba begins to take on some more interest even though it is still a prairie province. The landscape offers some hills and many forests. It was much easier to drive in this province again.
I am born and raised in PEI and I thought that the video for PEI was beautiful but I know that we’ve had other tourism videos where there’s actually some talking and there’s footage of our actual cities. From the aerial footage, it looks like we are a very remote and small place. Yes, land wise we are quite small, but we actually have a pretty good population. Just make sure to watch other tourism videos of PEI or other home videos as there was a lot more to the island than what was in that video. ☺️
Being born and raised in Newfoundland, there were always tales. My uncles always had stories to tell. Maritime stories about boats and ships and, like the video said, even tales that weren't true. There was always a story to be told that grabbed your attention and imagination.
I'm from Québec as I was in my early 30s I did a road-trip across the maritime provinces and within a day I knew that when i'm retiring i'll be moving to Edward Prince Island. 10 years has passed since and I haven't changed my mind, the only thing that could stop me would be the price of buying a home and small piece of land in 10-15 years from now.
If you would like to see a multitude of tourism videos then type in Ontario, Yours to Discover. I have lived in multiple provinces and each has their own particular charm.
As a Newfoundlander, now living in Nova Scotia, seeing the Newfoundland tourism video brought tears to my eyes. I have been living in Nova Scotia for 19 years now, but no matter how long I have been gone, I still get homesick for my home province. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Thank you for the reminder of where my heart truly is.
Thank you for reminding me of what a beautiful country I was born in. I've seen all but 2 provinces and the territories. The northern half of the prairie provinces are heavily treed and still natural. Personally, as a senior I like the smaller cities of eastern Canada. ❤
I am curious...I am assuming you are from Ontario. I am originally from Calgary, currently live in a tiny village in Alberta but have lived in Winnipeg and have been to a few provinces. Then again, in the west, We tend to think people from Ontario think they are the centre of all.
Terry Fox Day, long weekend. Aug. 7. RIP brother. I've seen Banff 2 times. I'm Canadian, eh? And, Banff is beautiful. It really is. Driving from the prairies into Alberta, ( The foothills.) It's unbelievable landscape. And when you drive in the Rockies it is Wild. On my bucket list is to go to Newfoundland. The Maritime experience. P.E.I is where Anne of Green Gables comes from. Award winning acting by Megan Follows. As Anne of Green Gables. She was the best Anne of Green Gables actress I have ever seen. Manitoba was called Gateway to the West when they were carving out the land, and there was war. It was brutal when sailors from Europe were trying to control everything. This was Newfoundland. Uncharted territory. There is a lot of history how the provinces became the provinces. I don't even know who found |Canada. Jack Cartier? There were many many. It was like digging for gold. The indigenous taught them how to survive in the wilderness. they would have never survived harsh Canadian winters. outside in -10 weather.
For your information, the Québec video is not presenting the Province of Québec, but the Québec city (Capital of Québec) and its region. I'll try to find you real Québec (province) videos. So stay tuned...
I've lived on both coasts of Canada, several cities in between, and visited almost all of our Proviences. There is just SO much to love in Canada. The only downside is the cost of travel within the country is very expensive due to the low population. It is cheaper for us in Vancouver to fly to London than Toronto, even though you often have to stop there.
I have seen a few of your videos over the last week or two and even though I have travelled in every province in Canada and I am from Newfoundland, it is really interesting to see the videos you are posting about each province, and to get your opinion on those videos. For the most part I have seen and experienced a lot of what you are describing, but there are places that I will probably go back and visit, some because you have pointed them out and others because I am retired and now have a motorhome which gives me much more choices and ease of travel. For 14 years my husband and I lived and worked in northern Alberta, but kept our home here in Newfoundland, we travelled home every Christmas and every summer for a one or two week holiday from Alberta. Canada is a large country and very picturesque.
That gave no justice to Manitoba. Theres so much here. 2nd clearest fresh water lake in the world. That just one thing they missed. I got lots. I am a proud Manitobian!🤠✌️ Friendly Manitoba, till you piss us off!🤗🤬
Great to see you reacting to these tourism videos. They really show how beautiful and unique each of the provinces are! There are some excellent videos for the territories as well you should check out! Also you got that quote wrong, the quote is; 'Texas is the Alberta of the United States!🤣 As a Canadian, I might be a tad bias.
What about the territories? Yukon, Nunavut and the northwest territories? From personal travels, I would say Quebec, Alberta and PEI stand out to me for great memories of people and places.
Very interesting collection of tourism videos. The common theme of them seems to be Canada is focused on water and canoes and kayaks. I am from the southwestern corner of BC. I have been to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and the Northwest Territory. The BC video missed the Okanagan Orchards, Vineyards and lakes. Missed the central plateau area of central BC (you will find cowboys there as well) and the fjords of the Northern BC coast. Northern Saskatchewan is very rugged with very few roads. Much of the tourism up there is via a floatplane. I think the video for Ontario missed on one of its main geographical area know as the Canadian Shield, created by glacial erosion from the last ice age it has low rolling hills and (of course) many lakes. I honeymooned in the Maritimes, visiting Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick. My favourite parts of NS was Cape Breton Island, Peggy's Cove and Baddeck where Alexander Graham Bell lived for 30 years. In PEI we visited the Anne of Green Gables cottage and enjoyed a New Glasgow Lobster Supper (family style dining). In New Brunswick we went to the Bay of Fundy that boasts the Highest Tides in the World! As to the Northwest Territories (NWT), I was there for a Scouting Jamboree. While there I saw the Wood Buffalo and the Northern Lights. One thing to know about travelling in places like NWT, Northern Sask. and Manitoba in late spring through early fall is BUGS. With the huge numbers of lakes comes an epic number of Mosquitos, horseflies and gnats. In NWT we encounter a bug they called a Cleg-fly. They are very a large horsefly variant with a very nasty bite. We were told that a Cleg-fly will take a chunk of you flesh and that the best defense is a small baseball bat. The joke about Manitoba is their provincial bird is the Mosquito. 🛶🌊🌊🪰🪰🪰🪰🎸😎
Love these -- as a British Columbian - I have to say some of the earlier tourism videos were way better - less of the trying to hard to be meaningful, lots more fun and a better job of showing the wide range of natural landscapes etc. Really enjoyed seeing them though - we live in a beautiful country.
