Speaking of Saskatchewan, there are many weird and unusual places to visit in the prairies province. From snake pits to sand dunes, this underrated province has a lot of cool things to see.

So without further ado, enjoy the 164th edition of the Weekly Goose.

  • As if Banff needs even more hype, it was just named one of the world’s most beautiful small towns.

  • It’s always kind of cool to see what people buy as souvenirs from your own country and these are some of the must-have souvenirs from the Canada Pavilion in EPCOT.

  • Toronto is getting a massive concert venue this spring with the opening of the Budweiser Stage. There are already a lot of big names booked in, including Alanis Morissette, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bush, Avril Lavigne, and more.

  • Just like tourism, we love supporting Canadian TV shows and movies, and it looks like Blackberry (a great movie for those wanting insight into one of Canada’s most famous companies) and Little Bird (a great series about the Sixties Coop) are up for many awards. Here is the full list of nominations for the Canadian Screen Awards.

  • Riding the gondola at Whistler is a must-do for many tourists but getting stuck on it for three hours is usually not part of the experience.

  • Air Canada and WestJet are raising baggage fees.

  • Visiting Vancouver Island soon? 200 mini earthquakes have been detected off Vancouver Island in one hour. Scientists say it's a sign that a deepsea magma eruption will occur in the Pacific Ocean in as soon as a few weeks.
