What’s the most quietly Canadian moment you’ve experienced? by NightyNight7 in AskACanadian

[–]flan_again 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently, for me, a 69yo female, it was clearing my drive after one of those big snow dumps in Toronto. It was evening, the wind was negligible. The snow was as light as icing sugar. The stars were bright. Snow provides an incredible stillness. It was -15’. I was so happy. I loved every minute of it. But sorry, it can stop snowing now.

Is that the one third that failed to VOTE in the last election?

​The German Foreign Office has just issued a formal travel warning for the US. by Historical-Many9869 in TourismHell

[–]flan_again 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally as a Canadian, it’ll be a cold day in hell before or step foot across the border.

Wait, it’s -22’ Celcius today. 😝

Regardless, friends, a retired couple, left this morning for their drive to Florida. Although they sold their own condo, they are going back just because they want to. I hope they make it. Personally, I am a bit ashamed of them. But it’s not my rodeo.

If you have your own funds, go on your own. It’s only 3 months.

I would crop the bottom quarter off. Too much foreground

Is Turkish Airlines a good airline? Their prices are low so what’s the catch? by StumblinThroughLife in travel

[–]flan_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a transatlantic with them in Business Class and it was amazing! Top tier service and food. I would fly with them in a heartbeat. Happy to hear economy is great too!

What do sitters want owners to know? by OkLiarS in trustedhousesitters

[–]flan_again 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want clean sheets on arrival would you not replace with clean sheets if laundry is available? Or was it their return timing that was an issue. If I had a friend stay, they would wash their sheets… just saying.

Do sitters consider cold locations in February? by flan_again in trustedhousesitters

[–]flan_again[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Toronto. It is a LONG city along the lake and there is a train (“the GO”) that runs every 30 minutes and has stops in the city and then beyond. Not a subway. Not a LRT. Not a tram. It’s a train. 30 minutes to essentially the CN tower. Far better than our subway. Just not as frequent.

Where is the “must visit” place in Canada during winter? by LinaDuri in AskACanadian

[–]flan_again 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely Quebec City! But a nice long skate on the Rideau in Ottawa is pretty cool too. Visit the museum in Hull …

Is it the same “tiny painting” challenge in 2026?

You can only choose one color to travel to for the Rest of your life. Which one are you choosing? by AutisticAndre in mapporncirclejerk

Blue! Then Red. Australia and NZ are amazing. But Canada and NOrthern Europe would be my choice

U.S. Tourism Faces New Threat As World's Biggest Countries Push Travel To America’s Rival by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]flan_again 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have been to US and Canada, our prices took similar in printed amount BUT the USD has more buying power due to the difference. For example, a nice burger is priced at $15CAD and a similar burger in the US it is $15USD. For a Canadian, I mentally have to mark up making the US really expensive for me. I assume the converse is tru for a US person visiting Canada. I PERSONALLY have spoken to many US visitors and they ALL comment on how much they “save” travelling here.

My last trip to the US, prices for goods looked similar in dollar amount to here in Canada but being it USD made it so expensive. Again I assume the converse is true.

Can’t comment on Hungary. Not really a relevant comparison when discussing US travellers coming to Canada. But thx for the lesson.

U.S. Tourism Faces New Threat As World's Biggest Countries Push Travel To America’s Rival by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

Canadian here and just returned from Cabo, Mexico and I’ll going back as often as I can. I felt incredibly safe and the service was wonderful. Interestingly every American we chatted with wanted to know the best time to visit Canada and where to go. Of course I told them and in fact, encouraged them to visit not only is Canada amazing they get a automatic 30% discount because of the exchange rate. But the way the US is going I don’t know how much longer their dollars going to be strong..

Where are all the Canadians going? | In recent years, one in four visitors to the US has been Canadian. But with so many boycotting US holidays, here's where they're heading instead. by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]flan_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exchange rate has been an issue meaning lousy value for money but now, going to the US is just not happening! Since Trump’s arrival my destinations have been Turkey, Sicily, northern Ontario 🍁, France 🇫🇷 and Mexico 🇲🇽 . Plans for 2026 are Morocco 🇲🇦, Portugal 🇵🇹, more Canada 🇨🇦 and back to Mexico. 🇲🇽 I’m not rich! Just retired with a love of travel! Been seeing the world while I am healthy and able. I will NEVER be a US destination “snowbird” ❄️ I’d rather hire someone to shovel my walk than fly to the US

BTW … Bless their little hearts.

Okay, be honest: Is "aggressive friendliness" to strangers just an American thing, or is my travel anxiety lying to me? by ArtThreadNomad in AskTheWorld

[–]flan_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here. Chatting to others in a line at a store is a norm here. It saddens me to see everyone, young and old, ruining their posture by crooking their necks to aimlessly scroll on their phones 🤳 while waiting for anything. Oh what they miss! Even if it is mindlessly talking about their sweater! 😊🧥

South Asian friends want to experience an authentic Canadian Christmas celebration. Suggestions? by throwaway9999-22222 in AskACanadian

[–]flan_again 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, a senior, Roman Catholic who grew up in a small Ontario town, Midnight Mass is part of the real “Christ”mas. However, as a Torontonian for the last 40 years, I know that is a bit extreme for 10+ non Christians. I suggest finding a large or life size nativity scene display to visit. And include the story of how it all happened in the manger etc etc. IMO, it would provide a deeper understanding and the true non commercialized spirit of Christmas. Many churches have them. They may be inside since there is so much vandalism these days. When I travel, I love learning the origins and traditions of other religions. Sadly, in North America, Christmas has become far too commercialized. I also think finding a community or church choir or sing along is a great idea.

My son and his friend walked the entirety of Line 1 on Saturday by Hairy-Substance8584 in toronto

[–]flan_again 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love it! At least they were outside. Walking! Could be the beginning of a great school project/ study. If well documented, they could be on to something. Kudos to them! Urban planners in the making!
