I've barely scratched the surface of Canada. My time there was crossing the border when I lived in the US to visit the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I remember the splendour and wonder of the falls, but I am no longer confident on how much else I remember vs how much I've absorbed from its many presences on TV and film.
