Well I did know honey was good for you. And macoo had that whole thread on it for a while, although between you and I, I think he read a bit too much into it.
What does being Canadian mean to you? (Happy Canada Day!!)

I'm in a constant state of being overwhelmed these days. It's now settled right in, nestled in my bones, a part of my life.
At least the honey I can eat. Lol.

I note that none of the comments in this thread talk about how good, or important, or significant it is to be a big actor on the world stage, fighting evil and bringing enlightenment to the benighted savages over yonder.
I'm envious.
Happy Canada Day.

What I got so far from this thread is that Canada is the land of flax and honey.... and sheep. No flax or honey where I am. Bear and deer, dogs and beer, but no sheep.
I am a Canadian because my parents immigrated here. I have felt Canadian from childhood even when I was four and we left the country, I kept asking when we were going home. Being Canadian means my parents had the choice of likely ten other countries but they chose carefully and they chose here and they loved it "here" and I am grateful every day that was their choice.
To me Canadian means live and let live. Do whatever you want, whenever you want as long as it harms no one. It means leaving my door unlocked when I take down the garbage. It means speaking to five strangers saying hello on my morning walk. It means chatting about their dog and maybe never seeing them again, but it was a warm exchange. It means being grateful my neighbourhood is safe. It means I have to enter the driveway carefully because the neighbourhood kids play out on the road in front of my driveway and pull wheelies and scream with delight.
It means if I call an ambulance in the middle of the night, they will come, and they will help me and I don't have to worry if I can afford to go to hospital because I don't have health coverage at work. It means one of my neighbours has a heavy French accent, another is Asian, another is from the Netherlands another from Lithuania, another is from Holland and it means we all have something in common even if we don't know each others names...it means we are all grateful to be living HERE in Canada. And if we don't like it, we are free to move because we are unfettered, we are free.
I am so grateful and happy and most of the time proud to be Canadian. I am glad to work in an environment where I hear our anthem everyday and we do have glowing hearts. :canada:

Once upon a time it meant unlimited opportunities - until I encountered restraints. It's still a pretty country
Is it possible (and I mean no insult by this) that what you encountered were, at least in part, not so much restraints as your own limitations?
Yeah.... It was called "on-the-job-accident" and disability and all the fall from grace that brings
That sucks. I'm sorry it happened to you. I hope you can find things to do with yourself that are worthwhile and satisfying within your new set of abilities.
I don't think he meant these:
apologies, in keeping with the theme of the thread...this colour should have been used:
Basically, "the look" would have been a greater help. Two arms, two legs and walking means able-bodied
And the colored girls go: Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do dooI don't think he meant these:these are for personal use

PM me. I'll be an advocate for you.
When you've won the lotto you don't bitch about it.

You must not live in Quebec.
Hey!! If I lived in Quebec I could buy my liquor at the local 7/11.. and lots of Maple Syrup and Poutine...
There is something good to be said for every Province and Territory in Canada.. because what makes Canada what it is, is the uniqueness of each region.
