Prisoner Cove is located in Neys Provincial Park near Terrace Bay, Ontario, site of a former prisoner of war camp during World War II. Lake Superior is my childhood ocean, the coastline always feels clean & refreshing whenever I visit. A cool breeze & shorelines void of people are common, a mixture of beaches & rocky coastlines. During winter the storms across the lake are among the worst in the world, to which the lake is home to thousands of shipwrecks spanning back to the Fur Trading days. The Great Lakes as a whole have an estimation of 6,000 - 30,000 shipwrecks w/ several underwater shipwreck preserves established (at least on the Michigan side). During the summertime the weather is pleasant & whenever I visit (though this was my first visit to the Canadian side), I try to spend a few hours in the water & sand. Out in the distance one can see the Slate Islands, site of the world's largest shatter cone.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore."It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, VancouverText by Steve Smith.
