Bill's Musings

I….am Canadian. I like to say sorry. No, I LOVE to say sorry when I haven’t done anything wrong, and also like it when fellow Canadians reciprocate. I like the fact that on some days I can use the furnace and the air conditioning the same day. I like how we DON’T say ‘aboot’ instead of ‘about’, but still chuckle when Americans think we do (they’re so adorable). I like how I don’t have to ‘pack …heat’ when going to the mall or the movies, and am ever hopeful that this remains so. I like spelling it ‘doughnut’ when I go to Tim’s (I also love Tim’s….so Canadian!). Being Canadian means religious freedom, political freedom, gender freedom (although there are still some bugs to work out, but we’re getting there)….There are a lot of issues that aren’t perfect, yes, for sure….but this morning, there was no Jihad to worry about, no Communist Government to placate, no dictator to duck from…I AM CANADIAN….thank the Universe for that!!!! © Bill Gingras 2014
