A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.

NOTE: I was thinking of Montreal because of the multicultural backgrounds being the more ideal environment for an immigrant to move to and because I’ve been fascinated with the National Film Board of Canada since I’ve seen their works (The Cat Came Back, Ryan, Boogie Doodle, The Sandman, Subconscious Password with John Dilworth) and I’ve been fascinated with living in the country since I would love to go to another country soon and sometimes I decide on here.

Any other city or province suggestions welcome.

I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip this winter to see the northern lights. The days are getting real short and I'd love to take advantage of that.

I'm currently in southern Ontario and would like to head north a bit to get away from all the light pollution. I'll also be travelling alone so heading off to a park is probably not a wise decision for myself. Also, since I'm going alone, I'd prefer staying at a hostel where I have a chance to meet people but that's not a strict requirement. I know hostels are not a big thing here.

Any information, tips or experiences to share would be greatly appreciated.

Natural gas? Heating oil?

I'm really into traditional architecture and pre-automobile urban planning. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of that in North America. I know there are a few, I was wondering if Ontario specifically has any nice villages that fit this description? Preferably not abandoned ones, i am looking for ones still inhabited.

I am quite enjoying the LegalEagle YouTube channel and I would love to find a similar channel or two devoted to Canadian Law. Any suggestions?

I live in a small city pretty far from any major centres so I make use of Amazon from time to time. Does anyone know of any good Canadian alternatives?
