The World Needs More Canada

From the Indigo Bookstore at Eaton Centre in Toronto.

The world needs more Canada! I am supporting this wholly great sovereign nation against those from my country, the United States, who want to do harm to it.

The World Today

Today is the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 riots on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. It looks like Trump got away with that one. Also, congress certified Trump’s election in November 2024. All of that sucks. I hate Donald Trump.

Justin Trudeau announced he is stepping down as Canada’s prime minister and Labour Party leader. I like Justin, he’s cool. I don’t relish the Conservative Party leader Pierre Polievere being elected in March or April.

I am sure there are other things to be in a tizzy about. I don’t think I want to hear them. But the day isn’t over yet.

Happy Boxing Day – December 26th

Boxing Day, the traditionally British holiday recognized the day after Christmas, offers an extension of the festivities. People in countries like Canada, the U.K. and South Africa spend an extra day with friends, shopping or watching sports.

It’s origins come from a time during Queen Victoria’s reign when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants – a day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

To all celebrating I hope it has been a good day of being with those you love and care about.

Dear Canada, I Love You

I am an American who is very very pro-Canadian. They are going through some things right now including some national political turmoil and being bullied by Donald Trump. I will always stand with Canada and Canadians.

Observing Remembrance, Sacrifice, and Service

Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.

If I Could Live Anywhere, Canada It Would Be!

Daily writing prompt
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

This question is an easy one. Canada. I love Ontario and have visited Toronto, Brampton, and Niagara Falls. I would also entertain New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island. Calgary looks like an interesting place. I hear Montreal is beautiful too but I am not bilingual. Saskatchewan would be interesting too especially Regina.
