I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.
- John Diefenbaker (From the Canadian Bill of Rights, July 1, 1960.)

Canada is probably the most free country in the world where a man still has room to breathe, to spread out, to move forward, to move out, an open country with an open frontier. Canada has created harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups, and it must take this experience to the world because there is yet to be such an example of harmony and cooperation among ethnic groups.
- Valentyn Moroz

What is a Canadian? A Canadian is a fellow wearing English tweeds, a Hong Kong shirt and Spanish shoes, who sips Brazilian coffee sweetened with Philippine sugar from a Bavarian cup while nibbling Swiss cheese, sitting at a Danish desk over a Persian rug, after coming home in a German car from an Italian movie... and then writes his Member of Parliament with a Japanese ballpoint pen on French paper, demanding that he do something about foreigners taking away our Canadian jobs.

Awww come on, you've seen this before. :happy2:

Ok, it involves something that looks like a bowling lane, only the lanes are made of ice. People throw something down it that looks like a shinny rock with a handle. Sometimes one or two people will sweep in front of the rock to prevent something from it slowing down, as it glides down the lane. I think it's similar to shuffel board, because you need to hit the other rocks out of your way. I've never played...here's a link if you can't stand to live another day without know all about this sport http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Curling.
