Just DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES wear a Team USA hockey jersey while crossing the border

Would it even be noticed???









I mean, with heads hanging so low and all.

I think the reason for that is Canadians know they can beat the US with their eyes closed and playing on concrete.   I have to say the only Curling Olympic match was the US vs Canada Women's teams and I was amazed how good the Canadians were.

Good idea, but I do get warm receptions when I wear my Columbus Curling shirt.  I wore there at the falls last Sept.

OK, OK! The way to avoid the boder patrol is by NOT going to Canada!!! At least if you're a US resident!

Just checking to make sure this isn't a thread telling people how to avoid the border patrol.

I guess it would be OK to wear a USA womens hockey jersey, now that Canada put a 'goose egg' on them.

As of now our target is Niagara Falls, it looks like there is more to do on the Canadian side.  I would like to go to Montreal but it's 400+ miles from the falls so I don't know if that will happen.  We may have to be happy going up to Hamilton, I see where the CFL starts in July, maybe I can sneak in a Tiger-Cat game.  How difficult is it to get CFL tickets?  If it's like NFL tickets you have to sacrifice your first born to get some.

There is far more to do at the Canadian side of the falls, we usually spend the entire day there.   I've been to both sides many times.  If I never went to the American side, I might plan a stop there, the walk down to the American falls is nice and the park is nice. Plus its just minutes from the best attraction in the area, The Anchor Bar!

OK Bill or anybody whose been to the falls, give me some suggestions on lodging without breaking the bank.  We were looking at the Casino hotel on the US side (All I can think of is Cherokee but that's not right).  I have a female cousin who likes to gamble but I wouldn't want her to walk a long way to play.  If you have a favorite place on the Canadian side within safe walking distance to one of the casinos, please speak up.

Stay at the Fallsview Casino Hotel on the Canadian side,  great view of the falls.

  You have to do a small trip to the town of Niagara on the Lake, beautiful small town just about 20 miles or so away from the falls.  There is an excellent winery tour going though the area also.  Some of the best estate wines in the world come from the area.  I guarantee you will come home with at least a case of various different wines, none of them available at the LCBO or your local liquor store

Downtown Niagara Falls is a little "touristy" but the tackyness is part of the charm.

Tiger Cat tickets can be had on short notice if your not fussy about the seats.  I am a big Ti-cat fan and in a lot of people opinion the CFL is far more exciting then the NFL

Rematch coming right up!  EH-O-LETS-GO

Its going to be a good game but I think Canada may get their revenge.

Which would make them even, one game apiece. Need a rubber. To bad one had a different color medal!!

Watching the game and seeing the US tie it with 24 seconds to go I said to my wife:

"I wonder how many people just had a heart attack in Canada!".


Let them have the gold in their signature game (heck, they act like they invented it). We'll try to get even in basketball or baseball lol.

[In Canada]

It is our game, just like baseball is to an American.  Yes I agree some folks around here can get really out of sorts when it comes to hockey.  I look at it this way.  Just think of what an American would say if the Canadians beat them at the World Baseball Classic, my God some of you all would have it right up there with armageddon.  That's kind of how we think about it.  

  Canada has a population of 33 million, the State of California has more people then that.  Americas day will come, it has to, just based on population and an improving minor hockey system.

For now


GO CANADA

I will now go back to not liking Cindy Crosby

...but Naismith invented basketball on US soil so we consider it ours and besides, he only did it because he got tired of hockey so he moved to the US to come up with something better.

Montreal-stayed there for 2 weeks visiting, was ok with my no french capability, went to hockey game, was cool,  pretty much for speaking french, if you say merci, bonjour etc. then switch to english everybody i met was pretty good with english

Quebec City-stayed there for 2 days, went to the citadel and toured the old city, very nice, more friendly than montreal. went to montmorecy falls which was pretty impressive as well.

Niagara Falls is a plus to see any time of year

Vancouver, or Victoria would be nice

Alberta-Waterton Park, Banff Park, Lake louise or columbia Ice Fields, Jasper is nice too.

Winnipeg was flooded last time i went so didnt stop

[dasno]

I am heading to St. Johns and Halifax in Sept.  Any recommendations in these areas?
