Blog: i Backpack Canada - 25 April 2012
The other day I came across Travel Alberta’s incredible award-winning (Remember to Breathe) tourism video, which somehow or another brought me to browsing the videos of every provincial & territorial tourism board.

The Best Poutine I’ve Ever Had – Chez Ashton’s in Quebec City
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 4 April 2012
I eat a fair amount of poutine. Not like daily or anything, that would be dangerous. Foolish even. (Plus poutine goes right to my thighs) To me, poutine is something you indulge in every once in a while. A brief meal (typically enjoyed inebriated) to remind you and those around you about your thoughts on [...]The Best Poutine I’ve Ever Had – Chez Ashton’s in Quebec City is a post from: I Backpack Canada

T’ire D’érable – Why aren’t you everywhere?
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 28 March 2012
One of my fondest memories of taking french immersion was back in Grade 4 or 5. I was living in Saskatchewan and we had a teacher intern from Quebec who was sharing french culture to classrooms throughout the school. Most of us moaned at the thought of learning about anything cultural. That was until she [...]T’ire D’érable – Why aren’t you everywhere? is a post from: I Backpack Canada

A Weekend in Quebec City for Red Bull Crashed Ice
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 21 March 2012
Crashed Ice has sparked my curiosity for years. The speed and grace of hockey, the agility of ski cross, and the obstacle course like adrenaline rush you would only expect to find in a military training facility. Quebec City was no fluke choice destination for this event, it’s narrow streets and steep hills make it seem [...]A Weekend in Quebec City for Red Bull Crashed Ice is a post from: I Backpack Canada

6 Moments In Time That Make Me Ashamed To Be Canadian
Blog: i Backpack Canada - 15 February 2012
Canada has an uncanny ability to be painted as a picturesque, romantic, eco-conscious and friendly nation. A nation filled with a mosaic of peoples, languages, cultures, and traditions. A nation where recycling is the norm, where people hold doors open for others, where assassins use pies instead of bullets, and where you can find a [...]6 Moments In Time That Make Me Ashamed To Be Canadian is a post from: I Backpack Canada

Blog: i Backpack Canada - 28 August 2011
Mmmm poutine… Perhaps it’s the beers from last night talking, but this Sunday seems like the perfect opportunity to stare and drool over Canada’s greasiest meal, La Poutine. Fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Three incredible ingredients which together make for one of the tastiest artery clogging meals.

Bar shticks are pretty easy to come up with. Basically it involves having a thought and then putting that into a bar. Skee ball, Bulgaria, and country clubs for poor people have all been done and done again. Throwing its hat into the ring is the veritable theme of America’s wide brimmed hat, Canada, at [...] Related posts:Hey Hosers!

Blog: Travel Adventures of Newman - 22 December 2010
If you're bemoaning the weakness of the US dollar vis-a-vis the Euro, unwilling to endure the enhanced TSA "pat down" molestation, or your inner Francophile is itching to parler Francais, then consider a quick getaway to the walled, UNESCO World Heritage site of Quebec City.

Charlevoix
Blog: See Simi Travel Blog - 8 November 2010
Born and raised in Montreal, I have been conditioned to believe that I have originated from the best place in Canada, quite possibly the world. Being an English-speaking Montrealer (or “Anglo”) on top of it all, it was rare that I would venture out of the safe compounds of this remaining English enclave. The sole exception to that rule, was a nice overnight trip to Quebec City. However, I had always been curious about the whale watching tours of Eastern Quebec, and one long-weekend I decided to give it a chance.
