If ever there was 'great TV' about a great country, then this is it. Love to see you one day! John

    Best of luck Rick and everyone involved with your show. You did a great job!

If Canada Tourism doesn't have you on the payroll, they should! Thanks for the years and years of amazing TV!

    I have been lucky enough to visit every Province in Canada, except Newfoundland, and I still need to see the Territories, but the.......scope of this nation, the sheer brilliance of the scenery, the incredible variety of biomes we have to see makes traveling in Canada some of my most treasured memories!
    And I still have memories to make, thousands of kilometers of beauty to see, and new friends to meet!
    If you haven't seen much of Canada outside of your home region, you OWE it to yourself, and to your family to see what our home and native land has to offer!

    @thrillhouse_vanhouten 6 лет назад

    I couldn't agree more. There's absolutely nothing in the world like a trip across Canada. To anyone reading this: you can live your whole life all over Canada, and still never even come close to seeing all it has to offer. I'll never forget entering the Rockies after driving for three straight days towards the flat horizon line in the prairies. Canada is an impossibly beautiful country, with so much open space that it's a crime we fly to other countries on vacation. This is a fitting end to the hundreds of alley rants Rick's recorded over the years. Thank you for everything, Rick :) You've done more to make me proud of where I came from than I'd like to admit, and I promise I'll help pass that pride on to others in the future. Good luck and godspeed, old friend.

    For my parent's 30th wedding anniversary in 2016 they wanted to do a family trip with my siblings and I. We debated for 5 years leading up to it where we should go. What we should do. We decided to skip Greece, skip the Caribbean and instead go west. Go back to Alberta where my parents had once lived and where I was born. We left when I was four and, more than 20 years later, we returned to the beautiful mountains. It was May, it was still snowing but it was beautiful. Canada is a beautiful place. I want to explore all of it!

    Have you checked VIA ticket costs these days? Priced for international luxury tourists.

    This is the best god damn ad Canadian Tourism has ever put out. I know what I'm doing next winter.

    In June I'm going on my third trip to St. John's, Newfoundland. A month later I'm going on my first trip to Victoria and Vancouver. In September I'm spending a week at a cottage in Muskoka, and somewhere in between I'm hoping to get back to Ottawa to see some of the new museums there. Yes, Canada is amazing!
