Hypothetical: you're driving out to the jail to bail out a friend, and you need to kill a little time. It's only 2:00 and at 3:00 they release all of the hookers, which is fun parade to watch.

You decide to stop at Dunkin Donuts, where you get a blueberry cake doughnut and a glass of orange juice. You sit in your little hard plastic booth and you suddenly hear a voice.

"I bet you wish you were at Tim Hortons, eh?"

Huh? You turn around, and find yourself face to face with a group of people who are clearly Canadian. You know what I'm talking about.

"Leave me alone," you say, which is the proper response to anyone who tries to talk to you at Dunkin Donuts.

"We're the Tim Hortons prize patrol!" says a man in a big beaver hat. "And I'm pleased to say that you've just won a two-week vacation to Canada!"

He hands you a form, and sure enough, it's true. You've won! You start filling out the form with all of the usual information, and you discover one interesting requirement. You must spend the entirety of your vacation in one province or territory, and you must decide now.

Which province or territory do you choose?

I'm really torn. Here are my contenders.

1. Manitoba. There's not a lot in Manitoba that draws me in, but Churchill is there, and that's where the polar bear migration (or whatever) occurs. That would be really cool.

2. Nunavut. I've always been curious about Baffin Island and Ellesmere Island. I'm not sure what I would do there, but a free trip is probably the only way I'll ever visit.

3. British Columbia. I'm curious about the northern part, and suspect that it's gorgeous.

4. Quebec. I've been briefly in both Montreal and Toronto (Ontario), and I actually enjoyed Toronto more. But given what I always hear about Montreal, I feel like I missed something there, and I'd like to go back and explore more.

Yeah I'd pick, after Alberta, British Columbia. I've been to Quebec twice —Montreal and Quebec City. Quebec City is like being in Europe very charming and awesome to drive into from Maine, through Quebec's rolling countryside, with European-like stone cathedrals.

I'd pick Alberta to see Banff National Park.

Back in 1993, I did a 6 week tour with a really successful Canadian artist.

I spent days in Toronto, Ottawa, St. John, Fredrickton, Halifax, Quebec City, Montreal and many others on the Northeastern Seaboard. I had my own room overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Halifax because I was the only non-smoker on tour and the view was spectacular.

The singer had a bad tooth infection and was unable to play 24 of the 30 dates, so me and the drummer (who's now an Emmy-winning Sound Mixer) checked out every city pretty thoroughly during the days and definitely at night.

The Newfie chicks were the most fun to be around because they drank beer and liked to fuck, a lot. The French-Canadian chicks were beyond sexy. I went to a few strip clubs and had never seen women that danced so incredibly sensual. It wasn't like strippers in KC, who just shook their asses and wanted tips, it was like the chicks were making love to the pole. It was just awesome.

Toronto was cool, like a "Clean" version of New York. Montreal and Quebec City were more interesting to me because it felt like I was in France, from the people and language (duh!) but especially, the architecture.

I visited Vancouver and Victoria Island in 2005 and it was amazing. Vancouver, again, was super, super clean and Victoria Island was just breathtaking. The 25 minute puddle jumper over the Sound was a sight to behold.

If I had to choose, I'd go back to Vancouver again. Great city, 3.5 hour flight, awesome weather, great people.

I only pay for pussy in the traditional method aka drinks and dinner.

However, the single best ballet I've ever been to was in Montreal.

Very upscale; like walking into a euro executive club with wood paneling and fine leather furniture. I was by myself in town on business for the first time. Happened to just wander in, no signs out front indicating the business inside.

When I walked in they took my drink order at the bar (whiskey and a Cuban cigar please) and brought it to my table. There were small tables all close to the stage, all empty, all of the people, probably 30-40 in this small, well appointed establishment sat in seats toward the back of the room.
Being the American I took an empty table right at the front by the stage.

Short story long, the most beautiful women I've ever seen at an establishment came out one by one and got all the way naked. Brazilian,Asian,Nordic etc. It was the UN of pussy. Then two came out at the same time, slowly got naked, then started to grind on each other but for real.

