I’m from Montreal and Les Îles de la Madeleine have become my #1 vacation destination for the past few years! Although the tour has obviously brought you to some nice spots, I highly recommend taking a full week-long retreat there to explore the archipelago on your own, so much to discover! Cheers

@DrifterDave Ай бұрын

I would have loved to explore for a full week! This was a press trip, so I was working with the local tourism board and discovering the island on a set schedule. But, I definitely would love to come back and discover it on a longer trip sometime in the future - beautiful archipelago!

Enjoy your content. Have you ever considered going to the Haida Gwaii / Queen Charlotte Islands. They seem fascinatingly remote, however im finding it hard to access any information on the islands.

I visited in 2017, just before I became a vlogger! I wish I had filmed it as it’s an incredible part of Canada - now you’re making me think I need to head back there and film it! 👍

did you go to grosse ile?

@DrifterDave 28 күн бұрын

Yes! I have two other Magdalan Islands vlogs, plus a full-length version if you prefer to watch it all at once. Here's the link to the Grosse Ile / Ile de Grande Entree video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5pxraWpsMC8nas.htmlsi=_inc39VUh-jFeVqy

Dave do you use Aeroplan to get to these far out Canadian places?

@DrifterDave 6 ай бұрын

Sometimes! For this trip, I took the ferry from Prince Edward Island (check out last week’s video for that journey) and flew Air Canada to Montreal using Aeroplan on the way out (next week’s video) 👍 It was 9000 Aeroplan miles plus $9 taxes from the Magdalen Islands to Montreal, so not bad!

Do Canadians not learn french in school? It hurts if you try to pronounce french words….

@DrifterDave 5 ай бұрын

No, we don’t learn French. It’s technically mandatory until Grade 6, but I don’t remember a single class. And I don’t know a soul who speaks French where I live in Western Canada. Very few Western Canadians are bilingual as we are a half a continent away from any French influence. As for my pronunciation - be nice. At least I’m trying, rather than insisting on translating everything to English like many others would do 👍

these islands belong to france...not quebec/canada.

@tryingtosurvive93 19 күн бұрын

dam really 30 thinking im from quebec. your close tho the magdalen island ( iles de la madelein) belongs to quebec and is inside the golf st lawrence but the island your thinking of is saint pier et miquelon little south of nfld on the outside of golf st lawrence

You’re confusing the Magdalen Islands with the archipelago of Saint Pierre & Miquelon, France. I’ll have a separate video about my visit to that French archipelago posting soon. St. Pierre & Miquelon is off the coast of eastern Newfoundland, while the Magdalen Islands are just 100 km north of Prince Edward Island, approximately 600-700 km west of the place you’re thinking.
