THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOSE - PART ONE

by RACCOON1

In March 1904 seven moose were transported from New Brunswick to Newfounldland in an attempt to introduce a new food source. Only four of the animals survived the crossing.The moose population on Newfoundland is now approximately 150,000 which is more than the number of people living in St. John.Moose are not heavy thinkers . They eat , drink and reproduce. They don't strategize. They are like cows. They just kind of hang out and go wherever they like.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOSE - PART THREE

by RACCOON1

Hitting a moose can be terrifying. When a fast-moving car strikes such a massive animal, the force at the bumper drives the spindly legs out from under it. The braking motion drive's down the car's front end causing the moose to hurtle toward the vehicle, up and over the hood . Typically , the head . antlers and torso shatter the front window and penetrate to the front seat , at times decapitating the driver. In other cases , the moose will come down on the roof , crushing those inside.The moose hunting season starts in September. If you want to try moose steak, moose roast , moose meatballs or moose cassserole go to Newfoundland .Source : Globe amd Mail - Aug. 21, 2004

Things not to say while in Canada

by rmdw

Sometimes visitors, especially of the American persuasion, visit Canada and say certain things that really aggravate us Canadians. Here are some examples:• This Canadian money is soooo cute. It reminds me of Monopoly money!• I’m surprised to hear that you don’t add “eh” to the end of every sentence.• I see a lot of modern buildings all around, but where are your igloos?

IF YOU CARE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY AVOID THEM !!!!!

by richard4

My travel tip/warning if you like is about photography,and the developing of on holiday.We've all done it before,taken a ton of shots and been loaded up with film,so rather then lug it about the rest of the way we find the nearest photo place and drop them off.Well never again here.THE SHUTTER SHACK,rupert square shopping centre,prince rupert,BC Canada V8J 3T6.I had to have the whole lot 17 films re done back home the developing was very very poor. AVOID.

Snow, snow and more snow!

by sim1

Be prepared for some snow when you visit Ontario in the winter! This picture was taken in Stayner, the village where I used to live, on 30th January, 2003. It was a gorgeous sunny day, so I went out to take some pictures of the snow covered landscape. Hahaha, but the sandbanks were so high I couldn't look over them any more :-)) This is what they call an old-fashioned Canadian winter :-) Not all of Ontario is this snow-covered though. I lived about 1 1/2 north of Toronto in an area also known as the snow-belt. Hahaha, I guess that name explains why there is so much snow here at times ;-)

Musquito They can be a real...

by sim1

Musquito : they can be a real bother! So always take your repellent with you! I got the most bothered by musquito's in the forest and early in the evening. Wow, do those creatures like me! Hmmmm, not so pleased with that!This is what happened on Prince Edward Island. We parked our car at our campsite, opened the doors and there they were..... waiting for us!!! You could hear them zooming... I think they were zooming cheerfully 'lunch! lunch! lunch!'... And I have the strong suspicion that they were refering to us!!! Hahaha. So I got out of the car, and ran for the insect repellant. That did help a bit, but I could still see those musquito eyes staring at me..... and hear them think.... beware if that repellant wears off, then I consider you my dinner! Hahaha, so we took some drastic measures and went out for dinner ourselves, so they wouldn't eat us alive at the campsite :-)

Food Preparations

by KazigluBey

Perhaps it's just because I'm from the Southwest United States, but I find Canadian food to be extremely bland. After my first trip, I always make certain I bring some tabasco and other seasonings with me. In Canada don't count on a restaurant being able to provide them for you! They may not even have them.

odd laws

by chaistarr

35% of a radio stations content must be "Canadian Content". (This is kinda cool....you hear local bands....but then it also means LOTS of Celine Dion- yuck!!!)It is illegal for clear or non-dark sodas to contain caffeine.

Dempster Highway Commercial Traffic

by kusiqstutik

Those tractor-trailer rigs do NOT slow down, so watch out for damage to your windshields and headlamps from flying rocks. In 2001, when we drove it, the northern portion of the highway was being widened, thus traffic would slow a bit--but dust made visibility difficult 'til it blew away.
