The Middle Of Nowhere: The Saskatoon Railway Station

The second stop on VIA Rail's "The Canadian" where we got to hop out of the train and stretch our legs was the city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan. I wish I could tell you that on this brief stop in the Prairies, there was something worth seeing, but this railway station was in the middle of nowhere and nowhere near downtown. Regardless, I captured some pictures that I will share with you

Vancouver Lookout Media Gallery + Gastown Steam Clock

One of the things you can do in Vancouver is to go up to the Vancouver Lookout to get 360-degree views of Vancouver and the surrounding area. I believe admission was around $21 plus tax, which was not too bad. Right off the bat, I forgot to get a picture of the actual Vancouver Lookout tower up close, but you will see it in another upcoming Vancouver post, so here is a generic downtown Vancouver picture.

Meandering Around Granville Island In Vancouver

Last March was the first time I ever flew out to the west coast of Canada, and there were other things that I did that were not going to football matches or going to high-priced attractions. I want to talk about the other things I did in the very short time that I had here. I stayed in downtown Vancouver for two nights, and downtown Vancouver did not feel all that different than downtown Toronto, with the high-rise condominiums, gentrified shops, and odd people. Regardless, on the morning of the first day when we got to the hotel, we went to Granville Island for some food and shopping.

An Impromptu Trip To The Canadian Classique

Last week, I went to a Toronto FC match, and this was the first time I went to a Toronto FC match since before the pandemic. Specifically, I went to the Canadian Championship match against the Montreal Impact CF Montreal. I can already hear people ask me why I would go to a Toronto FC match. "I thought you were done with Toronto FC!" some would say. That is true for now, but permit me to explain myself.

When You Feel The Sting Of Being Left Out

I need to go back into my mental health bag for this blog post, and I want to talk about a feeling that I had been occasionally having that gives me great grief on some nights. I would normally talk about this with my therapist, but because I do not want to pay the $160 for an hour long session, and no one else would want to hear about my problems for free, I am going to talk about it here on this blog post. Strap yourself in, because this is going to be a bumpy one.
