I LOVE THE RED AND WHITE

The excitement to proclaim "Happy Birthday Canada!" seems to grow each year! Which is of course awesome!

I don't think we have always felt the loyalty - the patriotism. Not like the other guys to the south. Why is that?  Canada has a giant roster of renowned people who are known internationally. Music, sports, newsmakers. A flood of famous names quickly come to mind.

How often have we said of ourselves, "We Canadians are a reserved group."  Hmmm, not during hockey games!  Or rock shows!  We're just as outgoing as the other guys.

Is it because "nothing happens up here?"  No - wait a minute. The other guys are coming to Canada to make movies, shooting in Toronto and Winnipeg and pretending it's a scene in New York. It's more affordable to film in Canada, so they come.

In the last two years I've become a fan of the changing seasons. Ten years ago, I lived only for summer and was disgruntled about the other three seasons, but now I look forward to the colours in the Fall, the glorious whitewash of winter and the optimism of Spring.

Seems to me there's a lot of great things about Canada.  And each year more people catch the vibe of Canada!

Ya...I love living here. The true north strong and free!
