What's Canada to you?


I thought I'd try playing around with images today. Copyright laws regarding pics on the internet are confusing to say the least. However, I knew there would be no issue with this one, since my husband took it on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario a few years ago.

The National Post's editorial today is titled "Canada's Day", and makes the point that celebrating Canada is about way more than politics - So take that, Susan Delacourt!!!

In fact, Canada is not about politics at all. It is about whatever each Canadian holds dear to his or her heart.

For me that is a profound appreciation for family, friends, faith, freedom and for the wild, rugged beauty of our amazing country.

A very Happy, nonpolitical Canada Day to all!

Just noticed that the top of this blog gets cut off in Explorer. Not sure if it's because of the image, or if it's been happening all along? Any ideas from you techies out there? Thanks.

This is priceless, yet sadly true in so many cases:

George Stromboulopoulos, hipster host of CBC's The Hour gets the last word:

"My favourite thing about being a Canadian is that I don't have to think about it."
