Personal information: I saw relatively little of Canada, considering its size. But I thoroughly enjoyed the weekends before and after my week-long work assignment in Toronto. Driving to the client's office during the week in -21°C was fun, especially since they only plowed a little snow. The CN Tower was impressive, as was the more beautiful side of Niagara Falls, which was partially frozen. The damp, cold wind at around -4°C at the falls was much more unpleasant than the dry -21°C. Last but not least, I visited the wine town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, which I also enjoyed. I liked Canada and the Canadians, and I can easily imagine returning. Furthermore, I appreciate the current attitude of Canadians towards the USA under the imbecilic and pedophilic Trump! |
