I'm still madly in Love with Cape Breton

Despite the fact that everything that could go wrong went wrong, and I ended up driving back 14 hours beyond pissed, I'm still madly in love with Cape Breton and am planning my next trip there, hopefully with companions that won't try to make me go home every other day. With companions that won't add to the wrong and help me enjoy the trip.

I'm being told that I dumped my companion because my trip didn't turn out how I had expected. No I dumped my companion because he bitched, whined and complained throughout the trip and was ready to go home when we just arrived in Cape Breton. He hated it visibly, but I did not. I just wish I had gotten opportunity to visit more. Driving all that distance to spend time in a tent really wasn't what I wanted.

He thinks I'm blaming him for the trip not turning out how I wanted. No I'm blaming him for being a dick during the trip. VERY DIFFERENT.

It doesn't matter though does it? Take someone in, be nice and they bite you in the end.  See if I'm ever nice again.

For everyone's bitching we're the most taxed in Canada!

One of the things I noticed travelling through Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is that it's most expensive in Quebec. The price for campground is more expensive in Quebec then  the other provinces I was in. The price of wood for burning in a campfire was more expensive in Quebec and furthermore, Quebec provincial parks are the only parks I've been to so far where they charge up to $1 for a 4 minute shower! That was a Bic National Park in Bic Quebec. Most of the other provincial parks I've been to in Quebec charge 50 cents for  5 minutes. [Seen at Grand Jardins, Frontenac and Tremblant] Still though - charging for a hot shower?!?!?

None of the federally run parks I've been to [Kouchibougac, Forrillion, Fundy, or Cape Breton Highlands], charge money for taking a shower, nor do the ones in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or PEI for that matter. 

I mean people always bitch about Quebec, we're the most taxed, things cost the most. We do expect to get more if we do pay more. Having the rest of Canada say it comes out of their pockets is suck garbage. Most of those who say that have probably never travelled to Quebec or experienced life in Quebec.
