Unfortunately, they got off at 15W. Hopefully, just a short, one year detour...you know how traffic can be on the Turnpike

I grew up in the only part of the U.S. where the Canadian mainland is South of the border. Spent a lot of time in Ontario; Windsor, Sarnia and the Soo. I think that's the only border town where the name is the same for cities in both countries.
Never made it to Quebec but my grandmother visited Montreal. After that I really didn't want to go and the feeling was mutual. But that was in the sixties and I'm glad to hear things have changed.
Went camping in Ont. Prov. Park one year and were totaly unprepared for the wilderness. We were used to U.S. parks where if nothing else there were loggging or fire roads. We couldn't get a 4x4 vehicle more than 500 yards from the road. Hiking, portage and rail are about the only way in.
I hope it's still the same.
I always thought of Canada as our wonderful backyard. I figured after we despoiled our half of the continent we could still find a few trees and a little nature still under safekeeping. You folks should think about charging admission. (;¬ > )
It's a great place but I just couldn't stand the snow. Actually I met more Canadians after my dad retired to Florida than I ever did living in Michigan. I met the guy that designed the arm for the shuttle. He had a winter place on the Gulf Coast.

Stever,
About the attitude in Quebec:
I grew up as english speaking in an Irish region of a french
speaking province while having dutch speaking parents. Other than
the stupid kid things that happen to everyone, I have never had an
issue with French people. In fact my wife is French and I prefer
Quebec over all others in Canada mainly because of the people, and
huge abundance of wilderness.
I have to admit that I used to have an attitude towards Americans
mainly because they knew nothing about Canada. I have long since
realized that the reason for this lack of knowledge is that you
guys have enough information in your own country to deal with so
why would you know much about us. Plus we are inundated with
American TV so can't help but know alot about the U.S.
Just to clarify about where I live; I said Ottawa when in fact I
live just north of Ottawa in Quebec. Ottawa is in Ontario but right
on the border of Quebec.
Also Stever, if you want any more info about what it's like to live
here, please ask. There are many areas to choose from!
Regards,
AVB
Yeah lots of people here used to have a problem with Americans and
english speaking Canadians...but that was 20 years ago with the big
campaing about seperating us Quebecers from the rest of Canada and
tempers where flaring up (I was 8 years old at the time so I
remember a bit) but now, you would probably be really surprised how
people have changed. I was raised to accept everybody (sex, races,
language) as an equal so we learned english wile we were young in
my family (I'm native french). I think that maybe older Quebecers
(around 40 and up) are most likely to be pro Quebecers, we younger
people, I think, are more open. You know, Quebec is a wonderfull
province, I invite you to come and visit sometime, I'm sure you
would find that people have changed. If you ever come, let me know,
I'll gladly point out nice areas to visit, and I'll invite you and
your wife over for cofee

I do a ton if internet gaming and have come to find the nicest
folks (online) are Aussies followed by you Canadians. I have also
been to Sherbrooke (20 years ago) and found the people there to
really have a huge dislike towards Americans (or anyone english
speaking).
Just my thoughts, but I am in no hurry whatsoever to get back to
Quebec anytime soon! The rest of Canada, my wife and I are
seriously thinking of moving to Canada from the States.

Careful what you wish for! I may take you up on that!! I want to take my wife to the Hockey hall of fame, and I wouldn't hesitiate to drive a few hours further to Quebec - if I knew I wouldn't be treated like a waste of time.
True that, actually my visit was 25 years ago (I was 14 at the time).
I have also learned that those in Quebec who have a broader world view are far more accepting of "outsiders". I have no idea lately where the sepratist movement lies, and I would never take sides, but I am sure that factored into my experience. At 14 I saw two kids playing, tried to strike up a conversation, they looked at me, one said something to the other in french, and they turned and walked away. Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?? ;-P
Thanks Joel,
Stever

Thanks!
Stever
I am dying to see the Laurentides, I hear they are beautiful! Really I have heard wonderful things about the scenery in Quebec.
Truth be told (I can get away saying this, I am an American) we are a truly selfish people, we go through life treating the rest of the planet second-rate (trust me, we don't just alienate others around the world, we treat each other like this every day!). I have made it a point to know as much about the world in terms of it's people, history, and geography as much as possible (my wife kids that I should be on Jeopardy where I can turn what is interesting dinner learning into real cold hard cash)
I will take you up on that, I could be to Ontario via Windsor in about 7 hours from where I live, Quebec isn't much further.
Thanks!

I will!
I am sure you can point me in directions I never dreamed of!
I went to the south edge of Denali Park (was closed already b/c of snow), couple of days out on the Kenai Penninsula, took a boat ride through the fjords, saw wolves in Talkeetna, was wonderful! I remember it like it was yesterday.
I did get deathly ill from some take-out chinese place in Anchorage! That was projectile vom... enough of that!
