Canada, from sea to sea to sea, and also to that big country down south of us. We're friendly and our country is beautiful. Glad to show it to you on Canada Travel at Skiponover.com, by Jill Browne.

Niagara Falls and Canadian - American Rivalry

Thanks to Flickr.com user abmaac for sharing this photo of the American side of Niagara Falls in winter. Beautiful lights on the ice, abmaac.

American Falls (Niagara Falls) by Flickr user abmaac



I'm sorry to be a rabble rouser but this photo was the first hit on a search I did for "canada" and the irony of something called "American Falls" being on the top of the pile must mean something!

For the record:

1. The Canadian Niagara Falls are bigger and better than the American ones.

2. Laura Secord heroically walked her cow through American lines to singlehandedly save the day for Britain near here, before going on 100 years later to establish a national chain of candy stores.

3. War of 1812: Canada (Britain) 1, US 0.

All in good fun!

Happy New Year, everyone.
