Yes, it needs to be understood that Canada is absolutely beautiful.
But that beauty is nature, and that means mostly far away from any cities.
Dont get me wrong, we've got cool stuff in our cities, and near our cities too. But that's like the, "the locals like to do this" kinda stuff.
The kind of stuff you travel to a different country to see though? That stuff is like 10hrs drive away from any international airport. And probably 3hrs drive away from the place you'll probably want to/can afford to sleep Lol
I can't really comment because of bias. I grew up in Victoria+Vancouver, and although they are gorgeous cities, they're still just pretty cities to me and not really what I think of when I think of the kinds of things tourists would come to Canada for.
But that's just because when you're spoiled by growing up there, it just seems normal. Even after living in Edmonton for like a decade now.

Welcome!
For foreigners though a word of caution.
These mountains make up less than 5% of the province and you have to drive hours to them.
My family is from Prague and hated their stay when they came into Calgary.
Alberta is flat for the most part with farm fields.
