Hello world. I think you should come visit Canada someday.
First of all, we're the largest country in the world that isn't at war for literally no good reason.
Second, we are really big. Not just big: we are utterly, immensely VAST. I haven't even seen all that this country has to offer yet, and I live here. This absolves you from needing to see everything there is. It just can't be done :) So you get to choose: Mountains? Oceans? Prairies? Rugged arctic landscapes that will chill you to the bone just to look at them? We got 'em! We even have a desert. I have no idea why we have a desert, but we do. We're just overachievers that way. We have the world's highest tides (yay Atlantic Canada) and the most adorable lighthouses and cottages you've ever seen. Yes that's in Nova Scotia, the most unnecessarily pretty place I've ever visited. Must be nice to live there, I tell you. Small towns, big cities, and places where you can yell as loud as you want and only mildly annoy the wildlife.
Third, and most importantly, Canadians are generally pretty nice people. (Even the ones that watch too much American media can still be okay on a good day.) Case in point: let's say it's fall of 2001 and things suddenly go historically insanely crazy, what do you do? You stay for a few weeks in Newfoundland and end up as the setting for a really great stage musical, that's what.
Best of all, you don't have to take my word for it : come see for yourself.
