1. Surviving winter for 46 years. Winters that last from mid-September to mid-May. Winters that include -40 degrees WITHOUT windchill. Winters that have 6 1/2 hours of daylight. I fucking hate it, except when my wood box is full, the Oilers are ahead by two goals with 2 minutes left in the third, the driveway is plowed and I have a full glass of wine, on my couch, with my husband and my dogs.
2. Beer commercials. Nothing brings a tear to my eye and elevates my national pride more than a Molson Canadian commercial. I. Am. Canadian.
3. Our history defending our country and other Commonwealth countries. I love when I hear our neighbors to the south say that WW2 was from 1941-1945. Actually bitch, it was 1939 until 1945. We joined the party 2 years prior to Pearl Harbour. I have nothing but respect for people who have served past and present.
4. Canadian rock. Bryan Adams, Nickleback, Gordon Lightfoot (Sundown - all time favourite), Hedley, Streetheart (RIP Kenny Shields), Trooper, Our Lady Peace, Tragically Hip (Richard Goudie that ones for you), Tom Cochrane, Alanis Morisette .....the list goes on.
5. Terry Fox. I think the older I get the prouder I become of him. I'm amazed by his dedication, perseverance and courage.
Okay now a couple things that unimpress me:
1. Our political correctness. Have the balls to say no, this is bullshit. Quit worrying about everyone's feelings. Put on your big girl panties Canada and tell people to fuck off. Or sit down and let me do it
2. Socialism. Seriously, is this a fad? Like getting a Jack Russell? Or a hybrid car? I seriously cannot wrap my head around socialism.
3. Karla Homolka. Need I say more? That sick, twisted bitch walks free?! And has children?! Canada?! What went wrong!
4. Tim Hortons. I'm sorry, this will offend many but I really don't care for the coffee. And every time there is a Roll Up The Rim to Win contest the garbage is ridiculous.
5. We built a UFO landing pad and to my knowledge there has not been any landings?! Do they not know we are Canadian and we are the friendliest fucking people in the world? My only explanation is that they too must not care for Timmy's coffee......
