I've found that it's really
difficult to do a search and find something on a specific topic that's
also Canadian so when I stumble onto interesting Canadian sites I always
bookmark them thinking one day I might need them. Frequently I'm
right. Here are some links that you may find handy or at the very
least interesting.
But first.....I know you all
have seen the "I am Canadian" rant and loved it so I thought I'd display the words to it here so you can memorize them and impress
your friends.
I am Canadian
Hey,
I am not a lumber jack
or a fur trader,
and I don't live in
an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled,
and I don't know Jimmy,
Sally or Suzie from Canada although I am certain
they're really really
nice, uh
I have a Prime Minster
not a president.
I speak English and
French, not American, and I pronounce it about, not a
boot.
I can proudly sew my
countries flag on my back pack,
I believe in peace
keeping not policing, diversity not assimilation,
and that the beaver
is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a
chesterfield is a couch.
And it is pronounced
zed, not zee, zed.
Canada is the second
largest landmass,
the first nation of
hockey,
and the best part of
North America, my name is Joe, and I am Canadian.
Thank You.
Here’s to you Canada
Here’s to your hockey hair,
your long underwear,
and multicoloured money
Here’s to saying please
Your ducks and geese
and always being funny
Here’s to open spaces
away from rat races
and a beer that quenches the thirst
here’s to being proud
and saying it loud
even when you don’t come first
to your pretty girls
your black coloured squirrels
and a flag that stands so free
Here’s to different faces
from different places
who love this country just like me
But most of all
here’s to standing tall
and saying it like a true Acadian
I love this land
I love this country
And I AM CANADIAN
