Ye, you've made some good points too. The skiing is better in the West (I'm told), but we do have a lot of smaller hills between Ottawa and eastward. I've actually got handouts from a few on my bedside table right now :o A metric -blam!-ton, in fact. Also I was really surprised to see you mention The Thousand Islands as I currently reside in Kingston (and previously in Ganonoque), haha. Actually your post was strangely, somehow accurate and I'm weirded out LOL. You might be slightly psychic.
