something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

Canada, celebrating its 145th birthday today.

If I'm being ruthlessly honest, I'll admit that I am less proud of my country today than I have ever been before -- and I attribute this entirely to the [IMHO] un-Canada-like doings of our current federal administration -- but I am still grateful for all the good that comes of being able to live here. I pray that the aforesaid administration is only a bump in the road, and that the core of our national identity will endure.

the core of our national identity

How would you define that?

Someone more clever than I pointed out the irony that in the 100 anniversary year of the War of 1812, when we fought for our sovereignty, we are now giving it away.

Yup. Less than proud of our Federal government is a nice way to put it.

You still there John?
