maggie! my sister and I are planning a road trip to canada this summer so as a canadian, anything you recommend doing, any absolute must sees?

!!! Oooh, have fun!

I can only really give concrete recommendations for Quebec and southern Ontario, and the later with less than a year of experience - so if you're headed to the prairies or BC I'm not much help.

For Québec:

If you stick to Montreal and the touristy areas, you lively won't need all that much French! Usually people clock that you're a tourist and will switch to English if they can. Less likely the farther you get from Montreal and the Townships.

Goes without saying, try a good poutine (There’s an invisible S in there, we pronounce it more like.. poutsine lmao)! Don't get it from a big chain except maybe Belle Province or Poutineville, the very best I've had have usually been from lil cantines. If they’re not using fresh cheese curds don't trust em.

Also Beaver Tails (a fried pastry brand). Usually have lil kiosks near events and sinfully good. My brother and I go bonkers for them.

In Montreal proper, I'd recommend a walk on Mt.Royal! I forget if the inside skating rink at Atwater is still available this time of year, but might be worth looking into. Vieux Montréal is a nice place to romp around, especially around the canals and the Atwater market. Avoid driving in and around MTL it's a living hell, move around by bus or metro(subway) if you can, you can get day passes easy enough. St.Catherine and Mt.Royal streets usually have fun stores and restaurants to poke around in, and the gay village is great! I'm pretty sure most amusement parks in the USA are bigger than La Ronde, so don't waste your time with it.

Zoo de Granby is one I went to a lot as a child and they do great conservation work and have beautiful exhibits + a fun water park! Bromont is great for winter fun, but wrong time of year, and their water park can be hit or miss.

Both Bromont and Sutton are great for hiking (I have good memories of getting up to a lake on Mt.Sutton just as the mist revealed it, so cool). Apparently so is Owl's Head, but I've only skii'd there. Bromont is expensive and the cops are real sticklers, Sutton is a lot smaller and personally I think more cute and chill.

Lac Brome/Lake Brome is just about the most anglophone place in the province outside of Montreal! You can do a lot of kayaking, boating and even just driving around the lake is nice. It is a tourist town with its businesses catered towards Montrealers weekending there, so everything is closed Mon/Tues but open over weekends. Just a very cute and anglophone town.

Memphremagog / Magog is both an okay town and a really great lake, bigger than Lac Brome if you'd rather get on the water there. Also fun local myths of a lake monster >:3c

If you like murder mysteries, Louise Penny based many locations in her series off of areas in the Townships - such as Brome Lake Books('s old location) and Abbey St.Benoit (which has great cheese). There are maps to help her fans run around and see the locations irl!

Due to the dairy industry there's a lot of great cheese and icecream in general. Coaticook has great icecream and a cool gorge (my ex lived there), but it’s very French so you might have trouble.

A personal highlight: drive up the St.Lawrence. it's gorgeous, sometimes there are whales, and just. Amazingly beautiful. Fuckoff cold water tho.

There are a ton if beautiful national parks in Quebec; Bic is a highlight personally.

For southern Ontario:

Niagara Falls is a mixed bag: the falls themselves are incredible, absolutely awe inspiring (I remember getting to my hotel room after and writing in a frenzy - the MIST from them hits you SEVERAL HUNDRED METERS AWAY). BUT the area around them are a tourist trap, overpriced and iffy.

I haven't run around Toronto much beyond getting lost going to n from the airport, but I've heard decent enough things?

Iirc there might be more Freedom Convoy bullshit going on in Ottawa, so keep an eye on the news if it's on your bucket list.

Also have heard p good things about the national parks, almost went camping with the other grads before schedule conflicts popped up.

Haven't done much due to gradschool unfortunately :c

I also know that Alberta has an incredible dinosaur museum with some amazing specimens, and Dinosaur Provincial Park is teaming with big fossils (almost went on a dig there but Covid happened).

Hope some of this helped!

