Proud to be Canadian.

Happy Birthday Canada!

Yes, I am a proud Canadian. I feel very special to live in a country that is so accepting and diverse. A country that preaches peace instead of war (though some conversatives may think differently). I have definately been blessed, that on Canada's birthday, we are able to celebrate with amazing displays of fireworks and be able to spend it freely with our friends and family.

I was thinking as the fireworks went off, that not many other countries around the world have a chance to celebrate it's birthday. There are so many countries in turmoil, going through government upheavels, and the civil wars, corrupt governments, and dying citizens that can't take the time to celebrate their own birthday's little own the country's. We are so lucky to have the freedoms we have today and I think that we should take a moment to think about that on the day that Canada was born. Of course we remember the horrible things that have happened in the past, but that is what has shaped Canada, and helped it grow. Sure, we aren't perfect and I don't see Canada being perfect ever, but working towards that is definately something to admire.

So Canada, on your birthday, I appreciate everything you have given me, a safe home, a loving environment for my family, safe home's for my friends and families, and a belief in a more tolerant society, though much of society doesnt agree with many things, at least we aren't stoned to death for being who we are.

Thank you Canada. Happy Birthday!
