What does being Canadian mean to you? (Happy Canada Day!!)
To me being a Canadian means freedom. The ability to speak when you want, and to stand up for what you believe in. The pleasure to be able to visit your neighbors no matter there race, and to sleep peacefully at night not worrying that your home will be gone in the morning. For all those reasons I am very blessed and happy to live in the country of Canada.
So what does it mean to be Canadian for you? :canada:
To me it means residency.
Being Canadian was always a proud thing for me but then I learned about the world and now the pride has been replaced by sorrow for the things to come. I hope I am wrong but fear that I am right. It is impossible for me to divorce my Canadian identity from our evil allies and the horror they have wrought throughout the world. We are what we tolerate and nothing more.
True. The birth one anyway. Could have wound up being born in North Korea, Congo or to the Phelps family. That would suck.
You have to do it right if you dont want the language police to harass you.
Some people seem to think that they somehow earned the right to be bron in Canada and can now decide to gets to be lucky and who doesn't. Last I checked, God does not judge based on where one is born.
I'd emailed the OLF a while back to find out whether it would be legal to include a sign in Algonquin first and French second, but all at the same size (I was thinking of possibly investing in a business in Ottawa or Gatineau). I was pretty sure I knew the answer but wanted to be sure I hadn't overlooked any obscure legal exception.
I got the answer within a few days and sure enough, it would be illegal. Immagine! If Algonquin is a threat to the French language, then that language is in a much more precarious position than many people realise!
Too bad Molsons is owned by an American company. Takes all the patriotism out of those commercials for me.
Canada is still one of the greatest countries to live in, in spite of our politics.
