Oh yeah...Canada. 
As a native Detroiter, we actually lived just North of Canada and I was very familiar with, and enjoyed the ambiance. I've been on at least three extended tourist stays in Toronto, and our family spent two summer vacations in the so-called "Cottage Country" north of TO.

We toured in Michigan and Ontario.
In 1977 we moved to Boston on our bikes, as a bicycling honeymoon from Los Angeles to Washington, DC and then took the train up to Boston. We have toured in New England and the Maritime Provinces, and one trip to the DelMarVa peninsula….

It is very nice there, but not quite what I have in mind.
Going to have to look into Canada further. Sounds like many nice rides there. Never heard of Icefields Parkway. Looks stunning. My mother (rest her soul) was Canadian, and I have many relatives in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia that may be due a visit.
