Newbie introductions

Well depending on where you are I cant imagine that the provinces of canada are widely taught and they are certainly refferred to much less then the States in popular media. I can tell you that for me personally I know many major cities in europe and some of lesser size on account of my love of war history but I could not tell you if european countries are divided in the same way (into states or regions) much less the names of said locations. It is a area which i hope to become more knowledgeble of this summer. On the road to Wacken this year my brother and myself are spending 3 weeks working our way there from romania

I had a look at the wiki just now and realised I didn't know the northern 3 provinces.
But I guess that's because there isn't much to do around there? I mean, I guess there's like 5 people living there?

I ofcourse mean territories, not provinces.

but my guesstimation of 5 people is about correct right?

The territory capitals have between 10 and 20 thousand people each (Iqaluit less than 10k) but for the entirety of the 3 territories I would say there is less than 100,000 people which is still not a lot when you consider the square kilometers that they occupy! The company that I work for has business up there too so one day I might be one of them LOL

I guess living up there has pro's and cons.
Are those territories reachable during winter?

By snow scooter maybe, as in Lappland.

the capitals of the Yukon and north west territories both have year round roads in and out (but they are in the south) the rest of the people have to get in and out by flying or by boat in the summer. I live in Ontario (far north) and even I have to fly to get to my town (or by ice road in the winter) A different way of life for sure

the true north strong and free says the anthem but I like to say the true north far and bleak! LOL if you like hunting fishing and hiking/ camping it is an amazing place. you just have to trade that for resteraunts and bars and malls and movie theaters.

It took sometime but this will be my first time to Wacken! I am from Canada and have been to many north American shows and festivals but nothing like this! As an added bonus I am flying my little brother over with me for his birthday which falls on the Saturday of the festival. We were always close but it wasn't until I took him to see maiden the first time that we really clicked as brothers. I have since taken him to see them 2 more times and this is the trip to mecca as it were. I am more of an older power metal fan so very excited about Saxon and Hammerfall! I have been a fan of iced earth for as long as I can remember and Stu Block is Canadian so I am looking forward to waving the maple leaf. Neither of us are shy so if you see a couple of big Canadian brothers looking like they could die happy come on over and we will get a beer! -Cheers-

I'm late but Welcome fellow canadians! It will be my first time also.. Not like we can make it every year like Quark or AP do

You can make it to other festivals every year.

well technically you could make it every year... it would just take a lot of money and effort

Yeah I hear that! this holiday is going to cost a small fortune.... but worth it I think. I am looking forward to the board meeting so that I can put faces to names and see if german beer really is better
