Michael Coren is a little (ok a lot) too fiscally liberal for me, but he always makes good points about this kind of thing. Kinda depressing...

Now I will receive a flood of e-mails calling me a traitor and telling me to go home. I will. Home is a nice house in nice Toronto in nice Canada. Thing is, I want more than "nice." I want good, noble, moral, selfless and proud. Happy Canada Day weekend.

Well... (counting fingers) none out of five. Sorry, Canada. As long as you look across the Atlantic rather than across your southern border for inspiration, you'll participate in the Eurodecay of our old cousins.

The guy is too hard on his country. Canada has plenty of culture. Why, I often cross the border to Fort Erie to watch the Canadian Ballet.

The workers flag that shrouds our dead,
In all it's folds is colored red...

It's the socializm stupid! Kick out the commies, take back your country, and you'll get the good things back.

Now we need to take that advice ourselves.

Too much fuss made about Canada, After all...they are only 26 million people.

But I guess it would be nice if those 26 million people had a good attitude about their freedom-loving neighbors to the South.

Canada Day? Its one of those quirks of history where a country gets a day. No one would call it Independence Day for in 1867, British North America became a Dominion that remained a part of the British Empire. There was in fact no Canadian citizenship until 1949. Every one before then was born and died a British Subject in Her Majesty's Dominion. To underscore the point, July 1st 1867, became known until 1982 as Dominion Day. Canada was a country that didn't bring home its Constitution from the Mother Country til then. Its flag was the Red Canadian Ensign until 1964. It had two anthems and two languages. Can any one really speak of Canada Day in a positive sense? Get Canadians together and its doubtful you'll find a sense of positive attachment to a national identity. Canada is still by and large a work in progress.

Well, the column was OK, if a little obvious, but I liked the Sunshine Girl better.

Ahh...here's a pat on the hand for all Canadians. You guys are really good folks, all in all.

We are found amusing rather than admirable,

Yeah, I find myself laughing at Canada a lot!
