The Sleeping Giant
I love this list! Being a Westerner, now, I feel I should add a few:
1. Victoria's inner harbour
2. BC ferries
3. The summer fireworks at Butchart Gardens
4. Banff National Park
5. Valdy
6. Beacon Hill Park
7. Tofino's ocean waves
Fossils! Whales! Cherries! Peaches! Apples! Strawberries from the freezer 'cause you been strawberry picking.
Glad to see Ottawa with a high spot on the list! I miss my old hometown.
Great list! I'll add:
Same-sex marriage
Arcade Fire
sumac trees bright red in the fall
Guy Vanderhaeghe
Shaun Majumder
Guy Maddin
Barbara Gowdy
Sandbanks Provincial Park
How great spring feels after a long winter!
T'is a grande list, Mel. I must think more about this, but the things I love about Canada, now that I've spent more time back east and in the US, include, surprisingly, a lot of food:
*our mountains & greenery & fresh air (Okay, maybe that's just BC ;))
*'gun control'ishness
*'socialized' medicine despite its current problems (hmm... thank Micheal Moore for revising that antiquated term)
*ginger ale
*liberte french vanilla yoghurt (though you can get liberte in the states, they use US milk which isn't as good)
*fromage quebecoise!
*wild salmon
*chocolate made without high fructose
*our 'Canadian' accents (seriously; we sound pretty-like)
*excellent diversity and affordability of great restaurants
*the CWC!
