Does Southern Ontario impress a lot of British tourists?
I just came back from driving through Windsor, Dresden, London, Stratford, Shakespeare, Cambridge, Waterloo, Guelph, ONTARIO. What a nice area, TOTALLY underadvertised. These places are beautiful and quaint.
I was REALLY impressed with London and Stratford (Ontario not England). It was strikingly similar to England, with pubs and antique shops, treasures, old book stores, theatre.
You can call Williamsburg, Virginia virtual England. You can call Massachusetts virtual England. You can call parts of the South virtual England.
But of all the footprints of old victorian England in the Americas, the most intellectual replication of English life and culture seems to be what you see out in Southern Ontario.
What do Canadians think about this similarity?
Imitation is the best form of compliment and when it is done with towns and cities, it is also a long lasting compliment. Parts of Canada, particularly in Ontario and Quebec have complimented our two founding nations very nicely and in a very ongoing way.
