Ditch the map of Toronto.
Get a map of Canada (you know, everthing else outside of Trana..).
Look towards the east (far right side of the map if you are holding it correctly).
You will find a piece of land that borders the water that looks like a Moosehead - that would be Nova Scotia.
Track west across the Bay of Fundy and the next piece of land (should) be New Brunswick:
- the home of the Bard,
- Canada's only officially bilingual province,
- the home of the best salmon fishing on the continent,
- the Picture Province,
- home of the world's longest covered bridge (Hartland - 390 metres ( 1,282 feet )),
- where ice cream cones were invented (Sussex),
- the home of the largest tidal whirlpool in the Western Hemisphere (off Deer Island -it's called the Old Sow),
- home of the best cymbals in the world (Meductic),
- home to tousans and tousans Acadians,
- some of the best sand beaches and warmest water in Canada,
- the home of CFB Gagetown and the Combat Training Centre,
- the home of the plaid shirt/track suit formal wear ensemble,
- the home of the world highest tides,
- the home of the Reversing Falls,
- the home of Ganongs Chocolates (St. Stephen),
- the home of the worlds biggest axe (Nackawic - 15 metres ( 50 feet ) high),
- the home of 26,000 Irving gas stations,
- the home of the world's largest lobster (Shediac),
- the home of millionaire crab fishermen who collect UIC,
- the home of mobile speed bumps (moose),
- the most heavily armed place on earth (during hunting season),
- home of Wild Bill and company,and
- lots and lots of friggin trees!

You would benefit from a visit to this wonderful province, or any other trip outa Hogtown...
