I’m celebrating CANADA DAY, full out, with the same passion and pride as I always.
I fly the Canadian flag at the front of my home to show I am a proud Canadian.
For nearly eighty years, I have been able to live a safe and secure life here. I have made a good living working in my chosen profession, education, and I have been able to live wherever I wanted.
Canada is not a country without problems. I recognize life is difficult for some Canadians who struggle day-to-day, economically and maybe socially also. But I believe our governments at all levels are doing the best they can to make life better for all of us.
Our history has included turbulent times with undesirable people, an inescapable factor in the development of any nation. However, we have had and continue having political leaders dedicated to improving whatever they can.
The good about Canada outweighs the bad. I celebrate the good.
I am celebrating Canada Day. My Canadian flag is raised with pride and passion. Canada is the greatest country in the world and I am proud to be a Canadian.
To paraphrase another leader, “Vive le Canada libre!”
