proud to be a Canadian ...

How often do we hear these words,
I am proud to be a Canadian
did you know that there have been
more donations to the Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund
from Canadians, than from any other country ...
did you know that in less than 24 hours
there were Canadians on Haitian soil
ready to assist and do what they could ...
people were preparing for the Olympics
ready to cheer on our athletes
and to go for the gold ...
and then the earthquake happened.
The world stopped in shock.
Today, 10 days later, the pulled an 84 year old woman
alive, from the rubble ...
a miracle
something to cheer about
certainly better than gold ...
and as the telethons start
to raise awareness and money
to help the people of Haiti
I hope that others also grab their Visa cards
and donate, even if only $5.00
but yes, I am
Proud to be Canadian ...
