They'd actually wave and smile at you. Here in Halifax, you're dead meat in a situation like that - as in roadkill. 
As for Yellowknife, I've never been but I've always wanted to go. I had family up there and saw a prehistoric 8mm video of the countryside once and it looked gorgeous.
Being born and raised in Northern Ontario I can verify the voracious nature of the mosquito and blackfly. Very nasty critters indeed. |
Yes, Charlottetown is a lovely place indeed. I couldn't believe how many restaurants there were in such a small city. We nearly got to try them all before moving away, but missed out on a handful.
By the way, Halifax is one of the cities I lived in. Twice in fact. I worked in one of the towers at Purdy's Wharf and frequently went for walks on the waterfront boardwalk early in the morning before starting work. What a nice memory!