Go to Prince Edward Island if you have young kids. It's basically a sandstone reef in the Gulf of St Lawrence. Best known for potato fields and fishing - so fish & chips abound, and miles of sandy beaches of different colours. The pace of life is laid-back. Saskatchewan has two places with living sand dunes most people aren't aware of. Residents say it's so flat, you can watch your dog run away for three days before it disappears over the horizon. You haven't seen rainbows 'til you've been in the prairies. Double rainbows from end to end, dominate the sky. I lived for a couple of years in St. Andrews New Brunswick, a village with loads of history and traditional architecture, going back to Champlains' first winter in the New World. It's a blend of English & french Cultures. Montreal Quebec is party central with numerous festivals, music & dancing in the streets and lots of public art. The Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia in the Autumn are eye wateringly gorgeous. British Columbia is the most diverse in geography, wildlife and climate. The Pacific Shore is a temperate rainforest rich with predators both terrestrial, aerial & aquatic. The geography is like that of Norway - mountains rise up from the sea and are separated by long winding fjords. But drive inland past the coastal Mountains and you're in the rain shadow where it's semi-arid with different wildlife and vegetation.
The north half of Ab, Sask, Man is the south edge of the continent wide northern forest. At the moment 1000+ fires causing havoc. Once put out the forest will have several years of a flush of growth, good for the animals.
As New Brunswicker I feel that it could show more of the diversity on French and English because New Brunswick is the only bilingual province. Maybe, there a videos on the history of Acadian people. Or in the south there is a Campobello island which is home to fdr cottage where he spent his summer growing up becuse the bay of funday has the natural air condition and the world highest tides.
Saskatchewan does have flat plains of different grains in the south. That’s my memory and it has its own beauty, with the grain elevators that still exist.
I'm from Alberta. Been all over Canada. Being biased, Alberta is definitely my favourite. Outside of that Saskatchewan and British Columbia are stunning. One of the best ways to see the beauty of these places at least in my opinion is to go on horse back and go camping for a few days to a week. We like to go once a year with some friends. We usually don't pack a tent. Least not the traditional tents. Just take a small throw like blanket rolled up and a tarp. The tarp will keep the rain off of you at night. The blanket to keep warm during somewhat less warm nights. Don't forget the pack mule and some fishing gear. We always make it a hunting/fishing/camping trip. The mule is used to haul the catch back home. The last friend to join the group is where we all stop off to clean the meat, process it and of course distribute it amongst the group. But by going out this way you actually get up close and personal with nature. You don't even have to hunt if that is not your thing. Just make it a camping trip. Figure out the general area you want to be while you ride, explore and just enjoy nature. Of course always make sure you have a map and compass on hand just in case. Hopefully you don't need them but it's better to be safe than sorry. A satellite phone in case of an emergency. Nothing is better than getting down to ones roots and just absorbing the sights, sounds and smells around you.
Even in tourism shows, they'll make a pass for the prairies and it's been a long running joke that no one cares about Alberta, Sask., and Manitoba. Weather networks will also lump all the prairie provinces into one forecast, as if it's going to be the same weather in Regina and Winnipeg. The prairie Canadians are, for the most part, really tired of it. There's so much to offer here. I was pleasantly surprised Manitoba is featured first and all the videos were presented. Quebec one is my favourite. I've seen walking tourism videos of Quebec City. It looks so cozy and neat in the winter, and such a fun place.
Canada be like we have festivals and nature and snacks :) and wildlife you definitely should not approach!! You should check out the travel videos for the territories - they are underappreciated even by Canadians. All prairie provinces have cowboys and rodeos (AB/SK/MB) the Alberta video even had footage of Calgary Stampede. Being from SK living in AB I love that SK/MB were like we have skies and water...and flat land to see the sky... while the other provinces have ocean, mountains, Hudson Bay/the great lakes. Travel within Canada can be expensive because it is so big (or takes a long time to drive) but really no matter where you are it isn't far from somewhere you can get away from everything and everyone.
You should definitely look at Waterton in Alberta. I love it so much more then Banff. Banff is too populated Waterton is not. It is also called a Internationally Peace Park because it borders the US. You can take a boat ride to the US too.
Hi mort, im a little late to this party, but I am a born and raised New Brunswicker. So I may have some biases because NB feels like home to me We have wonderful salt water beaches (especially "up north" on the baie de chaleur) lots of lakes and (for the most part) very nice people. Most people dont usually go to NB for a vacation. We're sometimes called "the drive through" province because most people are going to NS or PEI. For that reason NB is over looked as a tourist destination. I noticed in the tourism video that there wasnt a whole lot of oceanfront footage, because NS and PEI seem to have a monopoly on that 😂 We have lots of forests and lakes which most people who dont live on the coast will have cottages on (if you can afford a cottage... or a house for that matter) Fredericton is the capital city (and my home town) and i saw a ton of footage from freddy in the video. The people biking across the bridge is the walking bridge. It used to be a train bridge, but either the city or the province lay boards over the tracks. Where Fredericton is more of a white collar city, Saint John is the blue collar city. SJ is "on the water", and lots of cruise ships come into port there. My sister's father in law actually does guided tours of the SJ area. Our main export is lumber, given our forests, but one company pretty much rules that. The Irvings. They made their fortune in oil, and lumber. They also own all the news papers and have a pretty big sway when it comes to government and elected officials. Our premier was an Irving oil executive. All in all, NB has its issues, but if you are looking to tube down a river, or have a swim in a lake, NB is the place.
All the prairie's are beautiful. Sky as far as you can see. Born in Alberta. Climbing hills. Home to Cold Lake. I served there. International fighter base. Loudest place on the planet. Jets all day long.
I was born in PEI, but grew up in Ontario. The beauty of Canada is that each province has it's own remoteness one can disappear into, to get away from the fast pace of city life. They each have it all, but just a little different from each other.
Well said.
said well too
I have lived in BC (Vancouver), The Yukon (Whitehorse), Alberta (Edmonton), Saskatchewan (Moose Jaw), Manitoba (Winnipeg, Dauphin, Miami, Hamiota) and Ontario (too many town/cities/villages to list.)
I have visited every province east of Ontario. It's nice to have at least 3 weeks of vacation to make those trips so satisfying and worthwhile.
As a teenager (my dad was stationed in Germany), we visited at least 9 other countries spending at least a week and kept going back to the Netherlands as often as we could.
I don't think there is another country as beautiful as Canada. Now if those airfares would come down so I can see Nunavut and Labrador I can die fufilled.
You should watch all of Newfoundland's tourism ads. They have won first place in international tourism competition. They are all awesome.
I totally agree. N & L tourism ads are the ones you love to watch!
