french speaking canada, the second biggest province. it's people are decendents of french immigrants, yet the people in general have a disdain toward france for basically abandoning the place in 1757. older generations also have a similar disdain toward canada because of the language divide. montreal is the capital and is basically toronto, but with a different langugae. quebec city is europe in north america, beautiful, but harder to navigate for an english-speaking tourist (the deeper into quebec you get, the less likely you'll encounter english signs). tried to seperate from canada twice, which was a stupid idea. younger generations are more apathetic, which is actually a good thing, since it means quebec sovereignty should never be an issue again.
The liscene plat of quebec says Je Me Souviens. This translates to "I remember." What the hell are they remembering? Truthfully, they don't know!

canada's vacationland. unfortunately, most people forget about it, except when they want to get away from citylife in toronto or ottawa. beautiful coastline, amazing scenery. province is in bad shape financial though. home of three great things that start with s- seafood, sloan, and sidney crosby.
I add amazing scallops while listening to Sloan and watching Sidney Crosby on TV while in Nova Scotia.

most populous province in canada, although most people live in the very southern part of the region, along the 401 corridor. ontario is very much like new york state. a mass of people live in the south, and ridicule the northern part. contains the megaplex they call toronto and the surronding GTA (greater toronto area, not the video game), with its mass of over 6 million people. also has the nat'l capital of ottawa, home to the most annoying of all hockey teams and a fan base that is unable to support CFL football. windsor and oshawa are now north america's auto capitals, since detroit went down the crapper. hamilton is the steel center and is suburbs basically now connect with the western suburbs of toronto. london is another big city too, but no one really cares about it. the rest of canada thinks the media in the country is biased toward ontario, and they're prob right. the only canadian province americans really know exists, and the place where 19-20 yr old usa kids jump the border to go to niagara falls bars.
more than 25% of canada's population lives in ontario's golden horeshoe. more than 25% of american college students pass out in niagara falls ontario hotel rooms after guzzling too much liqour they bought at bars or the LC.

the eastermost province, way out there in the atlantic. has its own special timezone, cause it makes em bad ass. newfies is the pejoritive word for them, it stereotypes them as hick fisherman. they're not, but it is true that they live liqour. and curling, which is actually as popular as hockey there. newfoundland is an interesting story. it was a country for a bout 15 years in the early 1900s, then ran itself into the ground financially. their gov't asked the brits the make them a colony again in the 1930s, which they did. then the brits asked canada if they wanted newfoundland and canada said "why the hell not?" and took it.
newfoundland is the only country in world history to voluntarily give up independence and become a colony.
