When we were at camp this past weekend, there were a few families from other countries that had moved here. One night while Jonathan and I were sitting outside we overheard two guys talking about moving here from Germany. This is how it went (imagine two guys with German accents):
"My dad was always worried about the Russians rolling in with their tanks at any moment. That's why he wanted to move here. Once he was here he never worried about that again." (the older fellow)
"Yeah, there's no need to worry here!" (younger guy)
"This is the country of individual rights, freedoms... No need to worry here." (the older fellow)
It was amazing to here our country described as such, especially so close to Canada Day. As Canadians, we know that this is true. We forget. At least I do. This was a good reminder about why Canada is such a great place to live. On this day, let us remember how blessed we are to live in such a wonderful place.
Happy Canada Day!!
