O, Canada!...God keep [y]our land glorious and free!
Greetings from a cousin to the south.
We have visited friends in Burlington Ontario for the last several Canada Days but will not this year, and we will miss the celebration on the lake front.
Several years ago the MP for the district addressed the crowd, saying in her opening remarks..."Canada, the envy of the world".
I was stunned; as a citizen of the USA I had thought my country was that.
And then I realized with our dollar shaky, our national debt increasing daily, and our military commitment in 100 countries around the world we might no longer deserve that encomium.
I wish you all a joyous celebration of your remarkable nation.
