Quote:My best friend is a born Canadian. I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks up in Ontario with her, and am already looking forwarding to doing it again in the winter. I spent time in Mississauga, Toronto and Collingwood. Everywhere we went there were friendly faces and good conversation.
You definitely have to visit in the winter, especially if you go back to Collingwood.
Quote:As for the beer, just today three friends and I spent some time out on the ocean enjoying a beautiful New England day. Our beer of choice? Molson Canadian and Molson XXX (and that's saying a lot, seeing that we're thick in Sam Adams country here).
I'm not a big Molson Canadian fan, and I'm not overly fond of XXX (although it packs quite a kick:wacko:). The next time you visit, check out Alexander Keith's (brewed in Nova Scotia), Moosehead (typically Canadian name there), or Red Cap Ale (it comes in a "stubby" bottle). I usually buy the cheaper Lakeport beer (right now I'm downing a Lakeport Honey Lager). I save a few bucks and it's mighty fine.
I had a good Canada Day. When I woke up, I found that my wife and son woke up early and had breakfast waiting for me. The in-laws came over for a bit and we barbecued a few steaks and chicken breasts :)
