Good stuff John, glad to hear it. Where are you headed (you have to let us all know so we can s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ give some recommendations. Enjoy the trip!

Quebec City and Montreal this (first) time around. I was hoping for the oil sands of Alberta, but the wife wanted to see castles and churches...

If your a beer guy, Quebec has a load of world class breweries. Most European/Belgian style.
When are you there? If your an electronic music guy try to make it past Mutek.

Another Canadian adventure that I love is heading into the whiteshell. Great hiking, lakes, interesting prehistoric petroform sites, black flies, mosquito... anyway, I love it!

We'll be out that way at the end of July, into Aug. Only about a week or so. Hopefully enough time to see both QC and Montreal. You know, in case Trump wins and all. We'll need a safe haven for at least four years.
