July 1 is a wonderful day to recognize our great nation
Ten Provinces and 3 Territories combine to create a terrific country
By
Mark Schadenberg
We
have a wonderful and unique country.
Happy
Canada Day !
Happy
Canada 150 !
With
our 10 provinces and 2 official languages, and many cultural backgrounds, it’s
a diverse collection of 40 million great people.
We
don’t all love 3-down football or hockey or curling, but we realize their role
in the fabric of our nation. Fabric? Just like a toque on a cold winter day.
From
cheese and gravy on french fries to our other passions of things Canadian –
While
many around the world have an alphabet beginning with an ‘A’, our starts with
an Eh!
MacLean's magazine list
I
love Quebec City and recognize it’s position in our great country’s history.
The
Maritimes have their own tradition in employment, hobbies, music and heritage.
Ontario
is so vast that southern Ontario is different than the vast density of Metro
Toronto.
From
the prairies to the Rocky Mountains to the west coast and Vancouver Island . . .
It sounds like a song, and I would say our country’s soundtrack contains so
much to the ingredients of our country.

have seen many lists of Canada’s top songs in re cent days, so I will list my

You

At
the same time, I’m curious why these performers never became household names:
Neverending White Lights, In-Flight Safety, Tara MacLean and Ray Lyell &
The Storm.
