Canada Day ... 2020


Canada  - A GOOD IDEA

Yup, still here, still at it. And still enamored by this fine and good country that I am fortunate enough to live in. Is #Canada perfect? No, not by a long shot. But, seriously, what is?

And, perhaps more important during these troubled and troubling times, where else in the world is BETTER? China? Russia? The United States? .... What about the Netherlands? Sweden? South Africa? New Zealand? Vietnam? Germany? Turkey? Sudan? Ethiopia? Iran? Pakistan? ...

All in all, Canada is doing pretty well for a youngster on the global stage. That's due, in no small part, to the millions of immigrants who have come from all over the world seeking a BETTER life for themselves and their families ... Kudos to you all!!

It is the DREAM, and the DESIRE to WORK HARD to BUILD a BETTER place that drives us on.
We know we are not perfect, but we do try our best, most often.

Enjoy this wonder-filled day: Enjoy your lives. Live Well -
And thank you Canada and all Canadians for being such Good People.
