  • It's sad to call this a tourist trap..but still. Last time i checked they charged 50$ canadian for the ride.. I find it's a bit expensive. You'll stroll around the old port with a few explanatory stops, yet they made a 'survey' and found a few drivers just babble on telling tourists a bunch of nonsense. (ie: bad dates, bad names, inventing events, etc..)

    BUT if you feel a bit romantic, it might be nice

  • Once again..don't buy anything that says 'authentic inuit, Quebec or indian' art because it's very likely that it's not. And PLEASE stop buying those silly looking hats! Nobody wears them exept tourists and even thought killing racoons and foxes to make hats seemed like a great idea 200 years ago we're past that stage now. And NO we don't have igloos, polar bears, live in wood houses and I've NEVER seen a Mountie. (Actually..I saw one this year at Canada day..looked ike a fool to me walking around with his costume, waving to every woman like if he was a star or something..)
    :S

     Maybe if you actually visit a native territory you would see what we wear. We wear turtles and bears and wolves on our clothes. fashion changes , but stereotypes don't. Seems ignorant to think that a white person would have actual native articles.
