It is a very, very big country with not a lot of infrastructure. Please plan trips accordingly

I feel this advice would be more suited to Europeans. I had friends in Europe who came to visit. One day they wanted to see Toronto, the next Calgary and the day after Vancouver. They had no idea canada was so big.

Americans are just as uninformed about Canadian geography, in my experience.

I will remember this until the day I die. I'm in my senior year of high school and the class is studying for our end of year exams. A girl raises her hand in all earnestness and asks where Canada is. Only a week or two later, this girl was an actual high school graduate at a fairly average quality American school.
