Calgary is situated at the confluence of the Bow River and the Elbow River in the south of the province, in the transitional area between the Rocky Mountain Foothills and the Canadian Prairies, about 80 km (50 mi) east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies, roughly 299 km (186 mi) south of the provincial capital of Edmonton and approximately 240 km (150 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. The city anchors the south end of the Statistics Canada-defined urban area, the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor.
Calgary's economy includes activity in the energy, financial services, film and television, transportation and logistics, technology, manufacturing, aerospace, health and wellness, retail, and tourism sectors. The Calgary Metropolitan Region is home to Canada's second-highest number of corporate head offices among the country's 800 largest corporations. In 2015 Calgary had the highest number of millionaires per capita of any major Canadian city. In 1988 it became the first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympic Games.
The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Calgary the most livable city in North America in both 2018 and 2019. Calgary has been a top 5 contender for this title for the last 10 years.

Drumheller is a town on the Red Deer River in the badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located 110 kilometres (68 mi) northeast of Calgary, and 97 kilometres (60 mi) south of Stettler. The Drumheller portion of the Red Deer River valley, often referred to as Dinosaur Valley, has an approximate width of 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) and an approximate length of 28 kilometres (17 mi).
Drumheller was once the largest coal producing city in Western Canada, with the Atlas Coal Mine. Now, coal mining has been replaced by natural gas and oil. Drumheller has Alberta's second largest natural gas field, the West Drumheller Field. However, Drumheller is planning to transition away from fossil fuels and emphasize renewable energy sources, such as wind power, in its economy. Currently, tourism is Drumheller's main industry. A federal prison and regional medical complex also contribute to the economy. Agriculture is also quite important.
Drumheller experiences a semi-arid climate (BSk). The highest temperature ever recorded in Drumheller was 40.6 °C (105 °F) on 18 July 18, 1941. The coldest temperature ever recorded was −43.9 °C (−47 °F) on January 29, 1996.
South of the traffic bridge over the Red Deer river on Highway 9 is the World's Largest Dinosaur, a 26.2-metre (86 ft) high fiberglass Tyrannosaurus rex that can be entered for a view of the Badlands, including the adjacent 23 metre (75 ft) water fountain, again one of the largest in Canada. Tourist attractions also include the Star Mine Suspension Bridge, Atlas Coal Mine, Canadian Badlands Passion Play, Horseshoe Canyon, Water Spray Park, Aquaplex with indoor and outdoor pools, Horse Thief Canyon, hoodoos, Midland Provincial Park, the Rosedeer Hotel in Wayne, 27 kilometres (17 mi) of constructed pathways, Bleriot Ferry, East Coulee School Museum, Homestead Museum, Valley Doll Museum and the Little Church which is capable of seating only six patrons.
Next to the now closed Drumheller ski hill is the Canadian Badlands Passion Play site, where, for two weeks each July, performances are held. Companies are composed of actors from all over Alberta. The site also offers small plays throughout the summer and an interpretive centre.
Drumheller is also home to the Valley Doll Museum and Gifts, where it displays over 700 dolls.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology is a museum that hosts Canada's largest collection of dinosaur fossils. It boasts 375,000 visitors a year, the largest of all provincial museum attractions. It opened on September 25, 1985. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is located in the northwest quadrant of the Town of Drumheller, in Midland Provincial Park.

