Toronto is nice to visit for a few days if you can avoid the traffic. Beyond that it sucks like anywhere over 100,000 people does. It’s much too much for me bro. I could never live there.
Everyone loves the island, it’s great.
banff and jasper have local elk herds in the city . japanese tourists get right up on them to snap picks from 6 ft away like they arent about to be trampled to death at any moment . they are in national parks so the elk are not really concerned about people

Also I wouldn’t recommend Toronto unless you are loaded, because pretty much everything I said costs money. Although the exchange rate is favourable.
I’ve been to Yellowstone and seen people get all casual around bison. Every now and then, you’ll read about some bison attacking one of those people.banff and jasper have local elk herds in the city . japanese tourists get right up on them to snap picks from 6 ft away like they arent about to be trampled to death at any moment . they are in national parks so the elk are not really concerned about people

2016 I pulled over near radium hot springs to look at some big horns. Guy with a cowboy hat walks up to some 300 pound ram like it’s no buggy. I was mid sentence yelling at him to back off and the thing just swung it’s head casually at him and sent him flying about 10 feetbanff and jasper have local elk herds in the city . japanese tourists get right up on them to snap picks from 6 ft away like they arent about to be trampled to death at any moment . they are in national parks so the elk are not really concerned about people
lol good for the ram . those are the same dummies who roll their window down a crack and try to feed a bear a cookie

I’m probably over exaggerating but I swear the thing was 8 feet high at the shoulder and breathed steam.
My wife is interested in Banff.
Just found this out, as I finally decided to ask for her input.

WoaWhat are you and your family into?
If you want mountains and wilderness like Colorado then I would suggest Jasper National Park (quieter than Banff). It is still close to a major airport (Edmonton).
Banff is insanely busy in august. Finding accommodation can be hell and expensive.@jason73 would know this if he was cool like me.
I would recommend my personal vacation spot, Fairmont Hot Springs in interior BC as well, because I spent my whole life going there and love it.
If you like big cities Vancouver is boring and glum. Montreal is great but better for a single guy wink wink.
Toronto is great for city lovers if you’re weird like that, lots of museums, sports, culture, arts and entertainment. Great food too. Canada’s Wonderland, an amusement park with the second most roller coasters in the world (17), what is widely considered the best collection of non rollercoasters in the world and a large outdoor watermark is a great August day out. Catch a blue jays game and then head up to the CN tower, which for over 33 years was the worlds tallest freestanding structure and still in the top 5 I believe. walk on the glass floor and strap up for the edge walk, as you hang over a 365m drop. Take the kids to Niagara Falls to see one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Drink in a day of history and science at the royal Ontario museum, North America’s fourth largest. Enjoy a play, only London and NYC have a greater selection in the English world. Check out the Hockey Hall of Fame and then visit historic Fort York.
Ontario mercial here
whoever said it was crowded that time of year was right. tour busses everywhere
Whistler/Blackcomb is rad in the summer cuz theres not many people there, you can ride all the lifts up, insane scenery. Close to Vancouver. The nearest city to Banff is Calgary or Edmonton and they are both nothin to brag about.
Five days in Quebec City is too long. 2 is plenty to enjoy the old City the restaurants and just plain walking around. It'll be a little cold and windy get ready.
Then again you could also try to enjoy the surrounding area,Charlevoix the and you could also go skiing if the season is on.
English? If you're not an arrogant ahole and be nice about it, you shouldn't have a problem with speaking English in the touristic areas. You're also American, which gives you a pass. This said, we do have a few assholes that are assholes about language but I don't think they're the majority, you'd just be unlucky.
Blink twice for Montreal
If you are seeing Colorado, forget the west coast. They are big mountains but they are dirty and covered with used condoms and discarded vapes.
For a truly great Canadian experience I’d suggest the east coast. PEI is beautiful and truly unique to Canada. Nova Scotia is beautiful. I’ve never been but people rave about Cape Breton (small island off north of Nova Scotia).

Toronto is a great city. Don’t listen to these cock nosed BC cunts. These clowns come to Toronto and just visit the head shops on Yonge Street and think they’ve seen the city.
There is a tonne to do in Toronto. Like any city there is a touristy, over priced downtown area, but if you visit the smaller neighbourhoods, see the museums and aquarium, you will have a great time.
If you like drinking home brew and shooting rats at the dump, track down @Lars. He lives in a tar paper shack about an hour out of Toronto. Bring your own sleeping bag, because he will ask you to share his.

That's pretty ungrateful of you.
Dude takes advantage of host by sleeping in his bag. Host keeps him warm and cozy by providing heat and all the advantage related to spooning.
Dude bitches about the whole going native experience on some internet forum.

Dude, shut the fuck up.
Attn: Loud, arrogant guy who apparently knows nothing about the giant country that his country borders. B.C. that's the place for you! Have a grand old time. Whatever you do stay the Hell out of Ontario. Nothing for you here.
I’m giving you 24hrs to either delete this post, or get the fuck out of Ontario. Your choice, pig dick.
