"CANADIANS have been left bewildered by an Australian Government advisory warning travellers to be cautious when visiting their country.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Smart Traveller website warns potential tourists of terrorism, dangerous winter driving, heavy snow, ice and wind chills, as well as tornadoes, earthquakes and forest fires.
Canada is listed in its second-safest category while countries such as Chile, South Korea and Latvia are regarded as safer.
ABC online reported yesterday there had been no response from the Canadian Government but plenty of public reaction, with many residents wondering where Australia was sourcing its information.
There is no warning for Australia on Canada's Foreign Affairs website, except for an advisory to be wary of pickpockets and avoid demonstrations because they could turn violent, ABC online reported."

I would be more inclined to go with the Canadian's advice, as someone has tried to pickpocket me here. Other dangers we have experienced/heard of:
- the risk of freezing to death after Jessica's clothes were stolen from the university pool
- being hit by a slap-shot hockey puck
- starving to death due to the low minimum wage and high price of cheese
- (and sadly and realistically) being Tazered to death in Vancouver International Airport
