A recent world poll reveals that Canada is one of the most envied countries of the world. In fact people of the world think more highly of us that we do ourselves. We remain the standard bearer for freedom , diversity and tolerance. We as a country are 143 years old which is young by world standards.We possess much of the fresh water in the world, natural resources in every area and natural beauty everywhere you care to see.
On our 143 birthday it would be good to take a moment and observe or take stock of our land. In the survey among 24,000 people of the world we were viewed favourably by a vast percentage as a place they would like to live. In spite of this we have some challenges. We have an abundance of food and clean water but many of our Canadian people are living in poverty and have no clean water.
We are not always good Stewart's of our environment but more and more individuals are becoming bullish about their personal green contribution. We have so much to be thankful for and as Canadians we will accept our responsibilities in making our country even better. One of our main characteristics is our embracing the concept of diversity. Toronto as an example is home to the world. Every nationality is represented in the social fabric and live together ,not just tolerating but accepting and enjoying the diversity. People say that if you get on a Toronto street car you view a large portion of the world.
For me personally Canada cannot be described by our beauty, achievements or a multitude of things but rather it is a feeling deep in my body that cries out Canada when I hear our national anthem or see news which singles out our country. Tears flood when I see our people on the world stage like during the Olympics and world events. This emotional response had been instilled in my being because I am a proud Canadian.
