Why being Canadian rocks
Being Canadian rocks because:
- We have the right to vote for whomever we choose
- Free healthcare!
- We can say what we want without fear of being jailed/tortured/killed for it
- Whenever I visit the States I hear from everyone how much they love Canadians
- We have access to fresh, clean water
- There are some astoundingly beautiful places to visit. I will never forget the time I went horseback riding in the Rocky Mountains.
- (Vegetarian) poutine. Enough said.
- Our (sometimes inexplicable) sense of loyalty to a certain hockey team
- The cat shelter on Parliament Hill
- Many of my favourite authors are Canadian
- A lot of movies and TV shows get filmed here. One of my favourite things to do is watch a movie/TV show that was filmed here, and then squeal “I recognize that! I’ve been there!”
- Culture on every corner
- Public transportation (it may not be perfect, but it is there!) A recent visit to Texas made me appreciate the TTC tenfold.
- There are always tons of amazing concerts to go to.
Andddd, the number one reason being Canadian rocks (this ties in with some of the others)…..
DEMOCRACY
Happy Canada Day, everyone. What is it that makes you proud to be Canadian?
