Next summer me and some of my friends are going on a road trip to canada.

What i would like to know is, what is a good city to go to, to have fun and get wasted and stuff like that?

We currently live in Wisconsin, and wouldnt want to travel too far, but anyway, my cities i had in mind so far are Toronto, Regina, or Winnipeg.

Any suggestions.

Vancouver is an awesome place for a trip, Toronto is cool, but dirty and crimey.

Why anyone would go to Regina is beyond me, it may rhyme with happy times, but, there's nothing there, do Old Quebec or Montreal instead.

Definitely Winnipeg. Wide variety of things to do and a great place to spend time in the summer months. Also, it isn't as "crowded" as other places like Toronto, Vancouver or Edmonton.

Of the three you mentioned, definitely Toronto. It's huge and there's tons of things to do and places to see. Regina and Winnipeg are actually the two biggest crime capitals of the country.

Just get in a car and drive as far north as you can. When you hit water, stop.

I would suggest somewhere in the Rockies (aka British Columbia), but that may be straying a bit far from Wisconsin.

Definately Montreal if you want to party/get wasted etc.

I've spent practically my entire life in Winnipeg and the worst "crime" I've seen committed is speeding and running red lights. :P

There are tons of great and well-hidden tourist destinations all around Manitoba, people just hardly ever find them (Riding Mountain National Park and Carberry Desert (yes, we have a desert in Manitoba :3) being a couple of the best).

The hell is that question? If you go to Toronto, the largest segment of the population with have chinese accents :D

But seriously, there are a ton of accents in Canada, and barely anyone in Toronto speaks french, it's an english/mandarin city really.

They speak mostly english in Montreal as well.

Canada is rather large. Larger than the USA, I'm sure you can see how a massive land can yield many many different accents.

People living in Ontario usually dont have a accent (unless they moved to the Country, but that applies anywhere) if you want accents you can try Quebec and Newfoundland.

The Canadian Dollar is worth more than an American Dollar. Gas prices are more expensive per 4L (1 Gallon) compared to in the States.

Montreal, it's party central. Montreal is famous for it's nightlife, best place to go if you wanna party. particularly Crescent, Saint-Laurent or Saint-Cathering streets downtown. there are like 3 bars/pubs/clubs per block, open til 3 am and 18 is the drinking age.

Alright, now how old do you have to be to stay at a hotel, and to buy alcohol related products.

I must say, Canada sounds better than the US.

I was born in Ontario, but have lived in BC most my life..... I would definatly reccomend Vancouver, Victoria or Kelowna!

Also please dont walk around saying "Ehhhhh" or "abooooooooot" , thinking that all Canadians talk like that :P

Ontario is also nice in some spots, only place in Canada i dont really like is Alberta, and thats mainly just because of how cold it is and because there are alot of hicks there hehe:P
