Happy Canada Day

This is the first time in 12 years that I actually remembered it was Canada Day, and that’s only because the advertising was inescapable. This is also the first Canada Day that the Wife has ever experienced.

So for all the Canadians, take heart and be proud. Believe me, after living over 10 years in Singapore I now have a much, MUCH more profound appreciation for what Canada has to offer, like being able to chew gum, criticizing the government without getting sued or getting arrested for engaging in homosexual activity. It may be cold, it may be big, but this country is more tolerant, open and free than any I’ve visited in the last decade and yes, that includes America.
