Jan 23 2025 - Fun Countries

 

Canadian advice on how to respond to tariffs at the individual level is starting to gear up.  One is buy Canadian bourbon not U.S. Another is travel somewhere other than the U.S. - for warm winter weather choose Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala, costa Rica, panama, and Ecuador.  Where will Canadians travel to for spring, summer and autumn vacations?  That's assuming a full depression hasn't started.

What are the countries with the best "Fun Rating?"  It turns out Spain, Brazil, Thailand rate as the top 3 by US News.  

Other services rate Canada as one of the top countries.  Maybe we should travel in Canada as the year progresses.  Canada is considered a desirable destination for adventure.  I assume you'll go west for that.  Then there's wildlife and nature. British Columbia is highlighted.  Toronto and Vancouver are considered top places. Wanderlust named Canada the second most desirable country after Australia. 

What makes us fun?  We seem to have "very specific Canadian habits" that other countries don't understand and find funny.  What are they?  Here are a few. The rest are HERE

"My favourite one is when people come across a mitten, hat, or scarf, and place it on the nearest pole so the owner can easily retrieve it, and everyone respects it."

"Switching between metric and imperial depending on the situation..."

"...or ignoring both altogether when it comes to driving distance, and just using time instead."

"Our lack of standardization when it comes to dates. We use all three formats, anytime."

"I thought 'shit disturber' was a universal term. Apparently it’s quite Canadian."

"Calling electricity 'hydro.'"

 "Using the barbecue in winter. I can't think it's a purely Canadian thing, but we had some Swiss people here, and they audibly gasped when it became known I was going to BBQ burgers and chicken in the backyard."

"Backing into parking spots."

 
 

I found this puppy picture of Millie and turned it into a watercolour.
