Post by: dmmb_Mandy on July 01, 2006, 04:02:55 am
I know we have several Canadians here at BetterMost, so I just wanted to take a moment to say "Happy Canada Day!" I love this beautiful country and I am very proud to be Canadian!

Oh, and while we're in the Canadian spirit, how about a hot (but awful) Canadian actor:

Merci Barb

Now let's draw a list & see if we can get the Canadians of BetterMost to come out of the woodwork.

There's:

Mandy (dmmb_Mandy), from St John's, Newfoundland (who got us started)

Bill (Seaweed727) from Nova Scocia - who's probably too busy to join us today, seeing as he's part organiser of a 12 000 + musical outdoor festival in his small (- 1 000 people) town

Nicole Ross, Toronto, Ontario - who hasn't posted since mid April
Chanterais, Toronto, Ontario - ditto, mid June
Me, Toronto, Ontario (BTW, I've never met either one of these ladies, but I've met Bill!)

Milli (Lucise), Calgary, Alberta - who claims to drink more than talk, on weekends (yea, right!) - now leading in the motormouth BeterMostian challenge
"Professor" Cassey Cornelius, Calgary, Alberta - who actually lurked here two days ago, but hasn't posted since early May

and the newbie (well to BetterMost, anyways) forsythia from British Columbia

and Pierre Tremblay an his wife (Nicole?) whom I've hear have posted here but I dunno ... - they are Canadians, right?

Anyhoot,

Happy Canada Day All


And anyone I missed, let us all know who you are, from where you hail, and let's celebrate together, hey?

I am Canadian!

Hey,
I am not a lumber jack 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 Suzie from Canada although I am certain they're really really nice, uh.
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 back pack,
I believe in peace keeping not policing, diversity not assimilation,
and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.
A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch.
And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed.
Canada is the second largest landmass,
the first nation of hockey,
and the best part of North America,
my name is Roland,
and I AM CANADIAN.


Thank You.

Happy Canada Day, Mandy, Roland, and Keanu! I also got to see John Laidler and Ted LeClaire when I was in Boston last month, super Canadians both of them!

Thanks Front-Ranger.  It turned out to be a good weekend in Ottawa. No rain!  I spent it with family and we had a great time celebrating.  I didn't go to Parliament Hill to watch the concert but I did watch it on TV.  The big hits, of course, were Carly Rea Jepsen of Call Me Maybe fame and astronaut Chris Hadfield who actually has a good singing voice.  The crowd went wild for both.

You guys missed Quebec's National Holiday on June 24th, but that's okay.  I'm not a big fan of nationalist holidays, seeing all those flags kind of freaks me out.  The first time I went to the US, I was just a kid, and what really made an impression was that all the houses had a flag flying in front.  I thought it was so strange and a bit frightening.  My father hated the states because at the time, we're talking the sixties here, they wouldn't accept Canadian money, even though it was worth more.

Sure do miss hearing from all these lovely Canadians, and Sherrif Roland. Maybe they'll come back when we have our 10-year celebrations!
