Dear Canada,

I have a major crush on you :)
I have only seen a little bit of you: Vancouver, British Columbia, Saint John, Saint Martins, and other parts of New Brunswick, Halifax, and all over Nova Scotia and I love you a lot.
Three words that I would use to describe you:
1. happy
2. beautiful
3. peaceful
Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trips to Canada:


















I love the way you do things. 
 You run so smoothly and peacefully.
I love all of your parks
I love how spell colour and favourite
I love your sugar maple candies
I love your flowers
I love putting eh? at the end of a question
I love your smiles
I love how your money is called loonies and toonies :)  I smiled every time I heard that.
I love how no one in Vancouver had heard of crab ragoon
I ESPECIALLY love all of my favorite Canadian blog friends <3
I just really admire you Canada :)
Love,
Janel

    I also have a major crush on Canada :) and next year I will be participating again in the Canadian Book Challenge, are you doing it as well?

    But there's two things I don't like about that country one bit... 1/ how they treat First Nations people (their stories are heartbreaking, especially when one meets and hears them face to face) and 2/ the apalling way they deal with seals :(

    No country is perfect, I guess.

    Gorgeous pictures, by the way.

  4. Nice post Janel! I am proud to be Canadian, it really is a beautiful place, and a great place to live.

    I have a great admiration for all First Nations people, (being part Metis myself). I thought they were represented well at this past olympic games.

    If you ever travel through Manitoba, let me know!! :)

    Ps: what is crab ragoon?
