I am proud to be Canadian. The reason I have for my pride is because my pride is not based on how we invaded other countries, or how compared to other countries how well we are doing. I look at my situation and that of the people around me. Of course, people will live on the moon and still have to find a way to make a living and do things with their time. But when a country is polite and friendly as Canada you know that overall the people must be happy. (Japan is the only other country I can think of that is soo polite, just look at their conduct during international sporting events and you will see what I mean) We know that at the end of the day, we live life not neccesarily the way it was meant to be lived but damn near close as any other people in history have come.
