About Canada Coast to Coast
Canada runs five and a half time zones, from the fog and fishing wharves of Newfoundland to the rain-soaked coast of British Columbia. In between you get the stone streets of old Quebec City, wheat fields that go on until the sky takes over, and the Rockies standing up out of the plain like a wall. It's a country best seen slowly, preferably with a thermos of something hot and a good map on the seat beside you.
