We are a humble and proud Nation....We bury our honour, and pride deep within ourselves.
In the Middle East we supported American Campaigns by shadowing the troops on top of the mountains, the most dangerous position....Watching their backs, and risking the skyline.
We let them take the glory of battle....In private, they called us the Canadian Angels, because they knew they would have never made it to the battlefield, without their shadows from above.
I was there, and was suprised at the respect we received from them.
We stand our ground no matter what the consequence...And back it up with a polite, but steadfast resolve that is respected throughout the world....Don't piss off a Canuck, because you'll be picking your own teeth up.
We are a people connected to nature..We are living in cities or towns, and yet we can watch Killer Whales from the Seawall..We believe in Mother Nature, and her sacred circle of life, and there are some who choose to live within her domain.
It doesn't matter if you live in a concrete highrise, or a log cabin in the woods....As a people, we don't try to conquer Mother Nature, we embrace her.
I think perhaps we don't know what it is we are proud of, some feel it is pointless when comparing ourselves to the nation placed South of us. Others feel we could take a lesson from them....But if you look at whats happened there over the past few years...They have tried to control gun owners,with new firearm regulations..New social based health care that looks after everyone, and doesn't turn your health into a business transaction..Raising taxes so food and services can be supported by getting rid of subsidies....All very Canadian ideas.
Maybe what we should consider being proud of the fact that, although we struggle with who we think we are. Maybe we are starting to figure that out, and the entire world is watching our progress....When Canada enters the world stage...We seem uncomfortable, but no matter what the venue, either sports, entertainment, war, or political agendas..Other Nations look up ,and follow our lead.
