Camping. Lots of room for it, that's for sure.

I've talked to some people recently who said when they got home from the last day of school, their Moms would have the car packed ready to go, and some of them would spend the whole summer at it. These were the days of stay-at-home Moms.

You see, I'd look at that and nominate 'flower beds'.

But then, some people only see the evidence they want to see.

and litter control. Seriously. It's really clean and tidy up there, as though people give a shit about their surroundings, which they evidently do not here. Good going, guys.

Just ask William Shatner - it's way easier to chew the scenery when it isn't covered in garbage.

Montreal and Vancouver are probably the most exciting cities. You must be a fun time on Saturday nite. :)

Yep, I've only been to Toronto, but I went 10 years ago and all the binmen had been on strike for a few weeks, they went back to work the day I flew in. The journey from the airport to Toronto stank and I was worried it was going to ruin things, but then when we hit the city everything was spick and span and you'd have never known.
