Happy Canada Day!

July 1st is Canada Day. I love being Canadian......

I love our cultural diversity. I love Canada's big-ness. I love how our provinces and territories have different landscapes. I love that we border on three oceans. I love how much open space we have. I love experiencing four seasons (I actually like winter!). I love our unique wildlife. I love how we have a wide variety of outdoors sports for all seasons. I love that we have two official languages. I love that you can be downtown and be within easy walking distance of greenspace in just about any city in Canada. I love that every Canadian is fed. I love that adventure is still part of Canada. I love that you can be white water rafting in the afternoon and attending a black tie affair that evening. I love the opportunity in Canada. I love our resilience and our sense of humour. I love our music, art and literature. I love being able to go to a doctor or hospital and not have to worry about paying a bill. I love our clean cities. I love our passion for our country. And, of course, I love our national horse, the Canadian. :-)

Happy Canada Day!

    Good morning everyone!

    Thank you for your kind comments and wishes. There was quite the celebration on Parliament Hill yesterday (I was not there). The Queen was a hit in her red suit and white hat. :-) I like this comment from her speech: "This nation has dedicated itself to being a caring home for its own, a sanctuary for others and an example to the world,". Nice, eh? :-) Have a great weekend!

    I love that more people belong to a credit union in Canada than in any other country (I wonder if that's part of the reason there hasn't been as bad of a recession in Canada?).

    :)

    Watch out, you are going to get us all moving there!
