This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A few thoughts... by ONeillMGK
Vancouver is a very nice city but I felt like I had seen it in about a day and a half. Toronto is similar - but even less interesting to my tastes.
Montreal is a great town that I would love to visit again. You could combine that with a trip to Quebec City which is beautiful. It will very much feel like a European vacation - particularly in Quebec City. Stay at the Chateau Frontenac.
Alternatively, Calgary is a serviceable city and would be fine for a nice dinner and concert. Calgary's main advantage is that it is only a few hours from Banff. It might be chilly that time of year but Banff and the surrounding national parks are spectacularly beautiful with lots to do if you are outdoorsy.
