Canada Day
Written by Mike Cheliak on July 1, 2009 – 9:45 am -Happy Canada D’EH!
The true love of being a Canadian comes from deep within your heart. It doesn’t mean you love cold weather or normal beer and it doesn’t mean 
you have an obsession with hockey (although I do). Being Canadian isn’t about the Queen, although MAN you have to admire that lady for hanging in there this long!
Canadians don’t whine about our taxes (much) and we don’t complain about politics (much) but we do have a SERIOUS problem when someone disses our hockey team (See Hockey Obsession note above).
Being Canadian is loving the fact that you can be proud of your ethnic heritage and equally as proud about being a Canadian. It’s about a desire to celebrate our differences and celebrate our commonalities even more. Being Canadian is about freedom, equality, humanity, friendship and generosity. It’s about fighting for the right cause, helping when you can and never asking for anything in return.
I am Canadian and I love my country. I also love the fact that we have the Coolest neighbours in town just south of our border! In celebrating our Canada Day, we just take time to enjoy and be thankful for our great country, great friends, great family and the freedom to enjoy it.
This Canada Day, take some time to truly reflect and be thankful for all we have and recharge yourself to continue on being a good Canadian!
In happiness and health as always!
Mike C.
