Took Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff and stayed at Banff Springs Hotel.

Also too train trip with stops at Toronto-Montreal-Quebec City (stayed at Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac). Both trips : A+

Banff Springs Hotel:

Basically everywhere in BC is gorgeous. Vancouver Island is my favorite. The Sea Wolfs there are beautiful creatures. Semi aquatic and they get 90% of their food from the ocean. Many visits to friends in the Fraser Valley. Banff is an outdoorsman's dream, year round.
When you start with a conclusion, you tend to find evidence that agrees with it.

Do you support the CBC saying this? At least 24 Canadians were killed in the terror attacks that day. Seems awfully disrespectful to not call 9/11 what it was.

I think this is a derail of the thread topic, so I kindly ask that the CBC issues re: 9/11 not be covered in the trade war thread.

Good night!

Apologies but Canada thread is Canada thread as seen by the above posts talking about its beauty and not a trade war. It was derailed before I posted.

Gavin isn't even sure he wants to get rid of tariffs. May not be the guy for you to throw support to.

Nope, he's the one baby!

Get on the bandwagon, you seem a little different after coming back. I think you may be open to different political ideas.

Maddow also gets it right, this time about the Lakes.
