Canada's Birthday

(Image taken from the internet)

I really like the country I live in.

Not unlike most people liking the country they live in.

It is far from perfect my country Canada.

However I am perfectly happy living here.

Canada is a very large country.

I believe it is the second largest country in the world.

One would think that because it is so big 

Canada would have the second largest population.

It doesn't.

I think there are around 35 million people here.

Now spread that out from coast to coast to coast

and that leaves a lot of room to move about

without bumping into anybody.

There is so much room to breathe in Canada.

And for that I feel very fortunate that my ancestors chose it.

There are times when you can be the only one around

not having to worry about claiming a spot.

Did I say it wasn't perfect?

Well, what country is?

But we are getting there.

Today Canada celebrates its 147th birthday.
