I just went in March to Toronto (I had a thread about it called traveling to the centre of the universe) and I was pleasantly surprised. I was one of those angry westerners expecting the worst and was surprised. The hockey hall of fame might not be for the girls (or could be who knows) but it was a highlight for me. I'm sure those girls will love the Bay street (I think that is the one with all the trendy expensive shops) and some of the cultural things around. The ROM was partially opened so check before you go see it (they had the third floor closed down). Outside of Toronto I would have to second the Niagra on the Lake. Beautiful little town with a fabulous little pub (Angel Inn I believe). I enjoyed walking around in March so I would expect the summer time to be a little better. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the drinking age 19 in Ontario? That might throw a wrench into the wine thing if it is.

Anways short version is that there are a lot of interesting historical things out east. I would recommend going out seeing things but my one word of warning for those from Calgary going east is make sure you have Air conditioning. That heat and humidity is brutal.
