There’s this narrative out there that the West is doomed to a debt crisis because no politician can ever win an election by promising to cut spending. Do you think it’s true for Canada? I’m talking about politicians at the provincial and federal level.

Hello again! Thank you for all the kind responces on my previous post! But as for now, we can't really decide on which city to visit. Both of the cities/provinces are really interesting in their own ways.

Important details:

1) We won't be able to rent a car - neither of us have driver lisence. So only public transport will be avaliable to us.

2) We're planning on visiting in the first half of May.

3) We appreciate great sceneries and nature in general, but we are also interested in city life (day and night).

4) We could afford one domestic flight, but idk if we'll have enough time to visit both cities. And somehow it's much cheaper to go Astana (Kazakhstan)-Vancouver-Toronto-Vancouver-Astana than Astana-Vancouver-Toronto-Astana, so it will be even more time lost on travelling.

Not so important details:

1) We love music and geek culture, small vintage (and not so) shops, local cultures (every kind).

2) We love to walk and appreciate walkable places.

3) We love science and history, so museums and libraries would be cool to include.

I understand that it's not possible to include every great and beautiful part of your country, but we want to maximize our time there. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Hi everyone, I'm a TV producer working on a new documentary about HOSERS that will air on Crave next year.

The documentary will ask important questions such as "what is a hoser?" and "does embracing the hoser give Canada a unifying identity?"

We are looking for people who identify as "hosers" to appear in the film. I figure that might apply to some of you here!

So: any of you hosers want to be part of a documentary?

It is going to be a great film with some awesome celebrities attached, and it will definitely be a love letter to the amazing Canadian archetype known as "the hoser."

If you're interested in participating, please fill out the form below and send a short video indicating what makes you a hoser!

Quebec famously invests heavily in large cultural festivals, including some of the world’s largest comedy, jazz, francophone music, and fireworks festivals. Does this commitment to the arts also extend to the public funding and structure of arts education in primary and secondary schools, and does Quebec differ from the rest of Canada in this regard?

BF is a long-time artist and full-time teacher (high school and university). He is formally trained in art. He thinks Canadians for past decade, just have declining interest in Group of 7 artists..or any Canadian landscape original paintings. He and I also think part of the problem is due to alot more cutbacks on art courses at the high school level and shrinkage of Fine/visual arts faculties at Canadian universities.

What /who do you appreciate in Canadian art? Or maybe it's surrealist stuff..which I've yet to have sufficient exposure.
