Things to Do in Canada 148

November 29, 2023

Good morning!

Did you know? Quebec’s Winter Carnival is the world’s oldest Winter Carnival, the largest Winter Carnival in the Western hemisphere, and it attracts more than one million visitors each year!

After years of wanting to go, we finally made it happen in 2020, literally weeks before the world went into lockdown. While it happened to also be one of the coldest winters ever, it was such a spectacular time and a Canadian Bucket List experience if there ever was one.

So, in the 148th edition of the Weekly Goose, you’ll find travel guides for the Winter Carnival and Quebec City, a video about our experience, and more!

  • Many of us have had our luggage lost but imagine the heartache when that luggage is valued at $24,000,000. That’s what happened when Air Canada lost the baggage of Brink’s. At the same time, how on Earth do you plan to ship that much gold and cash without getting insurance or telling the airline what it is?

  • Remember the Quebec Nordiques? While the Phoenix Coyotes won’t be moving to the historic city anytime soon, the Québec government is willing to spend up to $7 million to bring two pre-season NHL hockey games to Québec City soon.

  • Surprise or no surprise? Canadian airlines have ranked last in on-time arrivals in North America.

  • It seems like everyone wants in on the subscription model these days. This includes major ski resort conglomerates across Canada and the United States. While these passes can offer great value for those who go often, it also means daily lift tickets are getting expensive for everyone else.

  • Would you go on a 3-year cruise around the world? It turns out many people jumped at the chance, which required potentially selling or renting out their homes, among many other things. But then one week before departure, it all got cancelled.

  • The Athabasca Glacier is one of the most popular attractions in Alberta, but now it has also become the training ground for NASA’s new space-exploring robo-snake.