Sorry for the long gap in uploads; I've been away the past few weeks. Thanks for staying tuned :)
After the collision, she pulled into a bus stop. I got out and recommended she pull into the next parking lot.
Luckily there was no damage and she was very apologetic. No harm done. Good thing for strong Volvo bumpers :D
This episode is a bit longer than usual since I'm a week behind in uploading.
This happened on Main Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. No one was injured. In case the Mitsubishi driver needed a witness, I provided my contact information.
I decided to blur the Toyota driver's face because, while he should have looked and should have done any number of things to avoid the crash, it was ultimately an accident. Given that this clip will undoubtedly be stolen and put in countless "crash compilations" on other channels, I don't want a face attached to what others might say about him.
My friend was saying just a few minutes earlier how it bothers him that there's a stereotype about younger people being more dangerous drivers than older people, when it always seems to be older people hitting younger people. When the drivers got out of their cars, the one at fault was clearly over 60 and the victim was under 30.
The drive features Route 213 between Trunk 3 and the 103, to its terminus in Halifax, then the 102 onto Joseph Howe Drive until the Bedford Highway at the intersection with Highway 111. We take the 111 until Exit 4, which leads to the 118 until Exit 13E and the 107 until Main Street (Trunk 7). The rest of the video follows the 107 until Exit 20 and ends in Porters Lake.
Here is the full video of the drunk driver: youtube.com/watch?v=8_3QtCuRrhs
About a half-hour after the video ends, the police phoned me back to confirm the driver was "very impaired." When I gave a written statement, the officer said the driver was "plastered."
Never drink and drive. Too many people have been needlessly killed at the hands of drunk drivers. There are always other options. Never put others and yourself at senseless risk.
Drive safe.
*Update* The Impala driver was found fully liable.

Take off from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport on an Air Canada Boeing 777-300, Flight AC 5 to Haneda Tokyo International Airport.
Landing at Tokyo Narita International Airport from Fukuoka aboard a Jetstar Japan Airbus A320-200, flight GK513.
This is the cheapest way to get from Narita to Tokyo; we had a reservation, which you can purchase on board some airlines (we got ours on Jetstar Japan), or in advance from a ticket counter. The cost with a reservation is ¥900, and ¥1,000 without.

The the drive begins in Riverview on Findlay Blvd, transitions briefly onto NB Route 114 and then continues onto NB Route 15 in Moncton—New Brunswick's second-largest city (pop. 140,000). Route 15 connects Moncton to the Trans-Canada Highway (crosslisted as NB Route 2) and its eastern Northumberland shore. The section between Exit 10 and 31A is overlayed with Route 11, which separates at the junction in Shediac, then runs north along the ocean to the Quebec border. Route 15 becomes and remains an undivided two-lane highway after Exit 37 until its terminus at the Trans-Canada Highway junction (crosslisted with NB Route 16) in Port Elgin. Between the Route 950 junction and Route 16, Route 15 is part of the scenic Acadian Drive.
The toll is $1.00 per crossing or $0.80 with a MacPass.
I realized that I misplaced the captions in this one. They're too small and not in the right place, but I don't think it's so bad that I'll fix and re-upload. Sorry about that.
The 358 runs through the communities of Greenwich, Port Williams, Canard, Canning, The Lookoff, and Scots Bay.
At 9:10 is a famous Nova Scotian view from The Lookoff over the Annapolis Valley.
The video ends in Scots Bay at Cape Split Provincial Park.
Sped up about 2x.
I was floating the idea of doing a Q&A; this might answer some of your questions. If not, feel free to post them in the comments. If I get enough questions that aren't answered in this video (I know it's long), I might consider making a proper Q&A video responding to fans if people would be interested in having on.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy :)

Stay tuned for the "Director's Cut" unedited version as recorded from my own dashcam.
Part three of four.
This is part two of four.
The Cobequid Pass begins at 2:03 and ends when the video finishes.
The Cobequid Pass opened on November 15, 1997. It was built to bypass Trunk Highway 4, a two-lane uncontrolled-access road. It is the only toll highway in Nova Scotia and stretches 45km between Masstown (Exit 12) and Thomson Station (Exit 7).
The highway is known for its adverse and unpredictable weather. It is often blanketed in fog throughout the winter, and here is an example of how bad it can get. Beginning around 3:45, you can how the thickness of the fog increases.
The 7 between Preston and Musquodoboit Harbour has been commonly known as the "Old Number 7 Highway" since 1978, when the parallel 100-series Highway 107 was completed to allow commuters from the Eastern Shore a faster route to Halifax.
This video is the first part of four featuring Trunk 7 between Dartmouth and Antigonish.
