That's a very nice find Ian.
I went to Canada once. Got engaged to the love of my life there.
Lovely beautiful place with warm friendly people is how I remember it.

Best chance I'll ever have to use this smiley:

:canada

Glad I watched that, some great scenery (looks seriously cold though), and it might help me impress a Canadian female acquaintance of mine, ha ha.

I can probably cure you of that..........

Last week it started snowing on Saturday evening and finished Thursday lunchtime. It has been snowing all day today, I cleared the driveway a couple of hours ago and the snow's already drifted back in and we are supposed to get more squalls kicking up tomorrow and into Tuesday to go with -10 degree temperatures and a 40km/h wind. Coldest so far this year according to my car was -23C (-10F), but then winter doesn't start for another week or so :?

Here in Vancouver it was +10 celcius with a mix of rain, sun and clouds. Typical near winter day in Vancouver.

OK, I'm cured! :wink:

Still a beautiful (and uncrowded) place though.
