Just for the heck of it... because it's Canada Day...

Ten Good Things About Canada

1. Water. Clean water, and plenty of it: oceans, ice floes, falls, Great Lakes, and wide rivers.
   
2. Gay marriage. A country where "equal rights" means equal rights.
   
3. Paul Gross, Roy Dupuis, Grace Park, Tahmoh Penikett, Christopher Plummer, Amanda Tapping, Tricia Helfer, Nick Mancuso, Taylor Kitsch, Michael Shanks, Donald and Keifer Sutherland, Sebastian Spence, Eric Schweig, Keanu Reeves, Ryan Reynolds, Rachel McAdams, Colm Feore, Patrick Huard, Kevin Zegers, Tom Rooney, and so many other Canadian actors whose work I have enjoyed and admired.
   
4. Kindness is a national passtime.
   
5. Michael Bublé, Jill Barber, Cowboy Junkies, Leonard Cohen, and all the great Canadian music.
   
6. Antonine Maillet, Margaret Lawrence, Jane Rule, and Karin Lowachee. Canadian writers whose work I love.
   
7. Multiculturalism.
   
8. Our history. We don't like wars.
   
9. Wild strawberries and blueberries, especially the ones that grow in Nova Scotia.
   
10. Some of the best scenery anywhere.
