I live in a great nation.
A place that has abundant natural beauty. A first-world nation with democracy, public health care, and an international reputation as a peaceful and helpful place.
I have the freedom to do and be and buy what I want. I can practice my own cultural and spiritual customs while still feeling a part of a greater whole.
There is running water, quality food, technology, and financial opportunity for all.
People can express themselves in a wide variety of mediums with a freedom I would not trade for anything.
We have great people who have made the world a better place through invention, innovation, research, art, and practical example.
And many people here never feel more patriotic than when watching a hockey game.
Perhaps that's precisely because they have so much more to cheer for than the players on the ice.
