Happy Canada Day!!!
Today Canada turns 142 years old! How lucky we are to live in such a beautiful, safe country.
Here’s a few tidbits about Canada you may not know:
Canadians:
- Eat better than the French
- Are more wealthy than the Americans
- Have more lovers than the Italians
- and Live longer than the Swedes (source: Maclean’s magazine, July 06/09 edition)
Canada ranks #1 in vacation spots and often we, as Canadians forget that and travel overseas or down south. Let’s rediscover Canada!
Here are a few pictures to share…although I’ve never been to the East Coast, so that’s one place I’ll have to visit first!

Happy Canada Day! (and Happy Birthday to my sister…yup she gets fireworks on her birthday every year!)