NFLD absolutely had the best tourism ads overall, and I'm from BC😂
If you live in Canada, you don't need to get away, to get away! ❤️🇨🇦
You never have to go too far to immerse in nature. I am Canadian . I am a senior and would love to take a motor home and 18 foot boat and a smaller boat and travel throughout Canada starting with simply driving the Trans Canada highway from West to East Coast. Taking a couple months to dally along the way.
Manitoba has the most awesome fishing in the north. Blue lakes too.
I've always loved our Newfoundland tourism ads . They really do an excellent job with them
The ad company they hire has some really talented people. I love the Newfoundland tourism ads. An appreciative Bluenoser.
Thank you for this video. Sometimes I forget just how beautiful our country truly is.
I just discovered your videos and am binge watching them. Absolutely love the watching the expressions on your face. Similar to the joy you get when you introduce your child to something new. I'm 80 and 5th generation Canadian. So happy that you love Canada. Our first Prime Minister was from Scotland. A lot of Scottish influence in the birth of Canada. Btw, curling is big in Canada. I know you will visit some day. You are so very welcome
Quite honestly, it doesn't really matter which province you pick there are interesting cities (granted some bigger than others) and quiet, peaceful, beautifully scenic waterways, full of wildlife a short drive away in every one of them. They are all very special in their own way and I think people who visit would have a hard time saying they didn't enjoy themselves. I'm very blessed to have been born in such a beautiful place. Thank you for the lovely videos💗
It is difficult to get a good picture of the various provinces in these tiny clips. Here in British Columbia there is enormous geographic diversity. You can go from Arctic tundra, through vast plains, on through mountain passes, amazing vineyards, including a desert, drive to a rainforest in the same day and make plans to go surfing in Tofino. What other country has all that in just one section of it?!
I know BC is an amazing province...I grew up camping in Penticon every summer and loved every minute of it. I grew up mostly in Alberta (where we have prairies, mountains, deserts, hoodoos, marshes, an insane amount of natural lakes, tundra, badlands, etc) but had the opportunity to live in Winnipeg for all of High School and first year of University. I didn't think much of moving there. I thought it would be boring and without trees. Manitoba has a way more diverse range of trees and such compared to Alberta (at least where I grew up due to the high altitude) and an incredible culture. I LOVED it there, even if people seem to bypass going there. It opened my eyes and grew my belief that, as Canucks, we do not explore our own country enough beyond our small radius. I, too, am guilty. PEACE and sorry for the long tirade.
Hello from New Brunswick! Unfortunately, New Brunswick is often seen as a “drive-through province” - that is, a place to just drive through on your way to somewhere else. But we do have some cool things to offer. We’re home to the French Fry Capital of the World, which is the town of Florenceville-Bristol. We have the longest covered bridge in the world. In the tourism video you watched, you saw some footage of the Hopewell Rocks, which are very cool rock formations in the Bay of Fundy caused by erosion (unfortunately we’ve lost a couple of them to storms in recent years). There are historical villages you can visit to learn about our province’s history - one near Fredericton is called Kings Landing and focuses more on English-speaking settlers, while there’s also an Acadian historic village in Caraquet. New Brunswick’s capital is Fredericton, and its two other largest cities are Moncton and Saint John. We’re also Canada’s only bilingual province - French and English are both our official languages (though most of the population is English-speaking). Personally, one of my favourite places in New Brunswick is Saint Andrews, a charming seaside town where you can go whale watching, explore cool shops, and visit a haunted hotel. It may not be as exciting as some other provinces, but New Brunswick is home, and it’s so beautiful.
Honestly most people think that the majority of the population speaks english but most of the population north and east of Fredericton and Saint John speak French (even Moncton has a large French speaking population). I’m Acadian and often visit the coastal regions towards Shediac all the way up to Bathurst and even Edmundston and pretty much everyone speaks French. I’ve brought my girlfriend (an English speaker) to visit the rest of the province over the last couple years and she’s baffled by how many people speak French. I’d say about a third of the population is French but most English speakers don’t get to experience that since our French and English communities seem so separated from one another. Also most French people speak English because it’s such a necessity in todays day and age and most English people can’t speak French.
New Brunswick is a beautiful province.
We, as Canadians, tend to take our natural surroundings for granted sometimes. Watching others react to what we see every day makes me go "Wow, I live here?" The new perspectives are certainly eye opening and appreciated. All the best from Super Natural British Columbia.
I commute by ferry. It's often only when you hear the gasps from the tourists in the summer, that you actually remember to appreciate it. On the bigger ferries to the mainland, in the summer they have wildlife experts on board to point out and teach about the animals we see all the time
@@adrianmcgrath1984 only in summer we get them...not sure where your pride comes from!
betting you just look up a guide anyway as a city boy that thinks hes a manitoban....
@@froiv-ell not sure what you are on about ?
Each province has it's own special beauty. I live in Ontario and I love it but to me the most beautiful province would be Newfoundland and Labrador. It has so much rugged, natural beauty and lovely small towns and villages, but also the beauty of the peoples kindness and friendliness. I agree with the other commenters that tell you to watch the Newfoundland tourist commercials.
Manitoba has it all! Lots of sunshine days, vastly different landscapes from wheat fields to boreal forest, eastern manitoba is absolutely unique in it’s natural history and stunningly beautiful. Wild.
PEI is known for their red sand, potato farming, lobsters, the Confederation bridge, and Anne of Green Gables, not to mention that it is the birthplace of Confederation. I have only been there once, but it is the most peaceful, lovely, charming Province in Canada. I loved it there and I would go back in a heartbeat.
I could go on, but it blows me away, too. That's where the surreal comes into play. It's a sense of pride, and brings a tear to your eye, to be blessed to be alive.
As a Canadian, living on Vancouver Island all my life, and briefly in the interior of British Columbia in various locations, any time the desire to get away from it all strikes all you have to do is drive in virtually any direction for a half hour or less that is not towards a string of towns/cities. You'll be in the bush, guaranteed, probably on some river or lake nowhere near anyone else. Most people I know go camping on weekends from May to October or so. All my life that's just what you do. In the interior almost every town is on the the edge of the wilderness. As Rick Mercer put it with his mock anthem in Talking to Americans: "Oh Canada, a great big empty land..."
