Subject: RE: BS: Travel Hints for Canada?
It's far out of the way, but the most amazing thing in Canada is Louisbourg, in Cape Breton, north part of Nova Scotia.

An entirely European-style city, built by the French in 1713, blown to bits by the Brits in 1758, and rebuilt by laid-off coal miners in the 60s. Totally weird.
