Canada

Pros: A vast beautiful country where most people speak English and the US dollar goes far.
Cons: Vast distances between areas.

I have been to Canada a few times. Once as a teen just a couple of years out of high school a buddy and I did a weeks tour in my brand new 1970 Plymouth Duster starting in Montreal and going west to Toronto and the Niagara Falls. Years later I had a ...

Pros: it's my country
Cons: eh? what cons?

We are gathered here today to partake in this marriage between Canada and the United States of America called The Great Assimilation Write-Off. And just like a “real” marriage, there is always a dominant person in such a union. Fine, so it's...

Pros: Simple voting technique, longer life expectancy, lower crime rate
Cons: You'll all be forced to watch CBC programmes from now on-and we're all really, really sorry

It's finally happened. All of us polite, passive Canadians have become so tired of having all the really good TV shows preempted for yet one more round of appeals from Nearly President Bush/Gore that we've snapped. We've taken matters, as well as arms,...

Pros: Play in US dollars win in US dollars
Cons: bridge traffic heavy at times coming over peace bridge

Review Topic:  Entertainment

If there is one thing I enjoy the most when I am not entertaining myself reading reviews of others in Epinions... Its playing BINGO.

Throughout all my travels I have...

Pros: Clean, healthy... Complete freedom of speech :)
Cons: It's not nearly as populated as the USA. Which is good and bad.

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Okay, so you need some Canada info, eh?
Please note, these are just some general things, to help the average American brush up on some skills. :)

Pros: More colourful money
Cons: We'll lock up all the cons, don't worry

Pros: Really funny people live here...
Cons: ...but they're so darned polite!

Review Topic:  Overview

"but for some reason, couldn't be bothered to find out"


Tonight is the last of the three Presidential Debates. I have been informed that at least a few of you are...

Pros: We try, that's the most important thing
Cons: We're not perfect, but who really is

When I was first invited to participate in this Write Off I had to give it some thought. Not of course whether I would participate of not, that was a given. A Write Off for and by the International members of this little cyber community, of course I had...

Pros: Great scenery. Great service. Altogether an unforgettable experience.
Cons: Pretty pricey. Fickle weather can disrupt the sightseeing.

There was a time, before the plane and the automobile came to dominate travel, that a journey across the North American continent was a leisurely affair – a time when an on-board meal meant more than just half a can of Coke and a tiny bag of salted ...

Pros: The End of Funny Money!
Cons: We Don't want Quebec

What red-blooded Merican hasn't looked at a map of North Merica and drooled over that big hunk of realestate to our north? Why we ain't seized control over this country yet is beyond me. Heck, we stole most of the land we got now.

Now,...

Pros: None, unless frightened of bridges (or tunnels!)
Cons: Clean, hundreds of sparking lakes, friendly warm people, English-speaking (unless in a French-Canadian province).

I loved the review on Canada by Missbehaving! I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and only moved to West Michigan (200 miles away) when I was 38. Visiting Canada several times yearly with my family was always a great excursion! And then as an...

Pros: It is a big place and almost America
Cons: They talk french there too much

Canada, is a really big country that is above America on the maps. It is as long as America but goes higher. They dont have states there but they call them providences but they are the same thing.

Some parts of Canada dont talk English...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Okay, so it gets a little cold!

For those of you who don't know, I am a transplanted Canadian, now living in the Excited States. As you can tell by the title of this epinion, I really miss my home. So to combat homesickness, I thought I would extoll the virtues of my home and native...

Pros: a big fat Canadian check
Cons: some restrictions apply

This review will do one thing: explain how to get a big check from the Canadian government after your vacation there. I'll leave it to others to sing the praises of Canada. It's a great country, but no matter how great the country, if you can't afford...

Pros: Christmas time is a beautiful time. The countryside is so beautiful.
Cons: It is COLD.

This is not only the first winter that I have spent in Canada, but also the first winter in which I have spent any great length of time in snowy conditions. It is a huge contrast from the more balmy winters I have spent in both Australia (my homeland)...
