Has anyone seen the movie Meet me in St. Lois? One of my favorite parts shows Tuty, a little girl in the film, talking to the milk man and she says "St. Lois is my favourite town. Aren't I lucky to be born in my favorite town?" It's such a familiar sentiment, and I can't help but feel lucky to have been born in my favorite country. Yes, it's Canada.
Similar to the feelings regarding parents and siblings, I just know Canada is wonderful for so many reasons that I recognize are completely biased. Regardless, it was so fun to be home over Thanksgiving and just savor Canada.

The following is just a short love of those things I love most about the motherland:
- speed in kilometers
- temperature in celcius
- poutine (trust me its delicious & merits its own post)
- really big mountains
- really good chocolate
- universal health care
- loonies & yes, toonies
- the singer/musician Feist
- the friendliy giant
- the word "Zed"
Leah, I need a lesson on canada, I don't even know what 5 of the items on your list are... The friendly Giant and the word Zed??? And whatever this Poutine is I need to try it. If you say it's good then it's bound to be fantastic.
