Warning: Canada is a haven for terrorism, crime, and tornadoes
 
Terrorists, thieves and tornadoes - oh, Canada!

Australians considering a trip to the Great White North may find themselves quickly making other plans after reading their federal government's travel advisory on Canada.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recently updated its "Smart Traveller" website - intended to give travellers "up-to-date information about the risks Australians might face overseas" - and classified the world's nations into five categories based on their current "security situation."

Canada falls into the second safest category, called "exercise caution" (not as safe as Chile, Romania and South Korea), with terrorism listed as the top concern.

"Heavy snowfalls and ice in the winter can make driving dangerous. The wind-chill factor can also create dangerously cold outdoor conditions. ... The province of British Columbia in western Canada is in an active earthquake zone. Alberta and British Columbia are also subject to avalanches. ... Tornadoes can occur in some areas of Canada between May and September. Bush and forest fires can occur any time in Canada."
Be advised that there are vehicles on the roads of Canada. Crossing a Canadian street without first looking in either direction could be dangerous.

This is hilarious, though I note cautiously that, ahem, drivers are a tad more dangerous in Montreal than most other places:P But I live in Vancouver, home of the latte drinking, cell phone using, nitwitt driver. Combine that with living in an "active earthquake zone" and it's a wonder I'm still here!

Montreal is more about aiming the car and stepping on the right pedal than driving. Nothing like going up the 15 on a Friday with cottage traffic. :D
