My Canada

I AM CANADIAN !

"I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader.

I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled.

And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a prime minister, not a president.

I speak English and French, not American. And I pronounce it about, not aboot.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.

I believe in peacekeeping, not policing. Diversity, not assimilation.

And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal.

A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch. And it is pronounced zed, not zee, zed.

Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey and the best part of North America.

English is the official (and majority) language in most provinces of Canada.

French is the official language of Quebec, an official language of New Brunswick, and is spoken in various areas throughout the country.

Several Aboriginal languages have official status in the Northwest Territories; Inuktitut is the majority language in Nunavut and has official status there.

Canada is a technologically advanced and industrialized nation. It is a net exporter of energy because of its large fossil fuel deposits, nuclear energy generation, and hydroelectric power capacity.
