I love my country, and I love to travel.
I’m proud to be Canadian. Each time I’m asked when I travel where I’m from, I push my chest out and proudly say, “I’m Canadian.”
Being Canadian means being respected for being kind, generous, but tough and most of all giving.
Being Canadian means:
- Stopping our car in the middle of the street to let a pedestrian cross (with no crosswalk).
- Saying sorry when someone bumps into us.
- And saying yes, we’ll fight for freedom for others when we are asked.
Never have I been prouder than when I spent a day in Vimy Ridge, France. Seeing where my forefathers accomplished what no other army could do in the First World War and win the battle at Vimy Ridge.
I’m proud of where we’ve been, and where our country is headed.
You know it must be a cool country when people from other countries put a Canadian Flag on their backpack when they travel … when they aren’t Canadian.
