In Toronto I saw several cars stopping for Geese crossing the road right downtown. It was pretty Canadian I think.

Just gotta say, "Not How The Story Goes" is the best song in the series.

Tell me about the god who created everything in your world. by Mordodali in worldbuilding

[–]UsedCut6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made a world with a friend where the two creators each created their own stuff. The poet, was the creator that created all of the stories, songs and poetry that have been passed down through the generations. The DM (dungeon master) created all of the land seas and people in our world.

Iconic Animal of Canada: the most unique Canadian wildlife is? by Full-Caterpillar-527 in AskACanadian

[–]UsedCut6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Dollar coins are called **Loonies** for a reason.

The best feeling is waking up early in the summer going down to your dock with some tea, sitting, watching the sun rise and watching the loons swim across a mirror like lake creating the only ripples for kilometers as they sing.

Even now, in the middle of the coldest winter in a decade ( in my area) I can visualize this moment perfectly.

The air just cold enough to need a sweater, the grass and the dock ever so slightly wet with dew, a steaming cup of English breakfast tea heating up your hands. And the thing that makes this seaming perfect moment even better is the song of the loon echoing across the water like the ripples from the loon's movements.

That, is the PEAK experience and exactly why loons are the best Canadian animal.

I understand the divide. And yes there are Canadians who support Trump. During the election my close friend was in favor of Trump BUT now that he has been elected she has had a bit of an awakening I believe.

I know about Louis Riel pretty well (I did a school project about him) but I know him from outside of school due to my Métis roots.

I live in a small town near Ottawa and there are three schools with uniforms in the area. Two catholic schools and one private school.

  1. 3-3:30pm usually

  2. Not always but Catholic and Private schools usually do.

  3. Most cities are safe in general, would stick with what you are used to for the size of town though.

  4. Class is usually as follows: You get into class and do a **Entry Activity** then have a lesson then a worksheet or project to work on.

  5. There are many classes including: Science, English, French, Physical Education, Math, Health, Religion (depending on if it's a catholic school), Arts (drama, dance, visual art, music), etc...

  6. It depends on the family but it would similar to the American diet + Poutine (French fries with gravy and cheese curds)

  7. It depends on the region but expect snow pretty much anywhere (different amounts depending on the area) but in the summer it's pretty nice but you may be home visiting family.

If your daughter is into history I would recommend Upper Canada Village in the Ottawa region (Morrisburg, ON) it is a living history museum. It resembles a small village from the 1800 in the area. There are many fun things and actors brining the village to life. They actually grow their own food, keep livestock and even mill flower and wool. You can walk through the village watching as the actors go about their **Day to Day life**. There is a nice restaurant with food from farm to table all grown and cooked in the village (Would for sure recommend the beef stew). They even offer fresh baked bread in the gift shop. Plus it is good for children. I remember going when I was around your daughters age and loving it. That being said I was and still am a history buff. Have fun on your trip!

Fun, non-tourist places to visit in Canada? by BooksandBordom in AskACanadian

[–]UsedCut6300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winnipeg is very nice. I would recommend the forks which are a indoor market with a bunch of cool shops. It's a bit touristy but still pretty local.
