So, with YOUR info in mind... Where is the best place to holiday/vacation?
Depends what you want, I've only been to 5 provinces so far. Haven't been out west or west of Ontario.

Niagara Falls / Toronto / Ontario in general is probably where there is the best amount of stuff to do. Toronto is a great city to visit! CN Tower is pretty impressive, the Roger's Center is a great stadium to see. Then you have the Eaton Center which is a huge shopping centre which goes under the city. The Falls (about an hour away) are amazing! (just got back from a trip there myself, will get some pics up soon)

Montreal and Quebec city in Quebec are both nice, mostly french but they pretty often know english. Quebec city has some really nice old buildings etc. Montreal has great nightlife (most cities over here seem to though)

P.E.I. (Prince Edward Island) Is like a giant Golf resort / vacation zone. I don't like it much myself pretty boring area really. Unless you want to play golf, not much shopping or anything else to see. The bridge from New Brunswick to P.E.I. is pretty impressive though.

Nova Scotia (New Scotland) Really is like Scotland lots of scenery and it always seems to be raining. I've only been to Halifax really which is pretty big city, it is a navy port so you can see some good boats down there. There is also a Maritime History Museum there aswell with some cool stuff and also some history of the Halifax Explosion (A large boat exploded and pretty much wiped the city off the map) There is also good night life down there, and the Alexander Keiths brewery which is pretty good.

I'm in New Brunswick which is real nice, Moncton (near me) Is the biggest city. Not a bad city but not the most exciting either. There is a big car show next week for all the old muscle cars/rods etc which is always good. Good nightlife again. Other than that, just the general kind of things around here. Mall, bars, clubs, good restaraunts (very rare to have a bad meal here!) There is a few other things to see, pretty good zoo at magnetic hill (also a big concert site)

I personally would say souther Ontario for the most stuff to do, but that is just from my experience.

A friend of mine from England has visited Saskatoon and Vancouver and he said Saskatoon was great, and the Island of Vanouver was nice but he didn't enjoy it as much.

Hope that helps
