redtomatoman Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Watched the blue jays beat up the rays today. Visited Bellwoods and Mill St breweries. I have really liked Canada so far. Toronto is a chill city. Real quiet for a city. Have noticed lots of DJ here. Not sure what we're doing tomorrow. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtomatoman Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks. I expected to hear more hosers and Eh's. Got my first Eh at the baseball game yesterday. Beautiful weather. Going to explore more of Toronto today. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Take a McDonalds and combine it with a Dunkin Donuts. Tim Horton's. When I worked in Olds, Alberta several years ago, I used stop by Tim Hortons and get a dozen donuts for the guys at work. It was OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Today was really great. Kensington market was really cool. 5 breweries in 3 days was a feat. People here are quite nice. Really like my Canada experience. Peace. Devin Riches and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolly Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 5 breweries in 3 hours would be a feat...... In Canada a feat would be 0.3048000 metres. Devin Riches, BrianS, jkeaton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hope you enjoyed the Toronto traffic... there's nothing quite like it anywhere. Wave as you go thru Windsor on your way to Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 5 breweries in 3 hours would be a feat...... Well. . . we have been walking. Getting to a baseball game, the market, the distillery district, chinatown, and all 5 breweries was a feat for us. Fun though, eh.

B4ZINGA Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Avoid the 407 on the way to Detroit... expensive tollway. I take the 401 (or 403 depending on where you are) to 402 and across the Blue Water Bridge between Port Huron and Sarnia to get back into Michigan, then I-94 down to my house in Metro Detroit. Nice view on the 402 with large wind farms. Then on I-94 there is a sign stating a prison is nearby and you should not pick up hitchhikers, always a hoot. I've visited the area twice (Oakville, Vaughan) for work and the "eh's" and "oot's" were endless... while Journey's were suspiciously rare. And their Sunfires and Jettas look weird in the back. And apparently Candian's like getting hosed by buying Civics branded as Acuras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Riches Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Did you by any chance catch any of the Pan-Am games going on in the GTA? I'm from Hamilton, but we went on a road trip with the family up to Kingston and Ottawa. Drove back on Sunday just as the games were ending. Traffic sucked! The only good thing I had out of the bad traffic was the fact that I was in my new Journey! rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 No Pan Am games. Just baseball, beers, and brats. Peace. Devin Riches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey_SeXT Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I've visited the area twice (Oakville, Vaughan) for work and the "eh's" and "oot's" were endless... while Journey's were suspiciously rare. And their Sunfires and Jettas look weird in the back. And apparently Candian's like getting hosed by buying Civics branded as Acuras. Hmm, I find that hard to believe as both areas are quite affluent...actually, Oakville I believe is the richest town in North America and Vaughan is highly populated with an immigrant community. Maybe I don't notice it because I live here but I am almost positive that in Oakville and Vaughan or in the entire GTA you are not going to get the Bob and Doug McKenzie talk. Toronto is a highly diverse population with many ethnicities so many will have accents but not the Canadian you are used to hearing on TV.

We always enjoy having our southern U.S. neigbours/neighbors visiting us. As an FYI for our U.S. friends our dollar sucks right now at about 76 cents to the American dollar so your money will take you a little further out here now.
