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.

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.
A mere sportsman's stone throw from the shores of America's northernmost state, but wallowing in its own uniquely Canadian outlook, Toronto is a multicultural entity, home to an extensive imm…
