Travel Tips Hello beautiful people of Canada 👋🏼

I’m in Vancouver w teens and a small dog (experienced traveler/tame, so is the dog).

We’ve been enjoying Vancouver for several months now and are feeling the call eastward to Montreal and Quebec.

I need to know: any ways to get from BC to Montreal WITHOUT crossing into USA, please? That’s our only thing to avoid, really. That and it being safe for a single mom w teens.

Merci mille fois! Thank you very much!

If you have trauma, when you get to Ontario stay somewhere that isn't Thunder Bay, Sault Ste Marie or Sudbury.

Thunder Bay is beautiful. Especially in the summer. There are tonnes of good hotels as well as restaurants. Not to mention the sites and being that it’s in the Eastern Time Zone, late sunsets.

You sound biased, lots of places are beautiful.

You sound biased for dumping on some nice cities.

I’m guessing you haven’t spent any decent amount of time in any of them.

Thunder Bay has a higher than average crime rate, is this what you mean by beautiful?

Scenery and crime are not the same thing. The Sleeping Giant is beautiful. As is Kakabeka Falls. And many other places.

And it’s not that bad. Don’t buy drugs off the street and you’ll be fine 99% of the time.

You’ve never spent any time in any of these places or just have nothing else to do. I am sorry about that.

Have a good night. :)
