  • Niagara Falls--Worth The Trip?  By : Lila Kahn
    For years Niagara Falls has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States and Canada. Visitors from abroad and North America cannot seem to shake their desire to visit this dramatic aquatic spectacle. But why exactly? The falls are not particularly convenient to any major U.S. city (apologies to Buffalo), which means visitors to the US will need at least two days to fit in a visit to Niagara. Furthermore besides the actual falls themselves, there is l...

  • Toronto Travel Tips  By : Sharon Stajda
    One of my favorite vacation spots is Toronto, Canada. Coming from the city of Detroit, it is only about three and half hours away. It is a straight shot up the 401 highway once your cross the border in Detroit.

    Toronto has often been called the New York City of Canada. I think it lives up to this comparison. However, Toronto is much cleaner and safer than New York City. I have been amazed at how clean the city is for such a large population. I have also never felt in dange...

  • City of Toronto - Canada's socialist microcosm  By : John Berger
    All big cities in Canada and Europe suffer from the same socialist rot and Marxist malaise and posturing. Toronto as the epi-center of the country is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the glorious and not-so democratic people’s republic. Run by socialists, suffering from over-taxation and debt, the city and its 30% of citizens that care to vote is heading into hard times. Crime is up, homelessness is rampant and the city is dirty – all thanks to socialist compassion. It is not so much a mode
