1. Banff - I recall that you do not know how to pronounce this word, but anyway... Very scenic - beautiful place.
2. Montreal - lots of fun and many laid back people. A good place to drink a lot. Old Montreal is quite pretty. If you make any attempt to speak French you will be loved. Quebec City is also very nice. Stay at the Chateau Frontenac. Old Quebec is very charming.
3. Vancouver and area. Good rock-climbing
4. Newfoundland. Crazy fucked up unemployed people who like to drink a lot of something called screech. Very bizarre place and lots of fun. Not a place many people vacation there, but it is interesting.
5. Nova Scotia. Very beautiful and fun if you are into hiking, canoeing kayaking etc.

I've heard tell about a NYCer who took a vacation in Newfoundland and was treated like a celebrity the whole time.
Seriously, Canada gives you great bang for your vacation buck. Great golf all over both coasts, and Lake Louise, Alberta is supposedly every bit as pretty as that famous picture (I think it's of a Fairmont hotel).