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Alfred has a house in Washington D.C. Obviously. It’s his capital city. He listened to eons of fighting over where they’d put the capital after Philadelphia and New York weren’t enough anymore, and D.C. got a White House and a Capital and all other fun things. Don’t get him wrong, D.C. was fun! But it was exhausting. Meetings and expensive lunches and expensive parking lots. He could break away sometimes, go to the Mall and look at the museums, photobomb tourists, or hop onto the metro and go look at the zoo.

Sometimes, though, D.C. was too much and he wanted to get away.

Every nation lives in their capital, it’s true. Alfred has a townhouse, with one room dedicated to his nerd stuff and an office dedicated to being a nation. His bedroom is clean and tidy and almost always lit by the glow of some electronic. His kitchen is small and cramped and he likes it that way, because whether he’s making Thanksgiving dinner or watching popcorn in the microwave his house can get lonely. He’s been to Arthur’s London apartment, he’s sat in Matthew’s flat in Ottawa to watch hockey games, he was there to help move a dining table in to Ludwig’s Berlin condo.

Every nation, though, has places they love. 

Matthew has a house in the middle of nowhere up in the very north of Yukon. He goes up for a month in the winter or in the summer, whenever he can get away, and lives off the land, or he goes to his house in Quebec to sink back into his Francophone side. He’ll go to Toronto and stay in his apartment for a bit to catch a hockey game or off to Vancouver to enjoy life on the west coast. Arthur lives mostly in London, but he’ll go to his modest cottage in Kent or off to Northumberland for a bit. Francis might live in Paris for most of the year, but he’ll go south to the beaches in the summer or into the very north to visit Belgium. 

Alfred? Oh, his country is wide and beautiful and full of anything he could want. He has a cabin in Alaska for when his itch for adventure pulls him to the great outdoors, for fishing and hiking and bears and dumb brothers who throw snowballs. He’s got an apartment in Louisiana right in the prime location for Mardi Gras but not too close to the Quarter. He’s got a home in New York (state, not the city) to go stay in the middle of nowhere in the woods when Alaska is just a bit too far. 

That’s not to say that Alfred doesn’t go anywhere else! He loves the Delaware beaches, the fresh peaches in Georgia. He loves the Grand Canyon and all it has to offer him. He goes to Hawaii every year even if only for a little, because it is beautiful there for all its problems, just to swim with sharks and admire the fish. He loves visiting things. He may not love his politic but he loves what his country (what he?) has to offer.

He has had other houses too, old ones. He grew up in Virginia, where Arthur would come to visit smelling of salt and tea and spices, and that had been sold after the revolution because he didn’t own it. He had a home in Philadelphia, small and cramped but very cozy, but that had mostly been empty when he’d been at George’s side and he’d sold it when the capital was settled. His house in Kansas had been flattened by a tornado and the Depression had struck before he could rebuild it. He’d gotten tired of the heat of Florida, especially after being bitten by an alligator. (how do you explain why you didn’t lose a limb to your neighbors even though they saw it almost ripped off?) California was always on fire and he was tired of rebuilding. He’d gotten frostbite living in Michigan in the 1800s and he’d had enough of that. (plus Matthew had come over on a boat, kicked his ass for something, then disappeared into the night. That had been hard to explain to his neighbors too. Matt causes a lot of his problems, but that’s what brothers do.)

So yes, Alfred lives in Washington D.C. Of course he does. That’s where he works, that’s where he fulfills his duty as Nation. It’s just... that’s not only place he lives. Alfred loves to walk through small Texas towns and find the best barbecue, he loves to sit on his porch in Alaska and hear an eagle somewhere in the sky. He loves to sink into the crowd during Mardi Gras and only head up to his apartment to pee. He lives in his capital because he works there, but he is more than just Washington D.C.

Home is where the heart is, and his heart is all over the nation. 

----

Thank you for reading!

I thought about where Alfred would live and I picked a few places that I liked or that I thought would be good getaways. I loved Louisiana but it’s too hot for me. Too many bugs. Either way, there’s no way a nation doesn’t just disappear into their wilds for at least a little between trips and meetings. I imagine that as long as they can be reached, it’s not a big deal. Unless their boss is a big bitchy baby. But that’s a different thing…
