If you find yourself strolling through Toronto’s popular PATH keep your eye(s) open for the Metro Hall entrance. That’s the area in which you will find this large mural. What you make of it is up to you. That’s how art works, people.

What is the PATH? It’s 17 miles of underground tunnels filled with shopping, entertainment and things to do — and best of all, heat. Going underground during the winter makes Toronto the groundhog of metropolitan markets, and also pretty smart.

I’m having a difficult time figuring out what the angel in this public mural is doing to the man (soldier?), but I know it looks awesome.

This piece of art is located near Waterfront Station in the Gastown area of Vancouver, BC. Gastown is named after “Gassy” Jack Deighton, which as far as nicknames go, kind of stinks. But apparently he was well thought of, hence Gastown.

The area is known for fashion, boutiques, touristy stuff and its nightlife. None of which, as far as I can tell, are gas-related.

If you’re ever driving through Gravenhurst, Ontario and you and 40 of your friends need to sit a spell… you’re in luck.

Don’t worry, America, this giant chair is big enough for the biggest butts. Because Canada cares.

This photo was taken in Saanichton, British Columbia in Canada — just north of Washington in the Puget Sound area. You don’t have to drive (ferry) that far for a great pumpkin, there are farms and patches all over the place. Stop at your leisure. Take the kids.
