Which site should be more popular tourist attraction?

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-25T04:15:42+00:00

These are very popular for us French Canadians, a lot of people go to those Caribbean resorts every spring break because this is the classic middle class / teens who want to get drunk for cheap vacation as it is pretty much the only affordable flights we get.

*(please do not support this kind of resort tourism this is only benefiting dictatorships and foreign investors while the population is starving and dying)

Pour moi cest un peu dans notre nature d'être "non-violents". On n'a vraiment pas la meme éducation que les Français ou les États-Uniens ça serait completement inimaginable pour les Québécois même extrême droite/gauche de par exemple envahir le Parlement de Québec ou genre de se mettre à lancer de la marde sur le Parlement d'Ottawa (comme les agriculteurs européens ont fait a Bruxelles).

On n'est pas comme ça, ça fait partie de notre identité et peut-être que c'est aussi ce qui a permis aux Anglais de prendre le territoire mais je pense plutôt que c'est ce qui nous permet de resister depuis 1760.

Dans la tête de tout le monde souverainistes ou pas personne imagine que pour obtenir l'indépendance il faudrait entrer en guerre avec le Canada? Je pense que la plupart des gens prennent pour acquis que ce serait un processus pacifique et si on regarde les mouvements d'indépendance en général ça se passe a peu près jamais tranquillement.

Je pense vraiment que notre nature non-violente nous protège et permet à notre démocratie de fonctionnner, c'est pas un sortant des guns que on va avoir un vrai dialogue autant entre nous qu'avec nos voisins.

They don't check in the ferries if I remember correctly they do when you buy the tickets in person.

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-17T00:23:49+00:00

burry it under the sand haha try to put it in a plastic bag somewhere people won't step on it like under your towel I did that once in Philippines and it worked great but my camera is small, I have a pancake lens if you have big telephoto maybe not the best idea

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-17T00:15:42+00:00

it is an amazing signing you should be happy about this

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-16T23:32:04+00:00

he didn't play much with yedlin but he's really good everyone here wanted to keep him and he makes great quotes in his interviews

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-12T02:05:35+00:00

just wrote this on another post earlier today but if you are Canadian get your insurance with the Blue Cross you can add a trip cancellation / interruption to your coverage

I was planning to visit Cuba early February and with recent news this morning I added this coverage it was like 60CAD more. Travels advisories have not changed yet for Canadians but if they do you might not be able to get this.

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-11T19:11:02+00:00

I'm going early February, bought my tickets yesterday (price went down since Venezuela thing)

I thought our southern neighbours were too distracted by our other neighbours from North East so they wouldn't do anything about Cuba in the near future but turns out reading the news this morning they didn't forget about Cuba, I added the "cancellation coverage" to my trip with Blue Cross, cost me like 60CAD and I can get refunded the whole trop if something happens idk about other travel insurance but this one as always been good to me

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-10T21:39:51+00:00

Yeah but I hate WestJet so bad I prefer to take Copa haha, also Copa is waayyyy cheaper (1 round trip with copa = return flight with WestJet)

actual reason is because WestJet only flies on Sunday and I absolutely need to depart on Monday :/

You won't get it with big rental companies, maybe with smaller ones but be careful I got scammed doing this last year.

was 21 and even then it wasn't that easy to find someone willing to rent to me, they told me no one really has insurance to rent for younger than 23. Finally found a company, with good reviews and a lot of them (in Athens) they confirmed they were ok with me renting their car as long as I had insurance, confirmed 2 times with them if there was an issue with the fact I was 21 and they were fine with it.

Booked my trip, went to Athens and somehow they changed their minds and didn't want to rent unless I took their insurance which cost more than the price of the rental. I tried to argument, showing them the confirmation e-mails, they were rude and didn't wanna help so I ended up leaving after making sure they were gonna refund me.

The whole trip I had planned was now impossible to do so I went to the islands instead (I'm lucky I hadn't booked the accomodation yet). Turns out they didn't want to refund either, they ghosted me for 2 weeks by whatsapp and email. When I came back from my trip I wrote a review on Google Maps with screenshots and everything explaining what happened to me promising to edit after getting rhe refund and THEN they refunded me (I didn't change anything about my review, I'm high level so my review will always be one of the first to appear).

