Happy Canada Day Eh!
💖 As Canada Day, rolls around, I find myself reflecting on what this day means to us. It’s not just a moment to honor our values of inclusion, resilience and working together, as well as a time for reflection, and gratitude.
💖 Some fun facts about
Canada
✨Unlike many countries, our celebration isn’t about a war, but a peaceful request to Queen Victoria by the Upper & Lower colonies of Canada to form our own nation.
✨The second largest country in the world.
✨One of the longest highways in the world and the longest coastline is in Canada.
✨Basketball was invented by a Canadian.
✨We have more lakes than any other country.
✨Canada is famous for Niagara Falls, Banff, and the Northern Lights.
✨We’re a major producer of maple syrup.
✨Poutine originated in Quebec.
✨Canadians are known for tolerance, sensitivity, political correctness, being polite, saying ‘sorry’ & ‘eh’
✨The beaver is Canada’s national animal.
✨Our border with the US is the longest unprotected border in the world.
✨Often known for its cold winters. Coldest recorded temp: -63 degrees C
✨Famous Canadians: Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Martin Short, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion, and more, plus ‘The Rick Mercer Report’ is a must watch for Canadian satire.
As in most countries, it wasn’t all glory.
It’s also important to acknowledge and remember the difficult times as stepping stones towards reconciliation and a brighter future.
💖 On this Canada Day, let’s cherish our opportunities and freedoms we enjoy daily and be truly grateful for these, and grateful for being a good neighbor to the US.
🚀 Today, I’d love to hear your favorite Canada memories and what you’re grateful for in your country.
Happy Canada Day!
