Isn't it true that the western provinces really WANT to be part of the U.S.??
WHAT?? Gena, you know I love you girl, but right then I had a flash of my children...you know...pushing the envelope!!
I don't think so!! Anyways, isn't the US suppose to be the lamb like beast??? haha just kidding, right back at ya girl!!
Certainly it's a beautiful thing to be proud of the country you grew up in. I definitely know how privileged I am that God chose for me to live here, a land relatively free of strife, peaceful and beautiful (though I admit we certainly have our problems too!!).
When I was in South America my heart broke while walking through Shanty towns...people living in cardboard boxes...whole towns of them...never seen anything like it...children sleeping on the streets....I wanted to take them all home...and yet, simple, happy, humble people....children playing with homemade soccer balls for hours....I watch my children now, and think WOW what a different life....I struggle to keep my children appreciative of what they have. But I digress...I LOVE Canada, and yes we just had CANADA DAY, July 1st!!! (I know, I know, we're always ahead of you Americans....
