Happy Canada Day!
I've only been to Canada three times:
The first time was with my family on a trip to Niagara Falls. This trip was noteworthy for the Station Wagon we rented with the weird mushroom smell and my older brother dangerously speeding (so much that the speedometer went "beneath the dashboard"). While in Niagara Falls, US, we decided to briefly jump over to the Canadian side and see the falls from that side too.
The second time was my 2007 visit to Jasper, Banff and Waterton Parks in Canada with My Friends The Olsons™.
The third time was just this past April on my own personal trip that led me to Thunder Bay.

I just got back from a 4 year Army tour in Germany, home of the No Speed limit Autobahn. It was my first real drive and I utterly forgot where I was. I simply was driving at "Comfortable" speed. Mom woke up, looked around and asked how fast I was going? I looked down, and the needle went below 120 so I said "I dunno" She told me to get the needle down, so I did. I put it back down below the dashboard.
Paul, dozing in the back wakes up and says "There is a Cop" Where? "Back there" In the distance maybe 5 miles behind was a Cruiser franticly trying to catch up, lights flashing. So I did the only natural thing to do.
Took a off ramp at 60 miles an hour and drove through a quaint Upper New York town, got back on the highway and resumed the trip.
