Canada Day comes July 1st - What Canada Means to Me

 

 

What Canada means to me is the vastness of the land. Second from China Canada is a land that from Newfoundland which is on the Atlantic to the North Islands of that border the Pacific. From each province within a land, mass Canada retains the largest natural resources within the world. Having been within each province within this era of time, Canada is no longer a frontier within its inception Canada is a country, which came to be by the roots of its heritage with the crown. Even though Canada is a young country with came into being in 1880’s. From those whom here on the lands from times long ago, to that of every person seemingly not taking Canada too serious.

From the east to the west and from the south to the very north Canada envelopes a nation of many cultures as well was that of the first of many innovations.  Canada has come to being a country, which never has lead – more so on of that of people whom think before they speak. The symbolic flag of Canada changed within the sixties to that of red and white with a maple leaf within the middle. At this time it was symbolic and within order of what a leader thought to be appropriate within the times of which he was a leader. As there came to be a change and transition within that time. As with every country, Canada is people. From one corner of the country, there is an array of different accents as well as traditions. To know Canada is to understand Canada. As within the land there spans a fabric of many different accents as well as many different people. Segregation within the nation of Canada has never been a predominant area. Even the Spanish had not only fled into parts of United States they had small colonies within British Columbia.

I thought I would share some historical pinpoints on as we are coming into what is Canada's Birthday. Canada shall be 144 years of age come July 1^st. I thought I would share some points on Canada. As within history, Canada has played a silent yet well respected role within this world.

1.      The leader whom introduced universal health care around the world was a man by the name of Tommy Douglas – which so long ago he thought that each person within the land should have health care.

The very first cancer treatment for Cancer by way of technology was by way of Tommy Douglas. It was called the cobalt radiation machine.
