Oh Canada...Eh!


What a gorgeous day it was for Canada celebrations, I unexpectedly spent my day at Mississauga city hall and it was pretty fun. I have never really gone to Canada day celebrations in Mississauga except for once when I had to perform but even on that day I still didn’t stick around after. We walked around and watched the entertainment ( Chinese dragon dancers, martial arts school, variety show… etc)
Later on in the evening they had performances by Kreesha turner & Sloan and to finish off the evening right a spectacular show of fireworks right above city hall … Okay well maybe not so spectacular but its was LONGGG.
I thought that the fire works would be kind of limited and maybe 5 10 minutes but nooo not at all. The fire works display went on for what looked like 30 minutes or so, and that’s when I thought “Hey that where my dad money for taxes goes” I’m sure those fireworks didn’t come cheap.

Being a first generation Canadian born, I can say that although I am proud of my heritage I’m also really proud to be Canadian. So what makes us so different or unique from out neighbors to the south? What makes us Canadian? So I’ve composed a small list of things Canadian invented, made or inspired.
Maple Leaf, Beaver, Timbits, Maple Syrup, Poutine, Nanimo Bars, Back Bacon, Lacrosse, Hockey, Basketball, Insulin, Walkie Talkies, Zippers, Roller Skates, Toques, Cuban vacations, Metric Measurements, Robertson Screwdriver, IMAX, Cirque du Soleil, Loonie, Toonie, Canadian Tire money, Winnie the pooh and Superman are all things CANADIAN!!!

Oh, and we cant forget Joe's canadian speech....
Enjoy and Happy CANADA Day to All !

Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader, and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dog sled, and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, not American, and I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peacekeeping, not policing; diversity, not assimilation; and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.

A tuque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced zed: not zee – zed!!
Canada is the second largest land mass! The first nation of hockey! And the best part of North America!

My name is Joe!! And I am Canadian!
... Thank you
