Canada Vacation Guide

Long considered to be the red-headed step-sibling of the United States, Canada is a country that for years has lain as a sort of sleeping giant in terms of economical growth and reputation on a global scale. In light of the recession that has hit the hardest in America and the UK in the past few years, Canada has emerged as one of the new beacons of hope on the horizon as having an economy that is far more stable than its previously-dominant neighbor, and combined with a national healthcare system and some of the most majestic landscapes on the planet, Canada is more popular than ever before as we move into the next decade of the 21st century.

The similarities between Canada and the United States are many, but there are also many differences. While the United States is considered a melting pot of diversity, Canada prefers to be known as a mosaic of cultures which dates back to the time of the aboriginal people of the land. A combination of French and English-speaking natives, Canadians are a different breed altogether, and more resemble their European counterparts than their North American.

From the towering skyscrapers of Ottawa, to the swelling magnificence of Calgary, the cultural importance of Halifax, or the diversity of cultures in Montreal, Canadian cities are a beacon of economic and social stability in the 21st century, with technology that rivals any city on the planet. But beyond the cold, gray steel of the cities is the wide open areas that Canada has become famous for over the years. The northern scope of the Rocky Mountains meander through Canada like some giant, ridged snake, and the amount of national parks and scenic wonders to be found within Canada's borders are second to none. Regardless if you are a city dweller or an outdoor enthusiast, Canada can provide accommodations and activities for every level of traveler.
