Actually Dildo is pretty cute and is the claimed hometown of ex-Playboy Playmate and B movie actress Shannon Tweed.


Everyone knows she was actually from North Dildo

She used Dildo to launch her career.

All of these suggestions have been helpful. I wish I had time to visit all of these places. It seems like Montreal - Quebec City - Laurentians is the likely stop for me..

Go trout fishing in western Ontario.

Lemington Point!

Hey bfg9000, just PM me if you want me to show you the highlights in Montreal and spare you the crap.

Absolutely no one suggesting Toronto.

No wonder Torontonians have such a complex.

[KrazyHorse]

I thought about suggesting it, but in good conscience I couldn't.

[Asher]

There is nothing to see in Toronto.

Ignore these fools.

Now that's a catchy acronym

Thanks Spec. I will be in touch when I have the trip details ironed out..

How important is it to try to speak French while in Quebec?

[KrazyHorse]

Everybody speaks english in Montreal.

In Quebec City I'm not sure. The tourist places will speak english.

In the Laurentians it depends again on how touristy the area you go to is. If it's some tiny little town in the middle of nowhere then you might be out of luck trying to communicate with people in english. If you're at mont saint sauveur or mont tremblant you'll be fine.

BFG. I live in Ottawa and I can recommend it. Its especially gorgeous in the summer, but probably best to avoid it in the Winter. It gets bitter ****ing cold. If you want to go to Museums and see the center of government (Ottawa is the capital, but you probably knew that), this is where its at. Also, we're very close to MTL, as has been mentioned. Maybe even go to MTL, then spend a weekend in Ottawa... that would probably cover everything as we're not a huge city (1 million).

I'd still recommend though, if you're adventerous, going further east into the martime and atlantic provinces. Newfoundland especially. If you really want to see some place unlike any other place you've been too, NFLD is where its at.

Oh, and avoid Toronto like the plague. Its a hole, and only slightly more interesting than Cleveland.

The beating continues....

Surely someone on these boards wants to defend that "world class" city known as Toronto...?

[Kontiki]

Alright, I'll try my hand at defending Toronto.

It's big, has lots of restaurants, is the centre of business in Canada and, um, well that's about it. Oh yeah - we've got the world's largest concrete dildo!
