Quiet, too—far from city lights and traffic, with no motorboats or jet-skis [...]

It’s time for one of our favourite features! We haven’t had an interviewee for awhile since we decided to cut back on the content frenzy, but today’s is a friend I met last year on Twitter and is so busy kicking back in the Yukon, she hasn’t even had time to draft up an email. [...]

Today’s interview segment is with possibly our most humorous “guest” yet – you see, he’s not even human. And, he’s a cheeky little… guy.

Canada’s capital city, Ottawa, can fill several days with shopping and sightseeing. Once you’ve explored the historic downtown – both the museums as well as the parliamentary district – be sure to explore some of the city’s wonderful neighbourhoods.

My first trip to Quebec was to the province’s largest city, Montreal. As I’ve mentioned, I love Montreal. On my recent trip to Ottawa, I stayed in Gatineau, which is the French half of Canada’s capital. It was there that I found the profound (and waistline-influencing) importance of food in Quebec.
