What a great Canada day it has been. Great times. July 1st is Canada day. Beautiful start to a beautiful Month of summer.
I am a happy and proud to be born on Canadian soil, and I love living in this beautiful country.
Some people take Canada for granted, and complain about this and that, stereotype us because we have freezing cold temperatures and snow, but May I recall, were not the only country that gets freezing temperatures and snow, it just gets me on my nerves, grinds my gears when people talk about something or somewhere they really have no idea about, so they stereotype and make fun of things they do not understand and should not be made fun of period. Honestly it is one of the best countries to live in my opinion. What also gets on my nerves when people make fun of Maple Syrup, Hockey, Curling and stereotype us even more with so much. It is not funny and There is nothing to laugh about. Not everything is a joke.
We have a beautiful Nation, do not take it for granted and count your blessings that you are in Canada and North America. Take a look around the world with all the unjust and terrible things going on, on the other side of the world. Our minor daily problems we have is nothing compared to the major problems going on in war torn countries, where everyday is uncertain, and everything else in between.
Sometimes people don’t know how good they have it until they abuse it then eventually lose it, and taking advantage, and things for granted with our free healthcare system and among everything else for example. It will someday not be there anymore for everyone’s reach. When we take care of our people, home and our country, it will take care of us with the right people who do not have any hidden agendas and being true leaders for a better tomorrow to guide us to the right path. Just saying.
If you have not visited Canada, if you are planning to visit, to move or anything, it will be a great decision. You will love Canada’s beauty and some of the people.
CANADA is the true, north, strong and free and our home and native land, with our true patriot love. I AM CANADIAN AND I LOVE YOU CANADA!

I do appreciate and miss Canada more now that I have been away from there for a couple of years, as far as being a resident. About a month ago, I revisited Vancouver and very much enjoyed not having to look over my shoulder as I do in the US and knowing that fellow tourists who had accidents while traveling did not get stuck with a medical bill for thousands of dollars. Thank you for the post.
British Columbia is one of the loveliest places… =)
Bravo to you for loving your country which I too hold very close to my heart as well. My grandparents were Canadian from Ottawa, my grandmother always said that the Stanley Cup belonged in Canada and my cousin is a Royal Canadian Mountie!
My country the USA is forever indebted to Canada for saving the lives of our diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis.
Canada is truly a gorgeous country.
