Happy Canada Day to all you Canadians.

What a wonderful time to reflect the many blessings we have here as Canadians.

One of the things I am most proud of is how we pay tribute to each and every fallen hero when he/she comes home to Canada. Here is a clip of what is done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3IutxvltBM

Now here is list of the top 50 things invented by Canadians... yes basketball IS one of them lol
