Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day to all who live in this wonderful country. There are always issue that can separate us, but we still are lucky to live where we live. The issues are important, but we have the ability to sit down and talk about our differences in a civil and respectful way.

The sun this morning rose over Newfoundland and will set over BC tonight. The colours over the Maritimes were especially impressive. The Great Lakes caught the sun at just the right time. A few Manitobans up early enough even wondered if Summer was still holding the fort.

Ontario woke up to a new reality and many of them are shaking their heads wondering what happened, but they know common sense will prevail

The happy children in Saskatchewan said to say, "Hi!" The oil workers in Alberta said, "Thanks for the laugh!" The realtor in Quebec asked, "Are you sure about the farmer's market?" The dancer in PEI whispered, "Don't tell a soul..." And the sage in BC said, "You have exactly what it takes to travel!" The Northern Lights danced and played over the Yukon, Nunavut and the North West Territories as the north welcomed summer.

Tell me do you have any recollection of all your other-worldly to-ings and fro-ings, yet? Or are we still pretending we are not in one of the greatest countries in the world?

If you only knew...
