It's funny, because having grown up near the Great Lakes, the wide open land of the prairies and tundra appeal to me in a way that the geography of S. Ontario just doesn't. I like to see the horizon, and you just can't do that here, unless you're right on one of the lakes.

You take someone who grew up on the prairies and drop them in the mountains and they feel claustrophobic and constrained. I visit SK/MB and feel very uncomfortable because I can't ge tthe lay of the land without altitude.

We benefit & suffer from our infinite adaptability.
