Persuasive Post I Welcome to Canada!

Imagine yourself being misted by the waters of Niagara Falls, plunging into the depths below. You open your eyes to a perspective you've never experienced before. Lights, culture and festivity hangs over the setting. Your friends nudge you and convince you to come with them to the ledge. The smell of poutine strikes your senses and sends you into a world of wilderness, culture and bliss. Your friends on your left and moist hand on the right. Is this real? Wouldn't it be amazing to experience? You can experience it in Canada (Pathos). Canada is a country in the northern sect of the North

America. It covers 3.85 million square miles geographically and consists of ten provinces and three territories. Canada is home to many beautiful sights such as the Niagara Falls and the recently constructed Canada National Tower.

A trip to Canada may seem expensive and inconvenient to fly such a long distance from the East Coast, but it is not a hassle at all. Book a flight from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to the Pearson International Airport. During your stay, make sure to visit the Niagara Falls for a once in a lifetime experience!

Come during February to partake in the Winter Festival accommodations! Take pictures with Bonhomme, a symbol of happiness and content, and participate in the Ice Sculpture contest! If you are not feeling the cold atmosphere, tour through the frightful, yet jaw-dropping, At Home with Monsters walk in the Art Gallery of Ontario. Don’t miss this rare glimpse into the world of renowned filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and his cabinet of curiosities! This exhibit was influenced by the creative mind behind one of the most inventive filmmakers of our generation revealing his influences, from the Medieval era to contemporary culture, and his particular obsession with horror, fantasy and the rich heritage of the Victorian era. 

If you are going for an educational approach to the trip, make sure to add the Notre Dame Basilica Cathedral of Quebec to your itinerary! Its regal interior design and religious origins definitely appease the enthusiastic history student! It was burned by the British and the Ku Klux Clan but was reconstructed better each time! It is the perfect place for attaining peace of mind and isolating from the sounds and dissonance of civilization. 

For food connoisseurs, try the delicacies of French-Canada in Brasserie Française chez Jules of Quebec! Poutine is the indigenous food of Canada and tastes very good as well! Make sure to have a bite in Toronto! Some other mouthwatering foods include Nanaimo Bars, Buttertart and Bannock (All of which are similar to pie).
All in all, Canada is a great place to be for any aspect! Be it food, environment, or education! People assume Canada is the same as the United States, but Mike Myers (actor in Shrek and Cat in The Hat) proves them wrong, "Very good training to just be a person is growing up in Canada, like that it's boring, but if you look around the world, you can praise boring. It's a very civilized place to grow up. I'm very proud of it" (Ethos) Next time you decide to travel, choose Canada!
