    Canada is immaculate.... many great actors and comedians came from Canada.... and some hotties, Ryan Gosling. :) My boyfriend and I visited Toronto recently and we seriously considered moving. I would still go in a heart beat.

    Hm, besides everything?

    Our health care
    The kind people
    kinder eggs
    The wild life
    The cabot trail
    Highlands Links Golf Course
    World-wide we're a rather liked country.
    Very diverse!

    My Dad was born in Holland in July 1939. Canadians liberated his village at the end of World War II, and he remembers the soldiers give him chocolate and chewing gum.

    I was lucky enough to be born here in 1966, to two first generation immigrant parents from Holland.

    That's why I love Canada.

    This is awesome.

    Just thought I'd mention.......Elton John and his Canadian hubby are in the middle of building their big giant house in Caledon, which is just NW of Toronto. Lots of celebrities (eg: Kurt Russell/Goldie Hawn among others) have cottages up in Muskoka. Canada is diverse.....whatever your heart desires...city life or country........we have it all.

    Elton and his hubby also have a condo in my town ;)

    Marrying relatives was mentioned in the first post and there has been no mention of Newfie sheep loving yet? This forum disappoints me.

    Why anywhere else in the world people refer to thick bacon as "Canadian Bacon"?

    I am Canadian and I have never had that type of bacon here!

    I'm not Canadian but since I live in Buffalo, I'm over there all the time. Just saw The Tragically Hip in concert this past weekend, love Strange Brew, and I think I know more radio jingles from Canada than from the states. It was a rainy day in Pizzaville....lol yea Canada Day!

    Everything listed in this thread *and* Canadian music! Too many to name, but my top ten off the top of my head: Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Feist, Sloan, Blue Rodeo, Sarah Harmer, Sarah McLachlan, Neil Young, The Band and The Stills!

    Happy Canada Day, everyone!

    (...and Happy almost 4th of July to our neighbours, too!)

    YES! Canadian music! Tragically hip, Arcade Fire, Mother mother, Metric, Nelly Furtado, Alanis Morrisette.....

    free health care

    this is also one of the only countries where you can protest freely. i know there are exceptions, but very very few protesters end up attacked by police here or in jail FOR LIFE. canada is pretty sweet in that regard.
