I agree that certain places in Vancouver one would try to avoid, but "nothing to look at"! In an unofficial poll many Canadians voted the Prairie landscape as one of the seven wonders of Canada, along with the Rockies, Cape Breton, the Gaspe, etc. And the Canadian shield, tho' extensive if you are driving the Trans Canada Highway, is beautiful ... pre-Cambrian rock, studded with lakes (full of potable water once you get out of Southern Ontario). And the North ... good if you are healthy and crave solitude and the great, great outdoors. Literally breathtaking. Nowhere else like it on the planet. Just don't bug the bears, or try to play with the cubs if mamma is around.
