Although the video below is 10 years old, we think it does a great job of quickly summarizing the importance and beauty of the Canadian Tulip Festival.

Beaver Bites

• We have no idea why anyone would decide to close one of their top attractions but that’s just what happened this past week when the Chamber of Commerce in Drumheller decided to get rid of the world’s largest dinosaur in 2029. The 25-metre-high attraction is an icon for the city and some people want to save “her”.
  
  

• We love using points to pay for flights but when programs like Air Canada’s Aeroplan decide to make some changes, it’s almost never good for the consumer. Take a look at the recent changes to the Aeroplan program.
  
  

• For those of you who live under a rock, Via Rail trains are almost always late. The Crown-owned rail service is blaming the track speeds and is turning to the courts to challenge new speed limits imposed by Canadian National Railway, which owns 97% of the tracks that Via runs on. Long story short, until passenger trains get as much respect as cargo trains, you should expect to be many hours late when riding trains, such as the Canadian.
  
  

• Architectural Digest dropped its list of the 21 most beautiful places on Earth, with Banff National Park chosen as the sole spot from Canada. These lists are ridiculous as Canada alone has many more than 21 spots that are just as beautiful as Banff.
  
  

• Trump’s hatred of Canada is driving (pun intended) the current trend of bucking travel to the USA. In February, only 2,223,408 Canadians drove into the U.S., half a million less than the previous year. Expect this number to drop much more as the year rolls on.
  
  

• Airbnb can’t catch a break. Montréal just passed a law restricting short-term rentals to operate only during summer. But wait, isn’t this the main travel season anyway?
  
  

• Visiting an airport soon? Here are five foods to avoid as you wait for your plane.
  
  

• As much as we love Canada, we also love exploring the world. If you’re looking for an exotic destination to land in, consider Greece, which just signed a mutual tourism agreement with Canada, a type of deal that could become more popular.

Just for Fun

• If you weren’t able to see the Lunar Eclipse that took place a couple of weeks ago, don’t worry! These photographers from around the world took some beautiful photos.
  
  

• The longest strike in Canadian history just wrapped up after logging in a whopping 1,411 days via the Radisson Blu in Vancouver.
