Good buddy of mine spent 5 years in Calgary and has only good things to saw. The Tarsands really pushed things in that province out of joint.

I’d like to spend some time in Van. I was in Victoria for a few days and Nanaimo for a few more. But Van and Tofino were bridges too far on that trip.

Portland was the West Coast city that was outstanding to me. Victoria was cute. Seattle was excessive.
