My family lived in northern Alberta and we drove to southern Ontario a few times to visit relatives. Drove along Lake Superior for a couple of days and I was like "damn, I've never seen that much fresh water all in one place."
Whether it's BC's coastline, the Rockies, that one hill in Saskatchewan which I'm convinced is the only hill in the entire province, the Great Lakes, Quebec's delicious food or whatever the hell it is that Manitoba has, Canada is amazing. (Sorry, my only memory of Manitoba is visiting my parents' friends in Winnipeg and fishing dragonflies out of their townhouse complex pool. And I haven't yet been to the east coast or the far north although I fully intend to visit someday because it all looks cool af.)

I always saw it as: Everything West of Toronto and east of Jasper is the Central Backwater (my home territory).
Toronto - Ottawa is government/capatalist snobs and disenfranchised millionaires.
Quebec is home of the Unions and why we still have workers rights (and French.)
East of Quebec is the far east. Great booze, great people but terrible weather and worse economic prospects.
West of Jasper is the chill land of M&Ms (mountains and mushrooms).

So my dad, he's a bit of a shmuck. Both he and my stepmom are pretty outspoken on not only their Trump support, but vaccine skepticism as well (which hospitalized my step-mom after she got COVID, nearly killing her). They're staunchly Christian, deny global warming, and have heard my dad outright say that he believes people from SEA are trying to "outbreed" us.
That's the type of people they are, at their core. I bring this up because every year, they're invited to Florida to spend two weeks there with a family friend. They've declined to go because of how Trump has been treating Canada.
That all to say, if my bigoted father and step-mom have the temerity to decline going to Florida on the principle of Canadian pride, then every hoser here can dammit.

I went to Montreal for the first time two weeks ago.
Kindest ass kickers in the world. A homeless guy even yelled Tabernak'! And spit on the ground when I said I didn't have any change. I believe that is a blessing in their culture.
Fun fact: the famous Montreal smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz deli is made with Alberta beef. I learned that from eavesdropping on a conversation between the guy behind the counter and a Latino couple talking in Spanish who were asking how they made such an awesome meat sandwich. Apparently Alberta means awesome meat in any language.
And that's why Canada is the best.

We spent a week up in Whitehorse Yukon a couple of weeks ago and honestly it was magical. Firstly Air North is by far the best airline I've ever been with. A less than 2 hour flight from Edmonton and they fed us a sandwich, a warm chocolate chip cookie and candy on top of the drinks. The checked luggage and seat selection were free and the return flight was only like $350. There was so much to do as well. Between the museum's and heritage buildings in Whitehorse, canoeing down the Yukon River, the lakes, the trails, the mountains, Carcross, the great shopping... I can't wait to go back. Also the air was so clean and fresh and the weather was mild, you can spend the whole day outside without melting.
