As Canadians, pride in our country, history and land is perhaps not very obvious to those from other countries.
True, we don’t beat our chest, flaunt our greatness or always opt for the biggest pomp and ceremony…ours is an understated, but deeply held pride, like someone who is strong and silent but confident in their own skin.
Often, being a relatively young country, full of diversity, spread out with our largest cities quite distant from each other…it’s very probable that many of us take our own greatness for granted. For that, we must take the blame.
So, another Canada Day is upon us.
We have a chance today to demonstrate our National Pride…a pride in our fore fathers, in our land, in each other and in our collective and individual strength and resolve and, of course, in our decency.
For these reasons, and more…let’s make sure all Canadians get out and show the world that we do not take our country for granted…that we stand collectively for this great country and that we are confident enough in ourselves, our people and our country and celebrate its greatness.
Above all else, lets make sure that we take a moment, thank our veterans who have battled for us in combat and take just a moment to remember the great history of our land…then get down and party like only Canadians can – after all – our country is worth celebrating isn’t it?
What will you be doing Canada Day…share your favorite plans or moments!
