To ALL my Fellow Canucks out there...

[Sol]

Have a Great and Happy Canada Day !!!


This year represents the 150th birthday of our Confederation. But to be honest, we're a little older than that.

This year also represents Montreal's 375th birthday...we've come a long way since it was called Fort Ville Marie in 1642.

We've just been ranked the second best nation in the world to live in, and #1 for our quality of life.


I remember just how proud I was, as a kid, to live in a country that was gigantic in size and where we fully enjoyed taking advantage of our four seasons.

Winters here aren't for sissies. That much is for sure. But it makes our winter sports all the more greater.

We are proud of our Hockey. But did you know that we invented Basketball? Someone must have gotten bored in the summer...

We love our poutine and bacon. And our maple syrup. But how about those ketchup chips you enjoy? Did you know we invented those as well?

OK. There are better things in life than ketchup chips. Alcoholic beverages come to mind.

Bloody Ceasar anyone? Invented in Calgary in 1969. Don't get confused with the Bloody Mary (an American treat)...

Whether you enjoy a Molson beer, a Labatt beer, an Alexander Keith Red Ale, a Caribou, an icewine, a NewFoundland Screech or a Canadian Club Whisky, then you know you've been born in a great country !!


I am still very proud to be Canadian.

Being born in Quebec makes it a little more challenging. We are being perceived as being a little different from other Canadians. And perhaps we are.

But today, from Coast to Coast, we are ALL Canadians. From head to toe.


And we stand together.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA !!!
