Starting with the very first
question. What does it feel to be a Canadian? Does it feel like you are living
your life with all the comforts you need? Or does it feel to be a fine fettle?
Well, the list goes on in a good sense and I am sure it won’t reach an end.
When suddenly the word ‘Canada’
pops up in my find, the first thing I remind myself is of their good people
with sweet and calm nature. And I am sure everyone out there feels the same.
Isn’t it the good thing that Canadians have a very amiable and down-to-earth
personality? They seem friendly with everyone around them, belonging to
different culture or cast, they accept people for who they are. Maybe that’s
why visitors or immigrants never feel bad about Canada or Canadians. I bet no
one can resist for loving people with such good qualities.
If you are an adventurous person
and love to explore new things, then Canada is surely the place. It’s
breathtaking places and heart throbbing monuments and buildings provide you a
full packet of thrill and adventure, worthy of your time and money. The
magnificent and stunning lakes of Muskoka (Ontario) can compel anyone who loves
such thing. A recent study of National Geographic revealed that Muskoka has
been the top tourist destination throughout the summer.
Apart from that, some important
names of the world are also Canadian. True that being a Canadian also has some
downsides. But isn’t it the part of other countries too? Of rather looking at
the negativities, look at all the positive aspects that Canada brings you to.
People have some expectations
from a country, they always want something from it, regardless of knowing that
what they owe to their state. Well, how Canada fulfills the expectations, I
have summed up 10 of the drastically unbelievable features of Canada that make
it a darling state among other countries. Voila!
1. Our Peace-loving Prime Minister:
Seeing the state of America with
Donald Trump, surely makes you feel blessed to have Justin Trudeau as a prime
minister if you understand what my point is. Canada feels safe and sound after
getting a high standard and intellectual leader. And it’s a good change after
Stephen Harper era. Trudeau is really concerned about his people. His
communication purely reveals that. His attitudes towards the change for the
country, and how to go on with them, makes him a prominent politician. In
short, he is not a man with hard-core personality.
2.
Hockey-Dokey:
On a ringing note of sadness,
despite being a country from where the emergence of Hockey began, we can’t have
a Stanley Cup for some time. Unfortunately, it is always America who get that.
It is recorded that some of the very talented hockey players belong to Canada.
Including our phenomenon players are the likes of Gretzky, Sakic, Toews,
Stamkos and others. Hockey is full of Canadian talent. Hockey is yet a simple
and easy game with no less entertainment, apart from America’s love for
baseball.
3. Rocky Labels with Canadians:
Did you ever come across people
who called you an orthodox? Well, it’s not a shame. Ask yourself if knowing
your mistakes and apologizing isn’t a good thing, then what else is. Because
it’s okay to be like that and when you can easily introduce yourself as a
Canadian, people with good heart and friendship, it conquers all. At least, we
don't belong to much big-headed stereotypes. So, shout out to all the Canadians!
4. Marijuana with Legitimation:
One of the very good acts of
Trudeau is the emphasis on banning the unauthorized use of marijuana. And it is
hopefully supposed to be practiced in the coming years. Though lately, but
people start understanding it after a legitimation in Colorado on marijuana.
This act of concerned can change the face of Canada with a good luck. And it is
expected that people start taking it as prescribed by the doctor for any
medication, and not for just fun.
5. Food for All:
Just like other countries, Canada
has its own unique taste to soothe your taste buds. True that people love
eating ketchup chips from Lay’s, but there are other places and things also.
Having a yummilicious chocolate and Timbits on freezing days of December can
make your day just fit and fine. And, I
bet if you are a foodie, then you cannot stop yourself from trying these all at
least for once. I have also heard that America fails to have a maple syrup
(Oops!)
6. Clean and Fresh Air:
Everybody loves to enjoy the
serene environment filled with cool and fresh air. That would be very hard if
you live in a very crowded place with an unhygienic environment. But God bless
Canada, there is no such difficulty here. We don’t have such issues to ponder
over. 2011 study rated Canada on the 3rd cleanest country in the world. Apart
from that, Whitehorse; a capital city of Yukon, has been ranked by Guinness
Book of World record as a place where there is negligible air pollution on the
whole planet.
7. Recreational Places in Canada:
If you are a fun-loving person
and enjoy nature, then Canada is surely your home to be. As the hot wind starts
spreading in the country, people pack their goods to visit different lakes. A
2013 report said that almost 3 million lakes are present in Canada, which is
indeed a big number. About one-third of all the world’s water supply goes from
Ontario. Nanaimo, B.C, has a forest with the big and 800 years old Fir trees,
called “Cathedral Grove”. After a big shout of Olympics in 2010, everybody now
knows about the extraordinary athletic peoples of Canada.
8. We are Hilariously Beautiful
People:
A good laugh is always a cure for
any frustration. If we are known as a people who have apologizing nature then
we are also a people who can make you laugh till your stomach hurts. We have
many comedians there in Hollywood who are representing Canada in a genre of
comedy, in which include Seth Rogen, and Jay Baruchel. Our 80s and 90s comedian
Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, and John Candy are our absolute pride. An included plus
point in it is Lorne Michaels, who is the mastermind behind SNL.
9. Our Amazing Health-Care Sector:
Well, a good health conquers all.
But when you get a disease in a country like Canada, an amazing design
healthcare sector is there to help you. Even a simple appendix surgery in
America cost a huge amount of $55,029.31! But in Canada you don’t have to worry
about bills and huge fees of hospitals, rather you just be concerned for your
health because in Canada a simple appendix removal won’t cause you a big fat
envelop of money. It is simply a wow!
10. Mouth-Watering Poutine:
Poutine is yet another proud of
Canada. If you have any doubt ask a Canadian to know how delicious they look
and how mouth-watering they are. Traditionally it is made with gravy, fries,
and cheese on top. But nowadays it also comforts your taste buds if taken with
meat and egg. Though it is also available in other places also I am sure you
would enjoy having it here. I am sure after reading it, all the foodie-Canadian
start craving for it.
On a quick review, they are just
a few things I have featured. Canada has many much things hidden in its chest
that surely fascinate and captivate you. So, cheers to all Canadian out there!
