I’m not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don’t live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, 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 “aboot”.
I can proudly sew my country’s flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A tuque 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!
My name is Crystal! And I am Canadian! Cheers!
An hour an a half is all that remains (in this time zone) of Canada’s 139th birthday. Happy Birthday Canada!
