Open Google Maps. Search “Canada”.

From your couch, your car, or your bed, you’ll see the exact same thing as someone sees in Italy, Iran, or anywhere else. It's an unfathomable beast, dwarfing any neighbour to the south. Its lines of latitude pulled taut like a bowstring — until shattering into a sea of ice and stone, Canada unspooling into the Arctic.

So why, in a country this immense, do we keep circling the same few spots — Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal — when there’s so much more to be seen and experienced? 

This spanking new segment, Eh to Zed, is your digital pass into Canada’s hidden pockets and sweeping horizons. Brought to you by not just the team here at JFC, but (hopefully!) by your fellow Jack's Flight Club Travellers in every corner of the globe, too. 

To kick things off, Canada’s Deal & Content Lead Kristi wants your suggestions. Give her a hand, would ya? 

After a few years of living out of a suitcase and chasing Wi-Fi around the globe, I moved back home to Canada. And to take full advantage, I want to start exploring our country like I’ve never seen it before. Because let’s be honest — Canada is ridiculously gorgeous, and somehow I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Sure, I grew up doing the classics: Banff, Lake Louise, Waterton, the Icefields Parkway... They’re stunning, but they’re also the playlist I’ve had on repeat since childhood. I wanted something fresh.

Enter: the Kootenays…

On the suggestion of the Jack's Community, I took a week-long road trip that turned into the kind of adventure you can’t plan on Google Maps. I’ll admit, we hit a national park or two on the way from Calgary (yes, Lake Louise at sunrise is worth the hype). But the real fun was in our theme: “the murderiest motels we could find,” complete with roadside oddities and foggy hikes creepy enough to warrant a horror movie soundtrack. 

Balancing out the spooky vibes? Blissful soaks in natural hot springs and the best bagels in the west.

That trip got me hooked on the idea of crowdsourcing my adventures. Instead of chasing the “top ten” lists, I want to chase your stories. The hidden gems, weird detours, places that surprised you most. I’ll take your recommendations, hit the road, and report back.

First up: Saskatchewan.

I know, I know. Flat jokes, endless fields, etc. But there's so much more to these prairie lands.

So please, readers, head to the comments below and give me the wild, wonderful, and maybe even a little weird corners of Saskatchewan just waiting to be found!