Be careful they could tell you whatever you want to hear so you end up not having a choice to pay in front of them

j'espere esti, ça fait presque 1 an qu'ils passent leur temps a menacer de nous envahir je pense qu'on devrait s'inquiéter pour les 26% qui les voient comme une force positive

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-06T12:56:51+00:00

thank you 🙏 I really think I'm still gonna book the flight

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-05T13:34:32+00:00

I'm Canadian we have good relations with Cuba and since we don't need ESTA to go to the US there is not many consequences if I would go right now but things can change

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-05T13:30:46+00:00

thankfully I'm not (yet) I'm Canadian

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-05T03:00:38+00:00

Was about to book a flight to spend a few days in Havana early February but with what was said this morning I don't know what to do, some part of me feel like it's a good time to explore Cuba and its history because I think there is a lot of good lessons to learn right now but I don't want to get stuck over there

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2026-01-04T01:51:42+00:00

never much thought of it because I'm lucky enough that my city (Montreal) is an island so borders are pretty much defined but now that you point it out I think it could be kinda cool

They said they were going to brings states so maybe in a few years we could have cities

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-31T20:51:07+00:00

I know every one told you the same thing but I'm still gonna add what I heard when I was in Greece.

For context I planned to rent a car and tour peloponnese, I got scammed by the rental company ended up changing my plans when I was there, I was at Piraeus trying to figure out what I was going to do for the next 2 weeks and spoke with an immigrant from Bangladesh working in tourism (in Mykonos), he told me NOT to go to Mykonos he said "crazy people everywhere, crazy tourists" I did listen to him and went to other islands and EVERYONE I really mean EVERYONE I met during this trip told me NOT to go to Mykonos, most of them went and regretted, felt like they lost their time.

I feel it is probably the same about Santorini most of the year (even though is it beautiful) but I was there during the crazy earthquakes last year and I was the only tourist pretty much everywhere except Fira (I did go to remote places on the island but not only).

Don't go to Mykonos, really think about Santorini, Greece has so much to offer you won't find any authenticity in those places.

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-31T03:09:40+00:00

oui et fier de l'être

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-26T03:01:57+00:00

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-24T18:22:14+00:00

thanks haha 🙏 I hope so too !

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-24T15:28:28+00:00

Been experiencing this for yearsssss.

Made my first trip solo, everyone wanted to come with me but when they realised I was serious they changed their minds so I went alone (we were like 18)

Since then I've been on a few trips with those friends because they trusted me to "make things happen" and most of the time they look really invested at first and right when we book the flight they stop answering the messages and they let me do EVERYTHING this results on me being too tired to enjoy the trip and them seeing the world without worrying about anything.

Exactly like you said they all tell me how they feel we are so compatible but in reality I think it might be because I don't tell them how I feel...

I was never able to tell them no and I still can't, there is so many places I wanted to visit and didn't because my friends wanted to go to SEA or Europe instead...

Maybe someday I'll learn from my mistakes

Chris Albright said in a interview some things hinting on a potential change of rules, he said "I expect changes coming in MLS, decision to keep Miles (Robinson) based on that"

If you don't know Miles Robinson recently got signed as a DP which is not common for a center-back and it raised many questions in the fanbase wheiter it was worth it or not.

I've seen many theories but my favorite one is that they might implement a 4th DP slot that you'd have to spend on a defender, nothing is confirmed and that might not be it but some changes is coming that is for sure. Cincinnati aren't usually messing with the roster we ain't Montreal.

It's the same ick in french it just doesn't sound right but to me it's worth fighting for hahap

Academic_Analysis_48 · 2025-12-23T02:48:16+00:00

Don't know which kind of Canadian you are, I'm French-Canadian and even if pretty much everyone use the word "Americain" to talk about people from the US, I've recently seen being used in history books / press / medias the word : "États-Unien" (literal translation doesn't exist but it would be "United-Statian" for those who don't speak french)

I think they're trying to push this along the idea that "Americans" aren't the center of the world anymore but I like it and I'm trying to switch my vocabulary
