And its not " an unarmed American with health insurance."
Once in a while someone does a nice job of describing a Canadian,
In case anyone asks you who a Canadian is . .
[SIZE=+0]A Canadian can be English, or French,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Quebecois , or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Polish, Russian or Greek. A Canadian can be Mexican,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Armenian , Pakistani[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]or Afghan , etc..[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]A Canadian may also be a Cree, Métis, Mohawk,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Blackfoot, Sioux, or one of the many other tribes[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]known as native Canadians. A Canadian's religious[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]beliefs range from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Muslim, Hindu or none. In fact, there are more Muslims[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]in Canada than in Afghanistan . The key difference,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]is that in Canada, they are free to worship as each of[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]them chooses. Whether they have a religion or no[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]religion, each Canadian ultimately answers only to[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]to speak for the government and for God.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]A Canadian lives in one of the most prosperous lands[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]in the history of the world. The root of that[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]prosperity can be found in the Charter of Rights and[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Freedoms which recognize the right of each person to[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]the pursuit of happiness.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]A Canadian is generous and Canadians have helped out[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]just about every other nation in the world in their[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]time of need, never asking a thing in return.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]Canadians welcome the best of everything, the best[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]products, the best books, the best music, the best[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]food, the best services and the best minds. But they[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]also welcome the least - the oppressed, the outcast[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]and the rejected.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]These are the people who built Canada . You can try to[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]kill a Canadian if you must, as other blood-thirsty[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]tyrants in the world have tried, but in doing so, you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]could just be killing a relative or a neighbour. This[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]is because Canadians are not a particular people from[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]a particular place. They are the embodiment of the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]spirit, everywhere, can be a Canadian.[/SIZE]
