    Well, it’s an armpit with gorgeous parks. You’ve got Banff, Jasper, and part of Glacier, that’s pretty awesome!

      Fair. The armpittines is due to a small percentage of really weird people and their propensity to be simultaneously ignorant and outspoken. Sad that they affect policy and people’s lives.

      The place itself is breathtaking. Though in fairness, I’ve moved from there to Vancouver Island and it’s kind of been eclipsed by a few orders of magnitude.

      Same in America unfortunately. I love camping but there are always confederate flags when driving to the state parks.

        Eh, most of those are just idiots who tend to keep to themselves anyway. Just ignore it and consider filling up gas/electricity in one of the larger cities in the region.

        But yeah, plenty of rednecks throughout the rural areas…
