Michelin Green Guide CanadaFrom the Michelin Green Guides series. Canada captivates: whether its salty-aired seaports, historic trading posts, dusty cattle towns, soaring mountain tops, frenetic hockey rinks, stately mounted police or trendy ethnic restaurants, the country is a charmer, a magnet for variety-seekers. A land of fantastic feats: the first crossing of the continent on foot, a transcontinental railway over granite rock and mountain range, 1,500 miles of highway through swamp and muskeg in nine months, an 8-mile sea bridge built to withstand winter ice. A checkered past: the centuries-old Hudson's Bay Company, Acadian Deportation, the Seven Years' War, the Plains of Abraham, Canadian Confederation and the Klondike Stampede. A land of immigrants, invited and welcomed. A colorful present: flourishing Haida arts, First Nations' powwows, the Toronto Blue Jays, Winnipeg Ballet, Montreal Jazz Fest and Cirque du Soleil, the Molson Indy and North America's second largest Chinatown. Renowned as the world's peace keepers. A nation of enterprise: the first insulin, Cunard shipping, kayaks and Ski-Doos, film capitals Toronto and Vancouver, NASDAQ in Montreal, Hydro- Québec, PEI potatoes and Alberta beef. Canada offers a cornucopia of cultures, landscapes and heritage. Savor cedar-plank salmon or Acadian rappie pie, observe Coast Salish dancing, herd cattle with Cariboo cowboys, walk on a glacier in the Canadian Rockies, shop for native crafts, watch Parliament in action, or pan for gold in the Yukon. Canada's doors are always open. Accept the invitation-and discover all that lies within. Regularly: $21.95 Now: $17.56 Save $4.39 (20%) MG1732 Michelin Green Guide Canada $17.56