I'm born and raised in Alberta, but Manitoba has a place in my heart. My father was born and raised at Winnipeg Beach in Manitoba He told us of an old wooden roller coaster that was there when he was a kid. He was also a CFL fan. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers was his team. Crow! He even had the Bomber Room which was the rumpus room he had painted blue and gold. He had a man cave before anyone thought it was cool. lol
These are fantastic videos!!! I'm from Quebec which I find beautiful, but man, these make me want to go to every province! Funny thing is that Manitoba would have been low on the provinces I'd want to visit, but having watched a few videos lately and finding out you can see the polar bears up close in Churchill Manitoba, and the Northern Lights, it's now one of my top provinces to visit. So happy to live in this beautiful country! Plan to see it as much as I can. And yes, I prefer the more natural places rather than big cities. 🙂
As an Albertan who lived in Manitoba and love both, I have always wanted to visit Quebec but feel intimidated as I cannot speak French at all, really. A recent video caressed Montreal as the best Canadian city and Calgary (my hometown) as second best. Interesting, eh?
You mentioned - actually showed a video by - JJ McCullough - I was pleased to hear that pretty much every one has the Sam opinion about him as I do. If you want a much more realistic - and less offensive - tour guide to Canada, I’d recommend 'DownieLive'. He actually goes places and has genuine interest and enthusiasm. - I might ask for some thumbs up on this post - or down - not for me but for Michael Downie, and the way he explores and explains Canada
ua-cam.com/video/nIYcZyk5Ttk/v-deo.html
I'll definitely look for DownieLive, and will prob subsribe to his channel. Whoever he is he should probably get more subscribers than JJ, if he hasn't surpassed him already. Time to switch up that algorithm. I'll do my part. Thanks. Cheers 🇨🇦
@@djdissi he started out doing Canadian stuff - in Vancouver during lockdown I think? Then did some rail trips, then he was offered a series and seems to be being invited all over the place. He’s a nice wholesome guy, he’s enthusiastic and curious
You can’t go wrong visiting any province, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are my favorites , I have been to the east and west coast.I was born in Alberta and living in Ontario. When you commented on cowboys in Alberta it brought to mind a song about a father speaking to his son “ You’re just a Newfie in a Calgary hat” I don’t appreciate Canada as much as I should but I am always reminded of lucky we are when outsiders point it out.🇨🇦
I have crossed Canada several times and I have lived in most of the provinces. Each has their own beauty, but for some reason I keep coming back to Quebec. Quebec is called "La Belle Province" aka "The beautiful Province" . I love the French culture, the food, and every part of Quebec has it's own feel, more European. It's like the whole of Canada in one province. It has mountains, thousands of lakes, forests, waterfalls, flat farm land, rolling hills, it is surrounded by water and ocean.
I love Manitoba. My parents were from there and we spent many summer holidays there. The beaches are beautiful. Alberta is my province and it's fantastic. Horses and cowboy culture is a huge part of our identity. We gave more horses than any other province, cattle ranching is a big part of the economy. A yearly celebration, the Calgary Stampede, which honours our heritage and draws over a million people every year in July.
Im from Vancouver, BC, if I was going to holiday, I would go to Vancouver Island, or one of the smaller islands in the gulf. You can see Victoria, which is a beautiful City and the seat of the government in BC, or backpack to a walk in only area and camp on the beach. Everything you might want to see.
(Remember to breathe) Travel Alberta (name of video) with a song by Wil is the best travel ad I've ever seen. It's definitely worth a watch. The song is : "Roam".
Born and raised in Ontario, but I'm struck by how similar all of these seemed. There's a great deal of geographical and cultural variety across the country, but these tended to flatten them: forests, waterfalls, canoes and kayaks, skating, etc.
Note that your ad for Québec was for Québec City - there's much more to the province.
I didn't have much of a picture of Saskatchewan and especially Manitoba from movies or travel brochure pictures until I came across Giselle Waldner and Adina Walters 's channels. It was particularly helpful,as mostly all I knew was the "A bear named Winnie" film (Which mostly shows the train taking soldiers to England) showing the story of the bear named Winnipeg (which is funny when you think of it's meaning:dirty water ,and attach pooh,to it), and an image of grain elevators next to flat fields with Saskatchewan 'Canada's bread basket' .
I'm from Alberta. I find that Newfoundland and Labrador make the most attractive tourism advertisement videos.
The ineresting place in the Ontario advert appears to be Point Pelee, The southern most point of Canada. At 41.9628° N which is about 0.2° (about 23 kms) north and 42° east of Crescent City, CA, USA at 41.7557°N. The northern most point in Ontario is 56.8559°N on the shores of Hudson's Bay. About 1,700kms apart.
What i remember Manitoba, especially Winnipeg, for is SOCIALS. They have the most and best turnouts for socials to raise money for weddings, anything. Went to lots in the 70s and 80s.
From Toronto Ontario. You can go down any street or shop. And what you see is people from all over the world. Who emigrated to Canada to help build our nation. Yes we have majestic scenery in every province. But, the people make it different.
I have both lived and worked in every province except NFLD. The vastness of our country cannot be expressed without seeing it for yourself. Every turn in the road of the world’s longest highway (over 7000km) will provide another scene of beauty. If you are to travel to Canada, I believe the one variable you must consider are the people. The friendliest are hands down Newfoundland, laid back and friendly. In the Maritimes you will find that the kitchen table is the most important piece of furniture. Very social Canadians, very friendly. Lots of history as the east is much older than the west. Lots of flies in summer. Next we have Quebec. Again very beautiful, very historic and the only province to kick our family out for being English speaking. The only province with language police and a separatist provincial government. Quebec City’s board walk is unbelievable. There’s so much history, at least from a Canadian point of view. But I don’t think I would venture out at night. Old Montreal is lovely with old limestone churches everywhere. There’s so many sites to see, all easily accessible by the underground Metro train. Next we have Ontario. Home of the Great Lakes. The largest fresh water lakes in the world. Much of Ontario to the north is bedrock with little soil covered in miles and miles of forest, dotted with thousands of post card beautiful lakes. Southern Ontario is fertile soil, great fishing, with locks and canals in the Thousand Islands district. The rural people are like most Canadians, friendly, polite and just fun to be around. Then we come across Toronto, probably Canada’s best known city. Do yourself a favour. Don’t stop, just keep driving. Although Toronto believes the sun rises and sets on them, it really doesn’t. Manitoba and Saskatchewan introduce you to hard working farmer and Canada’s prairies. Miles and Mike of farm land. In Clear Lake in Manitoba is a great place to stop. Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan are totally different with forests and lakes and mosquitoes that call pick you up and fly away. Even so the wildlife and country will pull you in. It’s just incredible. Alberta where I have set my roots has just about everything Canada has to offer. Wide open areas, Prairie’s, Forests, Deserts and without a doubt the best mountains in the entire world. Alberta has the highest population of younger Canadians, being that many from the east have relocated here for work which is generally available and can pay very well. I think I like it here for it mildly winters -15 on average, light snowfall, with light dry snow that easily shovelled. The 2 negatives are Alberta’s lack of lakes, and the easts unending desire to pillage our resources. BC is a short run over the mountain. A completely different climate. Warmer temperatures, much more rain (especially on the coast). Driving through BC your are embraced by the beauty of the Canadian Rockies, the wildlife, the friendly people. Vancouver is another large city as such has large city issues. It warm winters tend to attract many homeless during the winter. Yet like Montreal you just need to look beyond this as there so much to see. Don’t forget to take the ferry to Vancouver Island. It’s just in credible. There a garden that will simply knock your socks off.
