Well, here we are, at the end of the Canadian tour. Saving the best for last. Trying not to be completely biased at all, I would have to say that Vancouver is the best city, not only in Canada, but in the world. This is backed up by the city’s consistent rankings near the top […]
Serving as a staging point for large-scale oil sands projects that occur in northern Alberta, Edmonton is the northernmost North American city with over million in population. It is mostly known for the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping mall in North America, and for being the city where Wayne Gretzky became a hockey legend. […]
Forbes Magazine ranked Calgary as the world’s cleanest city in 2007, while Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked the city as the world’s first-placed eco-city for 2010. Some pretty high accolades for a city that was relatively unknown on the world stage until it hosted the Winter Olympics in 1988. Since then, Calgary has created […]
Eddie Vedder said that Saskatoon had a real poetic and magical name last time Pearl Jam played here in 2005. Toon town is what this place is called and Toon towners are the people that live here. Sounds pretty magical to me. And if Eddie Vedder said it, it must be true. Thanks to my […]
At approximately 2000kms, the journey to Winnipeg will be the longest journey of this tour and, if you’re driving from Hamilton, the quickest way distance-wise is actually crossing back over to the US and heading up through Wisconsin and Minnesota.

While Hamilton sits in the most densely populated area of the country, Southern Ontario, it is sometimes forgotten about and often misunderstood. One might consider Hamilton a dump and recommend that you spend the day in nearby Toronto or Niagra Falls instead but, with help from local Christine Hamilton (no relations) and former local Paola […]
The capital of Canada is not Toronto or Montreal, but a city that sits in between them geographically, Ottawa. Fittingly, Ottawa is a storehouse of national history and stately architecture that attracts millions of visitors every year including some big name bands. Thanks to Steve Miles, James Hethey and keeponrockin on the Pearl Jam message […]
Toronto is not only the largest city in the country, it is also one of the most dynamic. Sometimes known as the center of the universe, Toronto is the financial and commercial centre of Canada and offers fine art museums, suave cafe-bars, and luxury stores. And while Montreal is rich on culture and history, Toronto […]
Montreal is the second largest city in Canada. It’s official language is French but, being a large international city, everyone speaks English as well – more or less. With the French influence, the province of Quebec has a style closer to Europe than that of North America. But Montreal is more North American than the […]
May 28, 2011 Pearl Jam will be touring Canada again this September, exactly six years after the last journey that brought on so many memories and good times. That trip was where it all started. That was when we took the
