 |
|
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.
Is this ignorance about Canada or what?
