Winter
activities
:
Winters
in
Canada
can
get
very
chilly

talking
about
really
low
temperatures
,
perhaps
-
40
degrees
Celsius
in
some
parts
of
the
country
.
Why
is
that
fun
?
Because
it
makes
winter
the
best
season
to
visit
Banff
and
Lake
Louise
outside
of
Calgary
,
Alberta
;
and
Mont
-
Tremblant
,
90
mins
north
of

in

sledding

the

Loonies
and
toonies
:
No
other
country
has
named
their
currency
with
a
funnier
name
than
these
!
One
dollar
coins
are
called
'loonies'
because
the
design
depicts
the
bird
called
Loon
,
and
two
dollar
coins
are
called
'toonies'
in
honor
of
the
one
dollar
coin
obviously
.

Montreal
is
the
second
largest
French
speaking
city
in
the
world
.
While
you
may
think
this
is
not
fun
,
it
can
be
if
you
try
to
learn
new
words
and
phrases
and
then
practice
speaking
to
the
locals
.
I
guarantee
you
will
laugh
as
you
try
not
to
yourself
.
Been

Canadians
invented
basketball
,
the
garbage
bag
,
the
paint
roller

Aren't
those
fun
?

.
Justin
Bieber
is
not
the
most
famous
Canadian
,
Justin
Trudeau
is
.
He
simply
could
with
flirting
with
the
Queen
of
England
,
and
he
can
balance
babies
with
one
hand
like
.
He
is
fun
,
handsome
,
and
humble
.
But
I
have
to
say
Justin
Bieber
was
once
the
most
followed
celebrity
on
Twitter
.

.
Winnie
The
Pooh
:
I
know
you
believed
that
Pooh
was
in
fact
Christopher
Robin's
Edward
Bear
,
who
had
been
renamed
by
the
boy
.
But
he
was
actually
renamed
after
a
black
bear
found
at
London
Zoo
called
Winnie
who
got
its
name
from
the
fact
that
its
owner
had
come
from
Winnipeg
,
Canada
.
So
we
can
imply
that
Winnie
The
Pooh
is
in
fact
,
at
least
,
part
Canadian
,
right
?

.
