If you have twitter then look up Martin Bates, he lives over there but is a MLF.
@MackeminGlasgow was there recently too, I think.

Summer will be Baseball season , i went to see the blue jays when i was there .
Was 20 years ago when i was last there but remember some of the districts , little italy , china town etc were decent for a quiet mooch about . Think the hockey hall of fame is still there. Should be easy enough to get out to the lake for some beach stuff.
Yeah I follow him on Twitter, He's a MLF.
I was there in 2019, Mrs has some relatives over there. Absolutely loved it.
Blue Jays game was a good day out. Niagra definitely worth seeing, went on the boat right up to them and the sound is deafening.
Had a tremendous seafood platter in the CN tower restaurant.
We did a few days in Montreal after Toronto, cycling round the F1 track was a great experience.
Hi, yeah my family are massive blue jays fans over there and sunderland fans, they were up at 745am for the derby, gonna take a load of sunderland tops over for them, thanks for the advice.
Cheers for the advice marra.
Niagara is more tacky than Blackpool!
It takes 2+ hours to drive anywhere and the local drivers in Toronto are nuts.
Don’t stop anywhere for long in the countryside or the Amish might attack you. They do NOT like invasive tourists.
The best things about Ontario are the black squirrels and the chipmunks.
Edit: there is a good speed boat experience though on some big rapids.

Walk from one end of Yonge Street to the other.
Niagra on the lake was canny and a visit to the 6 nations reservation.
Discovered red indians were really red.

50% Canada 50% UK though I may be going to another country this year for a while,all depends.
We visited this place - it recreates life in 1914, when all the red indians had been sent packing.

This is the jet boat thing at queenston near niagara.

You could do it in a full day with plenty of stops at Timmies along the way.
Which part of Ontario your family live Wingnut?

I'll hop in the car and drive four days to say hello.
just kidding, but it is a big country.
No hockey in July - never call it ice hockey by the way - just hockey. Bit like asking someone in Sunderland when the soccer match is being played.
But the Blue Jays will be playing. Baseball is lots of fun. Sit in the bleechers with a few beers.
Have fun. Great country. Especially the Western bit.

Hi, me aunty lives in town called Thornton, cousins live in Barrie and Bay point.
We were over there last year. In a different life I'd have emigrated, it's fantastic. We hired a car which was a big help, was fine to drive though some freeways were scarily big. Enjoy.

They’re big fcukers aren’t they!
We were calling them 'Goth squirrels'.
