Australians taking the advice of their government's "Smart Traveller" web site will likely be steering clear of Canada.
That website, which is run by Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has Canada listed as a country where travellers should "exercise caution," which is the second-safest category.
Apparently our problems stem from the threat of terrorism, heavy snow, ice and forest fires that can erupt "at any time."
British Columbia, in particular, was singled out as being in an active earthquake zone and "subject to avalanches" along with Alberta.
Countries listed on the Smart Traveller website that are considered safer than Canada include Chile, South Korea and Latvia.
Canada's Foreign Affairs website which offers advice to travellers has no official warnings against Australia, and says most Canadian visitors to that country don't have any problems."
Good gosh, Canada is dangerous! Of course there are forest fires everywhere! They can erupt at any time, even in winter when there's heavy snow all over the place! And yes, there's a likely chance that we'll get buried by avalanches even on the safe little bunny slopes of the mountains! I mean golly gee, I should be dead by now.
...what the hell is an ice forest fire?
