Canada
Canada is the world's second-largest country and one of its most scenically dramatic — Banff's turquoise glacial lakes, Vancouver framed between mountains and Pacific, Quebec City's perfectly preserved French colonial core, and Toronto's multicultural energy that makes it one of the world's most liveable cities.

Vancouver is northern hemisphere, so winter (Dec–Feb) is the wettest, greyest stretch while Whistler runs its main ski season, and summer (Jun–Aug) is dry, warm, and the busiest time to visit. May, June, and September are the sweet spot — warm enough for the seawall and beaches, without July–August crowds or prices.
