gnu hasn't really clarified what the heck he's rambling about...he is promoting his home province of New Brunswick aka The Picture Province, a largely (and unjustly) ignored spot usually regarded as a place you drive through to get to Nova Scotia or PEI. I agree with everything he said, just thought you needed a clue what he's on about!
I live in Eastern Ontario about an hour from Ottawa (and recommend Charmion & Edmund's hospitality and strategic location, btw). Last year Greg Stephens and Kate Barfield let me show them around our neck of the woods and I'd happily do the same for you. Keep us posted on your plans. Are you more interested in rural, or urban environments?
