When you get way up here, Canada, the great white north, you see some amazing sights. The stars are brighter (with less nighttime light pollution), less cars on the road, and a peace that gives you a chance to kick back and enjoy the clear night sky. Someone in the distance is burning a couple logs on the fire, with the faint smell of s’mores wafting through the air, mixing with the scent of pine and maple. Everyone is settling in for the night and the moose are just waking up for their midnight wandering. Nights are about sitting with friends around the fire, sharing stories, and experiencing the north in a way that’s just not possible in other places. Well, perhaps it is, but you have the best hockey versus curling debates in Canada. Late June is the best time to talk about ice sports because Canadian wait through baseball, basketball and football to get back to the sports close to our hearts. From hanging out at the Tim Hortons to taking a walk around the block, there is nothing like the clear night sky, a fire, friends, and endless possibilities of adventure.
Canadians, Not Sorry About Everything
