I am Canadian

Yesterday was Canada Day. And it was awesome. i love seeing 5000 people all stand and sing our national anthem when its not a baseball game. going to the fireworks at the waterfront last night gave me the chance to see it again.
As a Canadian, there are a lot of different cultures that make up our country. Multi culturism is what makes this country so great. So many different cultures coming together to form an awesome country. I am Canadian. And very proud of it. I was born on the right coast, have lived on the left coast (almost - Alberta!!), and now reside right smack in the middle. I am proud of what this country has to offer and what this country has offered in the past. On the world stage, we are known as peacekeepers, and i like that. My heart swells with pride when i hear that. My country is known worldwide as a country that helps to keep the peace. Our neighbours to the south of us are a fiercely proud country. Their national pride is tough to beat. With July 4th coming up this weekend, i also want to say i am proud to be a North american.
Happy Canada Day and Happy fourth of July.
What makes you proud to be Canadian? Or North American? Or American (for my southern friends)?
