The Rideau Falls in Ottawa
A good spot, especially in the evening, is the Rideau Falls on Sussex Drive, Ottawa which is right next to the French Ambassador's home and a short distance away from the Prime Minister's Residence (24 Sussex Dr.) -
Here is some interesting Trivia about this place -

2. This is where the Rideau River empties into the Ottawa River (that separates Ottawa, Ontario from Gatineau, Quebec).
3. It is a thrilling experience to stand on the bridge, right over the falls especially right when after the snow has melted.
4. There is a huge lung space / park in this location (much like most of Canada 
) and you can learn more at http://www.ncc-ccn.gc.ca/places-to-visit/parks-paths/rideau-falls-park-green-island
5. The Ottawa river from this viewpoint appears in different Hues and shades during various parts of the year.. this would make a great Post card during the Fall Season!
