Hommage to the Maple Leaf...

 Here is another printable for all you patriotic Canadians, or those of you that love Canada, in honour of the 144 years to be celebrated next friday, July 1st.

I also wanted to include the video of the Canadian crooner, singing "The Maple Leaf Forever" with pictures from the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceremony and the song can be found on the soundtrack to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, "Sounds of Vancouver 2010: Closing Ceremony Commemorative Album", it is track #10 (bet you didn't know that each Olympics had their own soundtrack). "The Maple Leaf Forever is a song written by Alexander Muir, shortly after Confederation in 1867. The song is an unofficial anthem to Canada.

Ciao for now,

Happy Birthday Canada!!!

Happy Canada Day!

Well, it is a big day for Canadians and my family is celebrating with our red and white clad bodies.
This great nation is 143 years old as being the true north, strong and free!
As a Canadian, I want to thank the men and women, serving this great nation both overseas & here at home.

We are blessed to live in such a nation where our freedom can be taken for granted on many levels without us even knowing.

So today I honour those people both new to Canada as well as those who have deep roots embedded in this great nation's earth for generations.

From the veterans who freed nations to the newest member born today in one of our great hospitals...Canada is our home.

Happy 143rd Birthday Canada!