You asked if you should visit the large cities. I would suggest that if you must that you spend very little time. The vastness and beauty isn’t in the cities. It’s in Banff, Jasper, Waterton, Moncton, Hotel Frontenac Quebec City, Saint Catherine’s Montreal, Niagra Falls (worlds largest tourist trap), The Thousand Islands (Ontario), Mineral hotsprings (Moosejaw), and all of BC. Plan to stay for a while. PLEASE DONT take the scenic train through the mountains (stupid expensive). Rent a car, buy a picnic basket, drive a little and stop a lot.
The interesting thing you pointed out in the Ontario video is Point Pelee, which is the southernmost land point of Canada. As kids we always enjoyed going to Point Pelee National Park so we could walk to The Point. Just south of that tip is Pelee Island which lies in Lake Erie. Thanks for showcasing the provinces in these great videos. Canada is truly a magnificent country. 👏👏🇨🇦
Alberta has mountains, lakes, foothills, desert like badlands(huge dinosaur excavation area- great museum) prairies and so much more. Every province is unique and has it's own beauty. I am Canadian and have lived in 4 different provinces over the years. Loved them all.
Well said
I agree that every province has unique beauty to it but, as an Albertan, I agree that Alberta is pretty unique for having such a wide range of landscapes!
From the heights to the "Hey, don't get too big for your britches dude!". I did 8 sold out shows where the Winnipeg Jets play. 32 thousand folks each, as the ticket guys said.. Drove ten hours and played in Dauphin, Manitoba, in a converted barn hockey arena. capacity 200. Same pay! Had to wait for a "Beefalo" sale/exhibit to end before we could set up! Yes, I said Beefalo.
Cabada us too lovely for Words...each Province is stunning..
Greetings from Prince Edward Island, I live about 3km from that last shot on Brackley Bay. I live in a log home. Your videos are top quality, well done. I was born in Ontario, lived in Quebec, worked in Manitoba and New Brunswick, this is a vast country and you cover it well, all the best !
Having had the privilege of visiting every Province in our beautiful country on numerous occasions, I can honestly say each is so special and worthy of a visit. The activities, historical places, landscapes second to none, freshwater lakes and beaches that go on forever, and above all the incredible, friendly people, from sea, to sea, to sea, provide a visit to Canada one you will never forget. Chimo
It is very kind of you to read my comment and give it a 'like'. Chimo
I recently watched Bob & Doug McKenzie Molson Beer commercials 1997! I think you might enjoy it! Your channel is awesome it brings back lots of memories!🇨🇦👍
New Brunswick really is about the people. It has beautiful natural landscapes of course, like everywhere in Canada, but what sets it apart is its wonderful friendly communities.
I love that Mert is such a fan.
Mother is from Newfoundland, met my father who is from the Gaspe, married, and had me in Newfoundland. As an army brat had the privilege of living in Europe and in many Canadian provinces. Met my husband in Vancouver, BC. When we decided to move to Ontario, we drove. Seeing his awe as we travelled made me open my eyes again to the beauty of Canada. Almost like watching you! Husband is from the Adriatic which is as beautiful but in different ways.
In the Alberta video, the initial shot of the mountains and kites is taken in Waterton Lakes National Park. It’s a shared peace park with Glacier National Park in the USA. Also about the cowboys…. A large part of Alberta is prairie and grass land. Great for crop growing and cattle rearing, hence the long history with the cowboy.
Please consider reviewing a video on the Calgary Stampede. The focus is on a big city essentially shutting down to party for over a week. I’m from BC but it was always worth travelling to in order to soak up some real Canadian spirit.
Yes especially if he wants to see cowboys!
Being Canadian I really enjoyed this video. Friendly reminder, Canada consists of 10 provinces and two territories, being the Yukon and the Northwest Territories which are also very diverse and beautiful
There are three territories. Please have your facts straight before posting.
Thank you! I'm from Manitoba, love it and this video shows some of Manitoba's greatest assets! We've also got Little Limestone Lake, which is the world’s largest example of a marl lake. Folklorama, the world's largest and longest-running multicultural festival started today, with 40 pavilions featuring countries from around the world, including our own Métis, First Nations, and canadien-français pavilions. We also have a Scotland Pavilion.
Yes and they showed Gimli too I recognized the viking festival in the clip! Such a great montage with many glimpses of great places and famous Manitoba venues, not just the fields, or the Forks❣
We've got Camp Hughes as well. It contains the largest and most complete life-sized WW1 trench system replica on the planet. It was designed, created and used for training in the trench warfare tactics definitive of that period, most notably the famed creeping barrage tactic seen at Vimy Ridge and other major theaters of WW1.
I am from Calgary, but I was lucky enough to live in Winnipeg for all of high school and first year University (U of W). I LOVED my time there and got to travel all over the province. I loved the culture and arts the best...and the old buildings! Calgary is notorious for knocking down old buildings and erecting new ones. WE hardly have ANY real history in comparison to anywhere in Manitoba but especially Winnipeg.
I love Manitoba. I’m from Newfoundland , but I live in Yellowknife. Always happy to visit my sister there.
That is so cool! I love how people connect in these forums! I have always wanted to go to Newfoundland. I grew up in Calgary, moved to The 'Peg for High school and 1st year University, moved back to Calgary and now live in the tiny village of Beiseker Alberta with my Dad. The month before moving from Alberta to Manitoba, I spent a month in Yellowknife (long story) and loved it there...We went all over NWT. I loved Winnipeg Soooo much, too! The move from Calgary (my first( felt traumatic, but I gained sooooo much from what enveloped from it all. Peace! @@Pkeats817
As a Manitoban, I've been everywhere shown in the video and many places not. It would have been nice to see the garter snakes as we have the world's largest limestone pits, low population density and a whole lot of lakes. Great fishing and beaches too!
The beaches, especially, surprised me when I lived there!
Ontario was hard because of how diverse it is. We have all climates from California style to Alaksa all in one province. You can drive from East to West for over 24 hours and stilll be in Ontario, it is that big.
