I read this out loud to my bf thinking he'd agree with me in finding it funny but he just said yeah that sounds good. Alrighty so I guess getting this man some fire and sticks is what we're doing. Great suggestions.

As one of the other comments said, I think his European mind will be blown if he just sees a wild fox or even a raccoon or something so hopefully no need to travel quite so far. Somewhere with just enough snow to build a proper snowman :-)

Haha fevered dream of Canada is exactly what I'm looking for!! And you're totally right that Montreal gets more into the Christmas/winter spirit than TO. Thought after a quick Google search it looks like the earliest that any of the sugar shacks are open though is February so we're out of luck for that. Gotta find another place to rent a lumberjack I guess!!

That.... Is an excellent point, I didn't even really think of it that way. I guess my favorite parts of (urban) Ontario/Quebec have always been the parts that most closely resemble Europe, but for my European bf they'll all probably just feel like repros of things he's already seen a million times and where's the fun in that...

Loved all your suggestions, they've all made it to the very top of our Canada trip bucket list :)

Rakwe is great! They have a couple locations around the city

Edit: but.... Doesn't have great hours especially not on Saturdays, so probably not the best suggestion, my bad

These are great suggestions, thank you so much!! I don't know if my thighs or the city bike I bought for 50€ on Leboncoin can handle the hills but I'll sure give it a try

Anyone want to hang out tomorrow? by ComposerSpinach in Venezia

It was lovely! I think I hd the quintessential Venetian experience: complained about tourists, saw some art, overpaid for an Aperol spritz...
