Happy Canada Day 2018

Wishing everyone a very happy Canada Day this July 1, 2018. Thank goodness I was lucky enough to have been born Canadian - the first one in my family. I feel very proud of this country, even more so each day as we look to our southern neighbours.

This is my favourite Canadian song https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1094807513&feature=iv&src_vid=upsZZ2s3xv8&v=4JUDBJkeFNY
