Canada is great because of the land and its people. Not its politicians. Don't let anyone tell you any different
Yesterday, a friend of mine
took a moment to wish everyone a Happy
Canada Day, along with the comment, ‘I have to say I love our beautiful country’. He also included a story, he’d come across, entitled:
Canada Has Officially
Ranked #1 In the World for Best Quality Of Life ... our second year in a row of being the best!
An individual commented
on this post, and stated, “We
were at one time. Trudeau is working on making us last.”
Dave disagreed saying
... Funny thing about that. Most politicians just want to get elected, so
truth doesn't matter.
They will tell you
whatever they think you are willing you believe. And, that the other candidate /
party is sending us to hell in hand-basket is exactly what they want you to
believe, he
continued.
The truth is, if we
spent less time listening to and believing the political venom, they all spout
about each other, we’d be able to spend more time getting to know our
neighbours and working together --- we would be a lot better off.
But that's the very
thing many politicians fear the most. Got to keep us divided so we don't
realize they are redundant, their time has come and gone.
Canada is great
because of the land and its people. Not its politicians. Don't let anyone tell
you any different.
Well that got the first
individual to thinking ... in a positive way as he responded:
“You are 100% correct. We all need to stand together. Politics is now a blood sport and we are the victims. Truly, Happy Canada Day!”
“You are 100% correct. We all need to stand together. Politics is now a blood sport and we are the victims. Truly, Happy Canada Day!”
And so, peace and goodwill rang out, at least in one part of the
country – however I think for at least one day, it was right across the land.
One last weird thing ... I know there were fireworks last night, so I
could have been wrong and mistaken ...
But I heard John A. exclaim, as
the CPR headed down the tracks,
HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-YEAR!
HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-YEAR!
And, thats what I love about Canada Day!