Yes I was a little disappointed in the clip. And that Mert recognized Toronto, but not Ottawa in that clip lol.
PEI is definitely a vacation location. Many Atlantic Canadians go there for a relaxing beach vacation.
Bonjour! Nice reaction!
You made me smile when you said you could have a « nice glass of wine » on the boat at the end of the Quebec City video. That boat is the Lévis-Québec ferry, it's making shorter than 15 minutes sails between the north (Québec city) and south (Lévis) shores, hehe. Bonne journée de Québec!
Mert, Prince Edward Island is not as remote as this tourism video implies. You will get a much better view of the province, its cities, restaurants etc if you take a look at the Must Do Canada videos. They do a fantastic job of capturing their 150 days of travel across Canada. The couple are Canadian. He was born here and she is a new Canadian.
I agree. Must Do Canada has the best videos and information. They are top-notch. 👍
My family and I spent an amazing summer in PEI. We stayed at a decommissioned lighthouse and had a beach all to ourselves. We fell asleep listening to the ocean waves.
@@TheCanadiangirl4 I would love to experience a meal at Chef Michael Smith's Inn/Restaurant. They grow everything on their property and they cook and present with flames/fire. They don't have gas or electric stoves. Then, everyone eats at a communal table.
I live in the largest populated city in new brunswick. Within an hour of my house are some really amazing sights and things to do. Fun fact, since you said you don't know much about NB, its 85% forest, and the girls on the beach is hopewell rocks which are the highest tides in the world. You can walk on the sea floor. But when you hear the warning bells, get the *expletive* off the beach. Otherwise you're pretty well signing your own death warrant.
the last phrase is so funny🤣🤣🤣🤣
@francoisfortin5826 it's not incorrect, though. Kind of like Peggy's cove, which i also saw, those signs that say "stay off the rocks" .... listen to those.
Mert….the NFLD tourism ads should receive an award - seen a few of them… very captivating and pro done! Would be a good video!
They have won many awards, actually! And I agree wholeheartedly that it's worth your while to watch a bunch of them! The one about colours is one of my favourites! 😊
Back in geological time Newfoundland and Scotland were one rock. Very old rock ripped apart at the Atlantic Rift . This is why there are similar huge fjords and seashore cliffs in northern Scotland. BC/Alberta mountains of several ranges, the Rockies being one, are much younger and are plate collision push-up built so are very craggy and rugged.
I have been to every province, and territory in Canada, and all have beautiful places. But, some obvious ones were missed: BC is a LOT more than coastline! The interior has dessert, where cowboy movies are filmed. And, lots of wine growing - the most in Canada. New Brunswick is not much visited by anyone, but is has interesting things to see, and the people are welcoming. Nova Scotia is geared far more geared for tourists, but they are exceedingly welcoming there. The Territories were missed completely, despite being 40% of Canada! I still have not decided which is more beautiful: Vancouver, or Quebec City. But, you can absolutely get away from things in Canada; that is why I live in Yukon! No TV, radio, nor mobile phones where I am - a nice way to live! (I had to slow down to not hit moose on my way home from church today.)
Every province and territory has places to just get away from everything, so as much as we travel within Canada, if it’s just getting away from everything, we usually don’t have to go too far. I could drive an hour away and be in the mountains with no reception and be far from any people. Usually then we camp, so it’s just the cost of gas + campground fee (if we’re not just setting up a tent somewhere random). I could spend the same amount or less on a weekend trip in the interior of BC, everything included, than I would on one night’s hotel in Vancouver.
Prince Edward Islander here.
I've lived in PEI all my life, to me it's the everyday. My wife is from South Korea and immigrated to Canada as a teenager. Through her I can get a sense of PEI's beauty. Coming from the bigger cities she really appreciates all the easily accessible nature PEI has to offer. She has no desire to live in the bigger cities anymore.
Notes from an Islander:
- Rent a car if visiting. Public transit is expanding but is still limited compared to other places.
- On average, a person will be no more than 20 minutes from a coastline.
- Three hour drive tip to tip.
- There's a good number of golf courses (though I don't golf).
- Come to PEI in the summer since the tourism season shuts down when it gets. Lots of nice views though when the leaves change in the fall.
- There has been a roundabout explosion on PEI's highways over the past decade. As an Islander I find it comical but they do function well if they build them big enough.
- I'm amazed at the amount of apartment buildings that have gone up in the past ten years. They are gradually getting taller. Many are five story now. Short for the big cities, tall for little ole PEI. There is the push to change zoning laws to allow for ten story buildings.
- Before the Confederation Bridge opened in 1997 we used to have what we called "boat traffic". Essentially, when the ferries landed there would be a surge of cars traveling to all the tourist destinations. Today there's just a lot more traffic on the highways in general. Nothing like Toronto though.
Heading to Rustico later in the month. Interested in your Explosion of roundabouts.😂
@@pwile2002 The four roundabouts within a 2km stretch on the St. Peter's road is what comes to my mind. There could have been five roundabouts but for some reason they built a displaced-left intersection to turn onto St. Peter's road instead. I guess they wanted to shake things up. A roundabout probably would have been a lot simpler.
Victoria is nice, and very iconic, with the tourist trade "depots" , plus such great restaurants, and hotel, hotel, hotels. Lots of tours, and Victoria's suburbs are larger than Victoria, itself.
Now, of course, I live on Vancouver Island, in the forest, by a little lake, with a Costco store about a mile away. It's pretty surreal to live here. Get a high quality camera, and your album or photo files will be full, in very little time. Best seafood, logging,
I was born in Manitoba, but moved to Vancouver as a young child. I lived in Alberta for about a year and am in the process of moving back to Manitoba to be near family. I drove the Trans-Canada Highway from BC to MB. I know I am biased, but BC is often referred to by people of BC as God’s country. It is beautiful with its mountains, rivers and lakes. It gives you something to look at all the time. As you drive into Alberta the landscape starts getting flatter as the prairies begin, but it still offers some diversity in the scenery. Saskatchewan is flat and I found it to be very challenging to stay awake behind the wheel as the scenery is very monotonous. Then Manitoba begins to take on some more interest even though it is still a prairie province. The landscape offers some hills and many forests. It was much easier to drive in this province again.
I am born and raised in PEI and I thought that the video for PEI was beautiful but I know that we’ve had other tourism videos where there’s actually some talking and there’s footage of our actual cities. From the aerial footage, it looks like we are a very remote and small place. Yes, land wise we are quite small, but we actually have a pretty good population. Just make sure to watch other tourism videos of PEI or other home videos as there was a lot more to the island than what was in that video. ☺️
I was thinking the same thing.. it wasn't a very good representation of what PEI has to offer.
