The topography in Canada is so diverse that there are so many places that be described as beautiful.
From the shores of Newfoundland to the Flower City of Victoria on Vancouver Island BC.

I've only visited BC, but Smithers is a nice little town. The Stikine River Lodge is pretty nice (if you are into outback adventures). Frog Lake is where we spent most of our time. We had our own little cabin. No signs of civilization for 300 miles. Damn it was peaceful.

The Pender Islands, off of Vancouver Island. Just like the San Juans, without the tourists. Remote, Orca's cruise by almost every day, great fishing. If you want to get away from it all, it doesn't get much better than this.

Algonquin Provincial Park, north of Toronto. You want to talk about getting away from it all...

I've been to the North Channel/30,000 islands area. I thought that was pretty nice, and I can't wait to go back.

But I suppose that just reflects the same devlopments in Toronto itself - once a nice example of true Canadiana, deserving of it's old nickname "Toronto the Good", it's devolved into an overpopulated cultural cesspool that bears no resemblance to, even sometimes openly rejects, the Canadian heritage that made it once such a great place to come to. Anyone looking for "Canada" will not find it there. Thans goodness for places mentioned above like Halifax or Lake Louise.

I've been to many of the places already mentioned, and I agree, smokinLUV, that when I've been away, the ability to see for 40-50 miles across the prairie -with the Rockies off in the western background-, always gives me that feeling in my chest like "I am home". 
But I have to say, my favourite place, anywhere is right in front of the Banff Springs hotel, at Bow Falls.
I could just sit there and stare at it, until I died.,
(and yes, I have been to Niagra Falls. What a tacky tourist trap. Yecchh.)

1981, went to Mount Orford once to go skiing. It seemed nice, but my buddy and I got really drunk, hot wired a snowmobile, and drove it through the hotel's glass door and into the swimming pool. We didn't wait around for the CMP's and I haven't been back to Canada since.

I live on Thetis Island in the Gulf Islands, quite close to Pender.
