I was born in London England, and my parents are from Ireland. Back in the day, when the kids turned a certain age, they went off to England to work and send money home. My parents met in England, married there, and its where I was born.

Well having grown up here and having only visited a small number of other places in the world there are a few things that come to my mind.
1. The natural beauty of our country .... we have been blessed with so many different types of terrain, wildlife, natural resources. In B.C. and the lower mainland there are many different activities that one can enjoy within a few minutes of traveling.
2. Our freedom of choices for faith, language, jobs, education
3. Our access to health care - people may have to wait but there are many countries where health care doesn't even exist
4. The opportunities for women
5. The opportunity to vote
6. The social systems that we have in place to assist those who need help
Think that we take for granted what we do have and sometimes we forget to realize that "our poor" are rich compared to other countries.
Now in saying this - there is always need/room for improvement and things do seem to have deteriorated over time - our country is our people and when each one of us steps up to make a change - just imagine the possibilities.

SmileandWink: Drinking the good stuff last night/this morning, going to BBQ and drink some more, than hang with the guys and drink a little mo... well you get the idea...
My head hurts just thinking about that! lol ...... I'd be sick for days if I indulged like that. One or two tops is my limit.

That is an excellent list of reason's to love Canada.
As much as we complain about our health care, my father would not be alive today if we did not have the health care system we do.
My parent's had planned to move to Australia at first, but I'm glad we ended up here.
