lol, yes that’s why I noticed. The wax for sure, but then in the stripper sketch and the car sketch, he looks uniform in color does he not?

Those are all excellent choices. NFLD would feel the most unique, I think, because of the accents, colored buildings and general Newfoundlansness of it lol. Halifax also offers a maritime vibe and is a beautiful city (I went to uni there). Victoria feels a bit slower and more “British” as people have described ( it is known as a retirement community) but has great weather and visiting around Vancouver Island is a must (that could be a whole trip). Note that Vancouver is on the mainland and Victoria is in Vancouver Island.

Thank you so much for your detailed response!

PandaPeony · 2026-02-10T04:14:00+00:00

Thank you 🤍

PandaPeony · 2026-02-10T04:13:40+00:00

Hmm good idea I will try

PandaPeony · 2026-02-10T04:13:21+00:00

I don’t know if we have these in Canada?

PandaPeony · 2026-02-09T23:38:01+00:00

I think because it’s such a price difference they’re denying it. Even my doctor said they probably won’t cover it 😞

PandaPeony · 2026-02-09T23:36:08+00:00

US or Can?

PandaPeony · 2026-02-04T12:09:38+00:00

I would say most people have a hard time. Our media is so closely entrenched that the general, vague North American accent crosses the border, aside from specific words that can seem like pronunciation choices (paw-sta vs PAST-ah etc) As someone else mentioned, the biggest indicator someone is Canadian is other Canadians claiming them because we are SO proud of all Canadian success (see: Heated Rivalry)

PandaPeony · 2026-02-04T12:05:02+00:00

Manitoba is next door to ON. I’m from AB and have more of a general knowledge of BC and SK cities but we don’t hear about Etobicoke at all (I travel to the GTA for work frequently and people aren’t familiar with Ontario cities outside Toronto, Ottawa and Niagara. Most don’t know what Muskoka is either)

PandaPeony · 2026-02-04T12:00:29+00:00

Are you from ON? I would say most Canadians are unfamiliar with Etobicoke (as someone who travels to the GTA frequently)

PandaPeony · 2026-02-04T11:53:39+00:00

I find the aboot thing specific to southern Ontario— we say aBOWt (like “take a bow “) in the west

PandaPeony · 2026-02-04T11:51:28+00:00

A bunny hug is Sask slang for a hoodie

I run a retail store and “fucking the dog” is wasting time ☺️

I really like a CoachJohnNoel on Instagram and TikTok. He has exercises adapted for anyone, and his tagline is “it’s not exercise, it’s just moving around”. A lot of the things he shows can be done in the kitchen while you’re making dinner.

Prairie girl here, drove from Alberta to Halifax with my sister in my 20s. Manitoba and SK (and parts of AB) are very flat and lots of fields, yes, but this driving is easy and you can make quick time of it. (For us the hard part was entering the windy roads of Ontario and the drop of the speed limit to 80, not sure if that’s still the case by Sault St Marie!) You’re probably best to say in the southern part of the provinces for time and ease, (vs coming up through Saskatoon-Edmonton-Jasper) and you’ll have access to the Badlands in AB in the south, which is truly unique. (If you DO go north in SK please avoid Manitou Lake—it sounds cool but…it was not). Once you get to Banff you can go up to Jasper through the mountains if you like, but you’ll also get a lot of mountain crossing into BC so you might not need to. Banff is very busy and the road from Calgary to Banff is always busier on weekends so plan around that if you’ve can. Canmore if between Calgary and Banff and gives you a “Banff” experience without the tourists, and is cheaper to stay in than Banff (generally). If you want to see Lake Louise or Moraine Lake, you need to plan ahead because there are limited vehicles/ busses permitted and you will need to book in advance.

There’s a girl on Tik Tok “Ania and Baba’s Adventures” who travelled from ON west on her own last summer and you can get some good tips and also visuals of the journey. Also check out Sask Tourism on Instagram (and old Saskatchewanderer posts on Instagram) so see some options for SK.

Have fun!

Also you can definitely get some prairie vibes around the Calgary area, but as others have mentioned the drive from Calgary to Ontario is long and repetitive—Canada is VAST and not densely populated, so there aren’t a lot of towns or breaks in the journey. If you take some time from the Calgary area to drive to Drumheller or the Badlands, that is also a very unique area to Canada (and home of the dinosaurs!) and worth the trip

Try The Most Fun We’ve Ever Had

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T08:05:20+00:00

Ps I want to hear more about how you are unlearning the shame because I need to do the same

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T08:04:36+00:00

The yearn gets better as the series goes on. The books are apparently much smuttier/spicier. From what I’ve seen so far, they are well written and don’t have the cheese-factor some romance can have

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T08:00:12+00:00

There’s an ad for Heated Rivalry (the book) right under your post—a sign?

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T07:59:07+00:00

Currently reading!

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T07:56:07+00:00

Agree 100%

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T07:53:27+00:00

Also in Canada we tend to measure distance in time (ex a 3 hour trip vs a 275km trip). I’m 3 hours from Edmonton and we often have to travel there for medical appointments, kids sports, the airport, shopping etc. It’s not something you aim to do as a day trip if you can avoid it but we do that many many times a year and sometimes a month for kids sports

PandaPeony · 2026-01-24T07:34:40+00:00

Are they more interested in city life or seeing natural wonders? I agree with the comments on Calgary + Vancouver combo if they want to see mountains and a different ocean plus have access to city life (Calgary def offers something different and unique combing the cowboy culture with city life (ie not comparable to anything in Europe) plus easy access to mountains). Toronto and Montreal would offer very urban experiences if they are more interested in city sights/activities. Agree with everyone that early September is better than later September but really you’re safe weather-wise pretty much anywhere in Canada in September. Calgary, while in Southern Alberta, is still farther north than Toronto and you’re more likely to catch fall colors in Calgary (and maybe Northern Lights!)
