i feel LUCKY to be born here,

most people are kind, and friendly, the landscape is beautiful, we are free, we have great health care and education systems. . .

but i do not necessarily know if i am proud. Like many countries we have done some sketchy things. I am embarrassed about the way we treat our First Nations people, and how our government is basically ignoring the Kyoto accord and letting our beautiful country rot away. . . .

I am glad that i was born here, and know that people around the world treat me with respect and kindness because of my citizenship, but i also realize that it was just chance my being born Canadian and i cannot help thinking of those not lucky enough to live in a wonderful place like this. So i have to say i cannot feel proud of something i had no control over . . .only LUCKY . . .

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who says anything bad about this country should be deported that very minute. I don't get why people come here from all over the world, only to complain about how "sh*tty" this country is.

According to a Recent popular US article on the L.A. Times.

A little question of history. Mordecai Richler (a Canadian novelist and respected writer ) once suggested that what defines Canadians is the fact that we're all, quite literally, losers--and we've never gotten over the fact. Nobody actually actively chose to live here because they really liked the idea. The natives, who were always here, didn't choose to have the European-dominated country of Canada imposed on top of them--but they lost battles, and so became Canadians. Losers. The French in Quebec are Canadians because the British defeated them back in the eighteenth century (and they sure don't like that fact these days). Losers, right? The British-based population of Canada consists of two major groups: United Empire Loyalists, the people in the American colonies who sided with Britain in the war of independence and lost, and so had to flee to Ontario and the Maritimes; and immigrants from England, most obviously people who were doing poorly there, losers at the game of life who decided to set out and try again somewhere else. Losers all again. Throughout this century, people who have immigrated to Canada have tended to be people who have lost elsewhere--lost wars, lost land, etc. Losers yet again. My own ancestors came here because of pogroms in Eastern Europe that destroyed their homes--and would have preferred to go to the US but they couldn't get in, so they settled for Canada, poor losers. We Canadians aren't patriotic because we really only settle for being here, all of us, rather than being delighted by it--and we love to whine about it. Losers for sure, eh?

I would be, if I was Canadian.

No. God hates the proud. It says so in the Bible.

But I love being Canadian and I am a Canadian patriot.

God Bless Canada!!!
