It's great to be proud of your country, There's only one thing that is sad, It could be the best place on earth, If you only had Toerag. Seriously for only a minute, (that's the most I can offer in one year)...this is a beautiful tribute to your homeland, I admire anyone with that kind of patriotism. |

What a wonderful tribute to our homeland. We DO have so much to offer not to mention that Americans get an extra 56 cents on every dollar they spend here  . This land is so rich in culture, scenery and what I love best is all the nationalities that live together in harmony (no guns here folks). Earth Angel - thank you for a reminder how lucky I am to live here. ~* Oh Canada, We Stand On Guard For Thee *~ |

You'd think with my grandfather being Canadian I'd have been there. There is nothing nicer than to be proud of your homeland and to show it off. One day I'll get up there and when I do, I'm going to hopefully visit you all. Wonderful poem Sister. Huggles, Marti |

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country...emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country on earth I'm lovin' this poem, it's a keeper for sure. You should re-post this on Canada Day! God bless Canada and you for writing this take care from one sweet n'sassy Canuck!

One thing I will add that in this time of high unemployment this place still seems to attract many from the world over...am lucky to have been born here for this and other reasons...I wonder what got you to write this...nice poem. [This message has been edited by ecrivan (12-05-2002 11:15 PM).] |

Linda, it's wonderful to know that you people are so proud of your country. It sounds like a beautiful place...of the people and the scenery. I have a good friend who lives there now and she loves it. She married a Canadian. I've never been there, but hope to visit them one day. I'm like Martie, I wish I could meet all of you good people from here at PIP when I do come to visit. Thank you for this poem from your heart, sweet Linda. :squeeze "Love makes the world go around" |

I'm going on an 8hr. road trip to Canada this month. I am no stranger to the friendly sort you typically meet there. It's America minus some of the bs |

Mysteria ~ Yes, indeed! The American dollar is worth $1.56 here! Now that is an added incentive for our American friends to come on up here to visit--and to spend! hehe Sharon, with your fine talent and generosity of spirit i.e. helping the less fortunate, I'm proud to call you a fellow-Canadian! P.S. Your website is absolutely divine and I recommend anyone reading this reply, to check it out! ~ warm hugs from a sister Canadian Linda |
