Tell America It's Great (Right Back At Ya, Canada)


"All the warm lighted windows below in the town"...

   When we fly to England, we fly from Atlanta and so, the plane goes along the Eastern part of the country. Recently, when we visited, it was clear and I was able to make out the rivers of Pittsburgh, the Capitol in Washington D.C. and in New York City, the tall skyscrapers.  When those giant buildings came into my view, I marveled at the beauty of it all, even from such a distance.

America! You have been through so much lately.  I am thinking that this country could use a little love.  Well, guess what, our neighbors to the north are doing just that.  Have you seen this video that Canadians have made for Americans?  After I watched this, it made me think...when someone does something for you and you say, "That was so NICE", instead we should say, "That was so CANADIAN"!



Oh Canada!  May I say for my country, thank you! We needed that!

  3. Thanks Canada! I think our country is great and when you travel from sea to shining sea you are humbled at the beauty and awed at the history and stories from those who came to find freedom and those who fight to keep it. Thanks for a lovely uplifting post! The country needed to hear this!

    1. I saw this on the BBC, it takes our news one or two days to get things! 😀 I thought it was great, sweet and funny.

  5. We hate to look south and see your country going crazy. That's what inspired this video.

    1. I see things on the Beeb more often because I read it online. Cannot stand much news shows these days but the CBS Sunday morning show is an exception.

  8. Most Americans are close to being as proud of our nearest neighbors as we are of our own country. North America is a great continent and that means that the whole of it is great.

  9. I have ALWAYS loved Canadians. I found that they always seemed to know more about our politics than most Americans.