Being born and raised in Newfoundland, there were always tales. My uncles always had stories to tell. Maritime stories about boats and ships and, like the video said, even tales that weren't true. There was always a story to be told that grabbed your attention and imagination.
I'm from Québec as I was in my early 30s I did a road-trip across the maritime provinces and within a day I knew that when i'm retiring i'll be moving to Edward Prince Island. 10 years has passed since and I haven't changed my mind, the only thing that could stop me would be the price of buying a home and small piece of land in 10-15 years from now.
If you would like to see a multitude of tourism videos then type in Ontario, Yours to Discover. I have lived in multiple provinces and each has their own particular charm.
I've lived all over Canada, always come back to the Shield in Ontario.
As a Newfoundlander, now living in Nova Scotia, seeing the Newfoundland tourism video brought tears to my eyes. I have been living in Nova Scotia for 19 years now, but no matter how long I have been gone, I still get homesick for my home province. I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Thank you for the reminder of where my heart truly is.
Well at least you are in a beautiful province, just grab a ferry in Sydney to NFLD
My Mom is the same way and she left over 50 years ago.
BC (British Columbia). Called "Supernatural BC.
Manitoba is so flat - you could watch your dog run away for three days.
Thank you for reminding me of what a beautiful country I was born in. I've seen all but 2 provinces and the territories. The northern half of the prairie provinces are heavily treed and still natural. Personally, as a senior I like the smaller cities of eastern Canada. ❤
I am curious...I am assuming you are from Ontario. I am originally from Calgary, currently live in a tiny village in Alberta but have lived in Winnipeg and have been to a few provinces. Then again, in the west, We tend to think people from Ontario think they are the centre of all.
Terry Fox Day, long weekend. Aug. 7. RIP brother.
I've seen Banff 2 times. I'm Canadian, eh? And, Banff is beautiful. It really is. Driving from the prairies into Alberta, ( The foothills.) It's unbelievable landscape. And when you drive in the Rockies it is Wild.
On my bucket list is to go to Newfoundland. The Maritime experience.
P.E.I is where Anne of Green Gables comes from. Award winning acting by Megan Follows. As Anne of Green Gables. She was the best Anne of Green Gables actress I have ever seen.
Manitoba was called Gateway to the West when they were carving out the land, and there was war. It was brutal when sailors from Europe were trying to control everything. This was Newfoundland. Uncharted territory. There is a lot of history how the provinces became the provinces. I don't even know who found |Canada. Jack Cartier? There were many many. It was like digging for gold. The indigenous taught them how to survive in the wilderness. they would have never survived harsh Canadian winters. outside in -10 weather.
For your information, the Québec video is not presenting the Province of Québec, but the Québec city (Capital of Québec) and its region. I'll try to find you real Québec (province) videos. So stay tuned...
I'm surprised that Manitoba didn't show much of its lakes. It's well known as the province of a thousand lakes.
I'm from Edmonton. Born there. Combines, more than 200 miles almost, All farmland. The richest soil. Largest, most northerly lake, dinosaurs, cowboys.
Banff and canmore and waterton and Kananaskis, are all beautiful
Our license places say "Beautiful British Columbia".
I've lived on both coasts of Canada, several cities in between, and visited almost all of our Proviences. There is just SO much to love in Canada. The only downside is the cost of travel within the country is very expensive due to the low population. It is cheaper for us in Vancouver to fly to London than Toronto, even though you often have to stop there.
I have seen a few of your videos over the last week or two and even though I have travelled in every province in Canada and I am from Newfoundland, it is really interesting to see the videos you are posting about each province, and to get your opinion on those videos. For the most part I have seen and experienced a lot of what you are describing, but there are places that I will probably go back and visit, some because you have pointed them out and others because I am retired and now have a motorhome which gives me much more choices and ease of travel. For 14 years my husband and I lived and worked in northern Alberta, but kept our home here in Newfoundland, we travelled home every Christmas and every summer for a one or two week holiday from Alberta. Canada is a large country and very picturesque.
That gave no justice to Manitoba. Theres so much here. 2nd clearest fresh water lake in the world. That just one thing they missed. I got lots.
I am a proud Manitobian!🤠✌️
Friendly Manitoba, till you piss us off!🤗🤬
Great to see you reacting to these tourism videos. They really show how beautiful and unique each of the provinces are! There are some excellent videos for the territories as well you should check out! Also you got that quote wrong, the quote is; 'Texas is the Alberta of the United States!🤣 As a Canadian, I might be a tad bias.
😂 I like that quote better! I agree after this Mert needs to look at the territories next❣
What about the territories? Yukon, Nunavut and the northwest territories? From personal travels, I would say Quebec, Alberta and PEI stand out to me for great memories of people and places.
Very interesting collection of tourism videos. The common theme of them seems to be Canada is focused on water and canoes and kayaks. I am from the southwestern corner of BC. I have been to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and the Northwest Territory. The BC video missed the Okanagan Orchards, Vineyards and lakes. Missed the central plateau area of central BC (you will find cowboys there as well) and the fjords of the Northern BC coast. Northern Saskatchewan is very rugged with very few roads. Much of the tourism up there is via a floatplane. I think the video for Ontario missed on one of its main geographical area know as the Canadian Shield, created by glacial erosion from the last ice age it has low rolling hills and (of course) many lakes. I honeymooned in the Maritimes, visiting Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick. My favourite parts of NS was Cape Breton Island, Peggy's Cove and Baddeck where Alexander Graham Bell lived for 30 years. In PEI we visited the Anne of Green Gables cottage and enjoyed a New Glasgow Lobster Supper (family style dining). In New Brunswick we went to the Bay of Fundy that boasts the Highest Tides in the World! As to the Northwest Territories (NWT), I was there for a Scouting Jamboree. While there I saw the Wood Buffalo and the Northern Lights. One thing to know about travelling in places like NWT, Northern Sask. and Manitoba in late spring through early fall is BUGS. With the huge numbers of lakes comes an epic number of Mosquitos, horseflies and gnats. In NWT we encounter a bug they called a Cleg-fly. They are very a large horsefly variant with a very nasty bite. We were told that a Cleg-fly will take a chunk of you flesh and that the best defense is a small baseball bat. The joke about Manitoba is their provincial bird is the Mosquito.
