Things to do in Canada?

[cjcride]

Toronto stuff, Queen Street West was voted the 2nd 'coolest' neighborhood in the world. Lots of unique shops, bars, eateries etc.

Check out Greektown on Danforth Ave, lot's of good eateries.
The Eaton Center on Yonge St. tons of shopping and the US buck gets about 10% premium.

Not so popular out West ... I hadn't even heard of it until about 3yrs ago.

Yeah, it wasn't big in Ontario when I was a kid but it was EVERYWHERE in New Brunswick when we moved out there. Also popular in Nova Scotia. When I moved back to Ontario it was starting to take off here and now really has.

This is true. I knew they were metric, but I didnt take the road signs into consideration as well. Do people ever drive slightly over the speed limit there?


No offense, but LOL, YES!!!!!

Not too sure if they cops up there are uptight or not and was unsure how to ask that question politely as I know we have LEO members here. The US has areas that you can easily speed 10+ while others its a no go. Literally.

If you drive on the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way, or the Canadian equivalent of the I90) you'll find it's more like the Autobahn...

Set your cruise to 70MPH and you'll never get pulled over for speeding.

As I'm sure is the case commonly throughout North America (at least where law enforcement uses common sense), there is tolerance. Be extra cautious in construction and school zones, because that's where you'll have issues. Depending upon the jurisdiction in which you drive, you may have to slow to 60 km/h when passing stopped emergency vehicles with emergency lights on (including tow trucks in certain places).
