Canada Day Rant

Too many people complain about Canada. Our taxes are too high, our government isn't doing what we want, it just isn't as perfect as we'd like it to be.

Of course it isn't perfect. And if you really don't like it, stop complaining and do something. Either work for change or go away. Personally, I plan to stay. I love Canada.

Despite some issues, we do have a better health care system than a lot of places. No one worries that they won't be able to pay when for childbirth.

The education system isn't perfect, but our children have the ability to get an education. Furthermore, there are options. There are different school boards you can try out, and no one will keep you from homeschooling if you don't want to send your children to school.

We need to keep an eye on religious freedoms, but right now we can meet whenever we want to worship God and to study His Word without fear of traitors and the police. We have Bible colleges and Christian schools. We can teach our children the truth without fear.

Granted, winters can be cold, but it gives us bragging rights! Plus...we have a remarkable lack of big, poisonous snakes, spiders, and other creatures.

And Canada is beautiful. It has wide open spaces, oceans, mountains, and amazing forests.

If you don't like Canada, I suggest you try living somewhere where the economy has tanked, the government will jail you (or kill you) for disagreeing with them, any "freedom of religion" is a myth and can get you killed, and your children (or maybe just your daughters) are denied an education. Then maybe you'll appreciate Canada.