🛶🌊🌊🪰🪰🪰🪰🎸😎
I live where a lot of those shots were taken powell river salish sea bc
Love these -- as a British Columbian - I have to say some of the earlier tourism videos were way better - less of the trying to hard to be meaningful, lots more fun and a better job of showing the wide range of natural landscapes etc. Really enjoyed seeing them though - we live in a beautiful country.
I live in Western Nova Scotia. These clips are great, but they only show a teeny fraction of what each province has to offer.
Go to Prince Edward Island if you have young kids. It's basically a sandstone reef in the Gulf of St Lawrence. Best known for potato fields and fishing - so fish & chips abound, and miles of sandy beaches of different colours. The pace of life is laid-back.
Saskatchewan has two places with living sand dunes most people aren't aware of. Residents say it's so flat, you can watch your dog run away for three days before it disappears over the horizon. You haven't seen rainbows 'til you've been in the prairies. Double rainbows from end to end, dominate the sky.
I lived for a couple of years in St. Andrews New Brunswick, a village with loads of history and traditional architecture, going back to Champlains' first winter in the New World. It's a blend of English & french Cultures.
Montreal Quebec is party central with numerous festivals, music & dancing in the streets and lots of public art.
The Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia in the Autumn are eye wateringly gorgeous.
British Columbia is the most diverse in geography, wildlife and climate. The Pacific Shore is a temperate rainforest rich with predators both terrestrial, aerial & aquatic. The geography is like that of Norway - mountains rise up from the sea and are separated by long winding fjords. But drive inland past the coastal Mountains and you're in the rain shadow where it's semi-arid with different wildlife and vegetation.
The north half of Ab, Sask, Man is the south edge of the continent wide northern forest. At the moment 1000+ fires causing havoc. Once put out the forest will have several years of a flush of growth, good for the animals.
Hey you need to check out the Calgary Stampede.
That was not Banf. That was Waterton Lakes park.
As New Brunswicker I feel that it could show more of the diversity on French and English because New Brunswick is the only bilingual province.
Maybe, there a videos on the history of Acadian people. Or in the south there is a Campobello island which is home to fdr cottage where he spent his summer growing up becuse the bay of funday has the natural air condition and the world highest tides.
In Canada you never more than a couple of hours away from some beautiful scenery or a place to get away from a big city.
P.E.I. is a beautiful and friendly province. It's just unique from the rest of Canada.🥰
Saskatchewan does have flat plains of different grains in the south. That’s my memory and it has its own beauty, with the grain elevators that still exist.
I'm from Alberta. Been all over Canada. Being biased, Alberta is definitely my favourite. Outside of that Saskatchewan and British Columbia are stunning. One of the best ways to see the beauty of these places at least in my opinion is to go on horse back and go camping for a few days to a week. We like to go once a year with some friends. We usually don't pack a tent. Least not the traditional tents. Just take a small throw like blanket rolled up and a tarp. The tarp will keep the rain off of you at night. The blanket to keep warm during somewhat less warm nights. Don't forget the pack mule and some fishing gear. We always make it a hunting/fishing/camping trip. The mule is used to haul the catch back home. The last friend to join the group is where we all stop off to clean the meat, process it and of course distribute it amongst the group. But by going out this way you actually get up close and personal with nature. You don't even have to hunt if that is not your thing. Just make it a camping trip. Figure out the general area you want to be while you ride, explore and just enjoy nature. Of course always make sure you have a map and compass on hand just in case. Hopefully you don't need them but it's better to be safe than sorry. A satellite phone in case of an emergency. Nothing is better than getting down to ones roots and just absorbing the sights, sounds and smells around you.
Even in tourism shows, they'll make a pass for the prairies and it's been a long running joke that no one cares about Alberta, Sask., and Manitoba. Weather networks will also lump all the prairie provinces into one forecast, as if it's going to be the same weather in Regina and Winnipeg. The prairie Canadians are, for the most part, really tired of it. There's so much to offer here. I was pleasantly surprised Manitoba is featured first and all the videos were presented. Quebec one is my favourite. I've seen walking tourism videos of Quebec City. It looks so cozy and neat in the winter, and such a fun place.
Canada's Heart Beats is just some new slogan they came up with for Manitoba. Nobody calls it that.
Being from saskatoon, Saskatchewan is very beautiful. It goes from forest to a desolate desert. The only feature we missed is mountains.
Canada be like we have festivals and nature and snacks :) and wildlife you definitely should not approach!! You should check out the travel videos for the territories - they are underappreciated even by Canadians.
All prairie provinces have cowboys and rodeos (AB/SK/MB) the Alberta video even had footage of Calgary Stampede. Being from SK living in AB I love that SK/MB were like we have skies and water...and flat land to see the sky... while the other provinces have ocean, mountains, Hudson Bay/the great lakes.
Travel within Canada can be expensive because it is so big (or takes a long time to drive) but really no matter where you are it isn't far from somewhere you can get away from everything and everyone.
You should definitely look at Waterton in Alberta. I love it so much more then Banff. Banff is too populated Waterton is not. It is also called a Internationally Peace Park because it borders the US. You can take a boat ride to the US too.
Hi mort, im a little late to this party, but I am a born and raised New Brunswicker. So I may have some biases because NB feels like home to me
We have wonderful salt water beaches (especially "up north" on the baie de chaleur) lots of lakes and (for the most part) very nice people.
Most people dont usually go to NB for a vacation. We're sometimes called "the drive through" province because most people are going to NS or PEI. For that reason NB is over looked as a tourist destination.
I noticed in the tourism video that there wasnt a whole lot of oceanfront footage, because NS and PEI seem to have a monopoly on that 😂
We have lots of forests and lakes which most people who dont live on the coast will have cottages on (if you can afford a cottage... or a house for that matter)
Fredericton is the capital city (and my home town) and i saw a ton of footage from freddy in the video. The people biking across the bridge is the walking bridge. It used to be a train bridge, but either the city or the province lay boards over the tracks.
Where Fredericton is more of a white collar city, Saint John is the blue collar city. SJ is "on the water", and lots of cruise ships come into port there. My sister's father in law actually does guided tours of the SJ area.
Our main export is lumber, given our forests, but one company pretty much rules that. The Irvings. They made their fortune in oil, and lumber. They also own all the news papers and have a pretty big sway when it comes to government and elected officials. Our premier was an Irving oil executive.
All in all, NB has its issues, but if you are looking to tube down a river, or have a swim in a lake, NB is the place.
Great job
Mert, please come visit Canada someday! You will have so many wonderful experiences here!
All the prairie's are beautiful. Sky as far as you can see. Born in Alberta. Climbing hills. Home to Cold Lake. I served there. International fighter base. Loudest place on the planet. Jets all day long.
