Travelling in Canada, feat. Rick Mercer

When Canada gets cold, Canadians tend to prefer places where the sun shines and the air doesn't hurt your face. Unfortunately, that desire for a winter escape usually means crossing the border.

But what if everything you wanted out of a vacation was right here in your own country? What if we made an effort to visit the parts of our country we know nothing about? Our guest is something of an expert in that department. In 15 years Rick Mercer travelled to over 500 places in Canada for his show, The Rick Mercer Report, and he says we could all benefit from seeing more of our land.