This is an hour into it an nobody had tipped. So I put a twenty on the stage. Dude in a very nice suit comes to me and nicely, quietly, like a butler, tells me they do not tip here. I said 'well how do your ladies make their money?". He politely informed me they make their money in the back of the house. It all made sense then. I told him I don't roll that way and he said that is just fine, I was welcome to enjoy my whiskeys and cuban for as long as I liked.

You should do another poll on the Canadian province or territory that we should invade and annex. I wonder if the answers would be different.

I have only visited Manitoba and really thought it was boring. We took our camper up through Winnipeg and on to Riding Mountain National Park. It wasn't horrible but we spent a ton of money dragging our camper up there and I think I could have had the same enjoyment camping around the Midwest. I am not going to vote as my experience with Canada is limited. I would only vote if you could vote against one.

Went to old Quebec City (old French Fort converted into a shopping and dining district) in 2016, a festival was going on and we had a great time (I think).

On vacation spent the night in Calgary headed west to Banff National Park then north to Jasper National Park (beautiful drive), shot over to Edmonton and the wife wasted a day shopping at the largest mall in North America.

Back in the 90's drove up to Vancouver from Seattle and visited Stanley Park and a few other places, then took the ferry over to Nanaimo and drove down to Victoria, there was a regatta going on and the harbor was filled with sailboats.

I've hunted and fished in Ontario.

We walked from Gastown to Chinatown one afternoon. The city was so safe we didn't even think about the area or anything.

Turns out there's a couple blocks there where all the crackheads and homelessness is. Pretty scary five minutes, but we did get a good laugh watching a guy on a chopper try to kick the shit out of a city bus when he cut them off making a right turn from the left lane.

For me it would either be Quebec or Manitoba. Quebec because it's the setting for a favorite book, Shadows on the Rock, by Willa Cather (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/834424.Shadows_on_the_Rock#other_reviews). Manitoba because back when I lived in Chicago's Little Italy, somehow a billboard ad urging folks to "Explore Manitoba" was placed near where I worked, around Madison and Ashland, a somewhat sketchy neighborhood back then that didn't seem all that crowded with world travelers nor fans of the Upper Midwest. To be fair, the billboard could be seen by Bulls and Blackhawks fans going to the United Center. Still, the unlikely placement, no doubt a Chicago hustle of Manitoba tourism officials, became the basis of an inside joke for my sweetheart and me when she would ask where we should vacation. One day I will make it there!

In May, I will get to visit Toronto for the first time for a big meeting of pediatrics researchers, which I'm looking forward to. The only time I've been in Canada was when a couple of friends and I drove around Lake Michigan one weekend and overnighted in St. Saint Marie, Ontario.

Our favorite thing about Seattle was this wonderful restaurant called the Icon Grille. Had the best pasta dish there I've ever had in my life. A few months after visiting there I was telling somebody about it and went online to look it up - the building had been condemned and it was closed. :shake:

Toronto looks normal on the surface, but it's most interesting parts are generally found in the nooks and crannies. It's very multi cultural which makes it great for foodies and perverts. For example, the best Dim Sum is found in "Old China town", (rivals Hong Kong), and the best Polish strippers are found on the Lakeshore.
My ideal Ontario vacation would be 7 informed days in Toronto, then 5 days in cottage country (Muskoka), fishing, boating, hunting, etc... Then 1 day in the Niagara region for the wineries, Niagara on the Lake, and the Falls. The last day would be a winter day in Ottawa skating on the Rideau Canal, eating beaver tails and poutine.

Ontario Cottage country is a lot more rugged than the west coast:

You can't go to Ontario or Quebec then.

Canada doesn't have a 1st amendment. This has been taken advantage of by fringe minority groups recently through "Human Rights" provincial laws in Ontario that mandate speech based on gender identity.
Quebec has always asserted laws that ensure French is the primary language displayed in any signage to keep their cultural identity.
The Ontario situation was argued against by a University professor, Jordan Peterson. If we get into that topic this thread will be off to DC in 3...2...1.

The Prime Minister is a virtue signaling, communist, douche bag.

I know people in British Columbia. So that's where I'd visit.

I was tempted to say I wouldn't go, but hey, it's my favorite price -- free. While BC does have it's charm, I'm choosing Quebec in the summer. I can practice my college French and see some old friends I haven't seen since the late 60s and early 70s.
