I'll still be around, at least on the insomnia forum until I can start getting a good night's sleep 😃. P.S. decided to vacation in Canada for -- well, we can't talk politics here -- so let's just say "reasons." What's a good place in Eastern Canada to visit for some solitude and nature but still enough civilization to have restaurants and hotels?

If you want a city as your home base, Quebec City, hands down. The old city is like visiting Europe, the Faubourg St-Jean just outside the old city walls is a great area for nightlife (including some long-established gay venues), and it's very quick and easy to get outside the city to the Laurentian Mountains, Montmorency Falls, Île d'Orléans, etc. (you could easily spend a day or more cycling or hiking around the island). It's also just a 2-hour train ride to Montréal for when you want to take the culture and nightlife up a couple of notches.

If you want mostly nature rather than a city with nature access, you could try south of Quebec City in the Eastern Townships. It's beautiful camping and hiking country around Sherbrooke.
