July 1 is just around the corner, and on that date in 1867, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada were united into a single country.
Canada Day is traditionally celebrated with fireworks, concerts, cookouts, and sporting events.
How do you plan to celebrate this great nation?
Seems strange that
one of the best-known poems about our country actually began as a beer
commercial. Or, perhaps it's not so strange, after all?
I Am
Canadian
Ehh...
I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader,
and I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled,
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, NOT American.
and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.
I can proudly sew my nation's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing,
diversity, NOT assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch,
and it is pronounced 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!
Canada is the second largest land mass,
the first nation of hockey,
and the best part of North America!
