Well... This is a rich country! You can eat at McDonals, Wendy's, Burger
King, Tacotime, KFC, Subway or Chinese foods..

What's that you saying? Oh, you want some good home made foods... Ahhhh.

Sorry, we don'thave to any to choose from. The old "babuskas"are dead and
new generation din't want to learn how to cook.
Go to Safeway and buy some bologna with macaroni, TV dinner or some Kraft
dinner. Be happy with what you've got.

Just an opinion...> Michael.

The subject line says it all. Any suggestions for a stop along the way

August?

According to Greyhound.ca, it takes 30 about hours from Winnipeg to Toronto.
Winnipeg to edmonton is about 20 hours, Winnipeg to Montreal is about 35
hours.
These times are on schedule and includes stops for meals/driver changes/bus
changes.

Your actual driving time may be a faster/slower depending on your driving
style.

The Winnipeg to Toronto time will vary depending on the route you take.
Greyhound goes to Thunder Bay, then along North Shore of Lake Superior to
Sudbury and may have "Flag" stops at many of the towns it passes through.
After
the stop at Sudbury, its a 6 hr non stop to Toronto. You might choose to
backtrack through the US and cross again at Port Huron or Detroit into
Toronto.
(shorter).

(If you do decide on Toronto and/or Montreal, I would head towards Chicago
then
to turn east towards Toronto. I would then take the northern route through
North Bay and Sudbury to Winnipeg before heading home.

Based on all the responses I have received, my understanding is that a car
would be very helpful in Victoria (as opposed to Vancouver whose public
transportation is very good). Is my assessment correct ?.

A NEW MACHINE INVENTED
My name is Ron Kliewer and I am president of a small company called
Innovative Surface Solutions International Inc.
I am writing this letter to introduce you to a new kind of floor grinding
and finishing machine I have been working
on for the past 4 years with 320,000.00 invested. It has 8 four inch
diameter velcro pads on the bottom of the machine.
Four spin clockwise and four spin counter clockwise which in turn makes
for
a super stable running machine. With different
types and grits of pads virtually any kind of floor can be ground and
polished including hardwood, concrete, marble, terrazzo,
fibreglass and even epoxy paint.

The web site is as follows: http://publish.shaw.ca/nytrus54/

The machine has been entirely built on a computer using a program called
IRONCAD. It is a dream to use, very well
built and the potential is just there I know it. I invested so much of my
funds that I ended up losing my company that
I built up over the last 14 years, I had to sell it for pennies on the
dollar and now I am manufacturing these machines
one at a time in my garage. Things are real tight but I am not giving up
on
this, the machine is truly needed in the industry
and if I can just hang on for a bit longer I know this will really take
off.

You probably know of someone who had a real good idea but it never got
off
the ground. Why? He ended up just
giving up because of costs of research and developement. Well I refuse to
give up. Can YOU help?
You are most likely wondering "what can I do to help? I am not in the
floor
industry and never will be." True, but could you help to
keep me going? Could you send 1, 2, or 5 dollars?

I know, I know, you are thinking "Crap, this guy is begging on the
internet."
Well sad to say maybe you are right. Put yourself though in my position,
the bank will not lend me anymore money, venture capital
companies rob you blind, sure I could just temporarily close up and get a
job pumping gas but that is a last resort, and I know then it would die.
I truly know and feel that this machine could be in every rental store in
North America, it is needed.
Help me to carry it through. Could you help?
Here is my address:
I.S.S. International
2220 Tolmie Ave.
Coquitlam, B.C.
Canada
V3K 3E2

Kind regards, Ron Kliewer


P.S. Imagine going into a rental store and seeing my machine! You could
quietly say to yourself "I helped that guy out, looks like he did it!"

would be very helpful in Victoria (as opposed to Vancouver whose public

After coming back from our Alaska cruise, I am still contemplating which
tour to do first; Vancouver tour or Victoria tour ?
Is Vancouver port (where Alaska cruise lines dock) far away from the town
and in the same time is it nearby the BC Ferries (or any other Victoria
ferries?)

To plan a trip to Vancouver and find out what there is to do, visit
www.VancouverPlus.ca

Great site, lots of information.

Sorry for the cross posting, but I realized that this is more
appropriate
newsgroup for my post.-
We plan to stay in Vancouver for 2-3 days at the end of a 7 day Alaskan
cruise. What places and things to do in Vancouver during this period.
We
like nature, we don't mind some adventures. Thanks
AL
PS: Do you ABSOLUTELY recommend extending the 3 days to 5 for example?

Thanks for the information on Alberta and all the beautiful sites to see. I
will look into that website for bed & breakfasts. I see you're from Germany.
What part of Germany are you from?? Besides Alberta, Canada, Germany & the
UK are on my list to see. I heard the southern part of Germany is gorgeous.
I would like to go to Germany during the October Fest. What part of October
does it take place, early or later in the month?? I heard Munich has a big
festival and everyone gets crazy. My husband was stationed in the army at
Nuremburg for 3 years, he enjoyed his visit to Munich for the October Fest.
Hope to talk to you again.

Hi There,

Sorry for the cross-post, but I feel that this belongs in the group as
well.

I am a native British Columbian who has never really had the chance to
experience the rest of Canada and even most of this great province. I
would
really like to Backpack Canada, the same sort of way Canadians backpack
Australia, Europe et al. I think that it would be a great experience to
use
the hostel network and meet others who are doing the same thing.

I am looking for others who have done this, and stories/advice that they
might have. Does anyone have 'must see'
attractions? This includes both wilderness and urban items. I am planning
on doing this in Mid-September to late October, so weather will start to
become a concern. Are there any highly recommended hostels in each
province?
How late in the year do some of these hostels operate? Does anyone
acutally
stop in Saskatchewan? :)

Knowing how BIG Canada is, and how terrible Via Rail is, I think that I
will
probably take my car. This could be ok, because I meet up with others,
they
can ride along.

I live in Nanaimo, BC and know the Island really well, and I have done
some
of the better hikes on it! But I have never actually stayed in a hostel,
and
wouldn't mind meeting people who have. I wouldn't be against suggestions
regarding Vancouver Island as well.

Any stories, advice and/or ideas would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

What happened to the decent Canadians? The Canandians named George

Did the left destroy their country? The U.S. needs to close the

Well, in hindsight that's what the native Indians must have been
