There are no limits to the majestic future that lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured and generous-hearted people.
Winston Churchill
I love this country I call my own though I have the internal knowing that all borders that make this country a nation, seperate from other nations, are man made and not really there. We are one world.
I am, at the same time, proud of how this country has united and stood up for itself against the antics of a "bully" that wanted to take over the playground.
That being said, I am not so proud of what it has done to the peoples who were here long before the "settlers" colonized. ( Not a fan of colonization!) Pride is redeemed by any attempts, even if they are not sufficient, made by this country at Truth and Reconcilliation.
I love the diversity that makes this country a cultural mosaic rather than a melting pot. So many languages that tickle my ears.
I also love the abundant and diverse nature, wildlife, and beauty this country provides. I hope we learn to protect it a little better.
Yeah....I lift my head up when this human I call "me" tells others, when travelling, that she is from Canada
Yeah...it is a pretty cool country to be a part of.
All is well
