where in Canada? (it's kind of big. :) ) -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:07 18
- Parents are in Nova Scotia and my daughter is...on a lake? :) somewhere north of wisconsin -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 09:10 3
  - Perhaps one of the Great Lakes? -- (edited) - Andie Aug 4, 09:12 2
    - The Whiteshell is a huge cottage area near Kenora, Ontario. That would likely fit the bill as "north of Wisconsin". -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 4, 09:33
    - I'll check the map tonight when we drop her off to see if I can see which. I'm sure they are pretty small and I know they are relatively remote -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 09:21
- Well sure, but really it's just Toronto, Montreal, and a whole lot of trees -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 09:07 13
  - Ten minutes from my house, there's a lake with a sandy beach. - Beryllium Aug 4, 09:13 5
    - i can walk to a sandy beach from my Toronto condo in 7 minutes. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:14 3
      - Nice! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 09:30
      - I can walk to a beautiful, toxic river in 5. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 09:15 1
        
        perfect! -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:15
    - (I guess that's off topic, but I hadn't really made use of the lake until last weekend so I was pondering the proximity) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 09:14
  - city boy, western Canada rocks! -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 09:09 3
    - Everything west of the Hudson River sucks. - ty97 Aug 4, 09:10 2
      - you poor deluded fool, you probably think Broadway matters too -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 09:13 1
        
        I will cut you. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 09:19
  - And Vancouver. We have 3 cities. -- nm - Shaun Aug 4, 09:08 2
    - I loved Vancouver. I need to spend more than two days there. -- nm - Meg Aug 4, 09:19
    - That's just part of Seattle though -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 09:08
Roo just got back from Hamilton - said it was the Detroit of Canada. I requested maple syrup and Justin Trudeau, I got neither. - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:03 17
- My name is Alexander Hamilton - ty97 Aug 4, 09:04
- it is. Why on EARTH was she in Hamilton (of all places.) -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:03 15
  - Bravo Con - she said she will not be going back. She loved Toronto. She tried poutine. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:07 2
    - oh good, i'm glad she saw somewhere else. What was the poutine verdict? -- nm* - Andie Aug 4, 09:07 1
      - said it was delicious - she loved all the food they ate, but they ran out of items at the diners - eggs? waffles? - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:09
  - Really good deal on tickets, maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 09:04 10
    - sure, i can see flying to Hamilton then just bussing or something to Toronto or, really, anywhere else. -- nm* - Andie Aug 4, 09:05 9
      - Really good deal on tickets to Hamilton, I mean. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 09:09 1
        
        :) -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:10
      - " lots of aggressive homeless people" - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:08 4
        
        There's a bit of that in Toronto too, though not as much as NYC -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 09:11
        
        well, i guess the IM is a nice gesture. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:09 2
        
        nice but weird -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:10 1
        
        downtown Hamilton is really depressed. - Andie Aug 4, 09:11
      - wait - was there just a big Con there? i think maybe there was. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 09:06 1
        
        yes - they flew in to Toronoto then train/bus over to Hamilton - she said it was cheap and easy. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 09:07
  - Ti-cats obvie. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 4, 09:04
Also, your wife. - Spawn Aug 4, 09:01
