Why I'm Proud to be Canadian
There is so much I love about Canada, so much I appreciate about being raised here, about living here my whole life. Growing up, I was exposed to different cultures, races, and religions. I was taught to appreciate and respect each one of them for their beauty, diversity and what they had to teach us as a cohesive group of people. I am so grateful to have been brought up in such a tolerant country. Yes I use the word tolerant, even accepting, of the many differences that exist between groups of people. As we look at our history and recognize the ugly things that happened there, we need to learn from our mistakes and repair damages done, while also remembering how great our country truly is. Let's stop comparing ourselves and our country to some non-existent standard of perfection and recognize that, relative to most of the countries on this planet, Canada has done an incredible job of unifying a diverse population around a progressive set of values. Values that were lacking in parts of our history and continue to be found lacking in most of the world today. Some of these points have been discussed in my social media posts, but their importance is worth reiterating (Instagram: @unpopularthoughtscanada) . Here are some of the reasons why I am proud to be Canadian:

A little bit about Gananoque and why I recommend you visit after the pandemic! This small Ontario town in the Leeds and Grenville vicinity is one of the most popular places for summer tourists! Gananoque is the entry to the Thousand Islands and is internationally acknowledged as one of the most enchanting waterfront communities. Gananoque, also known as the Noq, the Gan and the Gateway to the Thousand Islands is a phenomenal destination for people from all walks of life, including business professionals and residents, not just tourists. Just like in urban cities like Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto, Gananoque has tons of restaurants for people to dine in, all kinds of indoor and outdoor activities to enjoy with friends and family, stores to shop in as well as places to stay in. If you prefer towns and villages over major cities, Gananoque is a perfect place to escape from the city and give yourselves a pleasant vacation in the beauty of nature! You can make many beautiful memories during your stay in Gananoque, Ontario!

From the weather-swollen planks of the picnic table, I watch them come up from the lake. Sometimes alone. More usually in groups. Young couples give way to young families, followed by squawking teenagers. At the back, old people cling to one another, taking their time on the slow rise to the car park.

Ghosts, Gold, and Gratitude in BC’s Most Popular Park
As soon as I climbed into the boat, I knew it was a mistake. Not all kayaks are created equal. Some are heavy and slow, but almost untippable. Others are light and fast and precarious. Ever the gentleman, I let my wife’s nervousness convince me to offer her the steadier kayak. And while she paddled off contentedly over the lake’s green water, I launched myself from the beach and almost instantly capsized.

Chilliwack Lake is nowhere near Chilliwack And Chilliwack is nowhere near anything. It takes an hour to reach the town where I live from Vancouver, and another hour to reach the lake that shares its name.

I never really know what I’m doing It’s better that way. Once you achieve mastery of something, there’s nowhere to go but down. Besides, I’m the kind of man who’s pathologically incapable of asking for directions. I’d rather be lost.

Since Covid-19 made its appearance in 2019, many changes continue to be made to our everyday world. We recently heard on the news that Kananaskis Country will now be placing a fee for visiting there, and you can pay either by the day or buy a yearly pass. This is if the Land Amendments Act (Bill 64) passes which it probably will. Right now the fees don't seem to be a large amount; but as we know once the hooks are in, they only grow. I have always used the mountains as my escape from the city and harshness of city life, and last year went hiking weekly from June till November, so this news was not the most welcome I've ever heard.

The Wilderness Belongs to the Weird
The stones are quiet here When I sat like this on the beach in Nice, the stones growled and cracked and rumbled like placid thunder. I sat with my back to the Promenade where the murders happened and watched the sun merge with its own watery reflection. The round pebbles sang with each departing wave.

“Hey!” My voice bounced back from the corroded concrete of the low bridge above the water. Not the best echo I’ve ever heard, but something. A reflection of sound like the reflection of light shining in a thousand tiny pockets of the water’s surface. And if light was as slow as sound, or if our eyes were quicker, the whole world would echo whenever we looked at it.
