Pros: A pleasant traveling experience. Cons: It would be good if Canada could invest in the rail network to encourage people off the roads (eg the 401 !). Let's make Canada even greater!! PS: I live in the UK. My son is at the University of Waterloo. My visit was to see him and we took a trip into Toronto on Thanksgiving.
