Oh Canada

Collage, Acrylic and Pen


 
The compulsive voice inside my head loves List-it Tuesdays over at Artsyville .  Today's list is "What I Love about Where I Live".   I am proudly Canadian eh!  I live all the Canadian stereotypes.  Sorry if this offends you, but I'm unfailingly polite.  I would gladly invite you into my igloo (the door is never locked and always open) to pet my sled dog, and chinwag the benefits of being Canadian over a tall pint of Canadian Lager.  I would dress up all formal in my flannel and my toque, and serve you Peameal Bacon and poutine for dinner.  The play list would consist of Jane Arden, Tragically Hip, Alanis Morrissette, Shania Twain and the Rankins.. (Celine Dion is not Canadian, I'm pretty sure she's not even human, neither is Beiber... I digress).  It would be a golly gosh darn good evening of wholesome fun.   In no particular order
 
  •  Health Care
  • Freedom
  • The Great Lakes
  • Eh!?
  • Tim Hortons
  • Toronto
  • Niagara Falls - One of the seven natural wonders of the world in my backyard.
  • Cross-Border Shopping - Love tax free Pennsylvania!
  • Sound of Music Festival - Free musical awesomeness!
  • Peace
  • Monarch Butterflies. Once a year I stroll down the streets with thousands of monarchs by my side.  It's pretty magical.
  • Colourful Money
  • Laurentian Mountains
  • Tragically Hip
  • Mounties
  • Maple Anything (Bacon, Syrup, Doughnuts, Trees, just not the Leafs :0)
  • Hockey
  • Democracy
  • Canada's Wonderland - who doesn't love a stomach dropping pulse pounding roller coaster?
  • Same Sex Marriages - Love who you want, it's a free world.
  • Breastfeeding Rights (Any time, Any Where)
 
I have to admit, I love where I live, there truly is No Place Like Home..
 
Off to See the Wizard,

    Awesome list! Sounds like you have everything wonderful! (I've been to the Canadian side of the Rockies and thought it was stunning) You don't like the leaves? : )

      Hi Lynn, oh I love leaves,... I don't like the Maple Leaf's (Hockey team lol) The Rockies are stunning, it was hard to come back to Ontario after visiting them. Banff and Jasper wow... unreal. Thanks for stopping by!

    I was supposed to be Canadian! I just know it!

    I love your list. :) (I became rather enamoured with Canada when I was a child, around 8 or 9 and that has never faded. Instead Canada - and Canadians - continue to impress me.)

    Great list and so happy to have found your blog through Aimee and the Tuesday list... I laughed at your blog name because I just blogged about a bloody kookaburra that is driving me crazy as an alarm clock lately...
    Hope you have a great week and I look forward to following along and hearing more from you... you have a great sense of humour
