I've been, in fact been to Canada several times. Really nice place, if you've never been to Canada before you might be taken aback as to how friendly people are. It took me a while to get used to it, but they are just genuinely friendly people.
The CN tower is a good place to go, and go on the glass floor, that's rather cool, my missus was scared of that.
Lots of good shops and restaraunts etc.
We went out to Niagra Falls on a trip one day. That is awesome. If you can get to go, do it. Again though, it's not what you would expect, I always thought it would be in the middle of nowhere, but there's a town on the Canadian side.
We went to Niagra on the Lake too, which is literally like stepping back in time.
Just been to Winnipeg and Churchill, and been to Banff and Vancouver before. Vancouver is a very cool place.
I'd definitely emigrate or retire to Canada, it's just a much more laid back lifestyle than the work yourself to death attitude and no-one will give a toss attitude of this country.

Been couple times mate. It's just like Vancouver in many ways. Canada is weird in that you can travel THOUSANDS of miles and it's so similar.
It's a bit colder. A bit warmer. More Frenchists and gang wannabees. You'll find it's quite familiar just no mountains, no hippies and no communists compared to here.

I loved Toronto. We spent 4nights there and then 4nights at Niagara Falls. Id deffo go back.
Canadians are such nice people, it makes you feel a little ashamed of how rude Brits are these days.
We went to the CN Tower twice (once at night time), took a guided tour of the city, went in the Parliament buildings for Ontario, went to the icy hockey hall of fame museum, watched a Monter Truck show, went to the Air Canada stadium, loads of shops and malls, outdoor skating rinks. Even just walking round you see some fab things- a skyscraper with gold-plated windows, steaming grids, live music at night etc etc. Theres loads Ive forgotten, it was 4yrs ago. We never even got out of downtown Toronto, the place is massive.
