Calling All Canadians!

[Seri]

Hi lo

Winnipeg here as well, good to see at least 3 other Winterpeggers here, I spent a few years living just outside of St.John's NF as well, although I prefer the prairies

Favorite Historical Moment.......hmm I'll have to think about it some more

Winnipegger as well, though I was born in Milton, Ontario, just outside of Toronto.

Hey, FraserRonald, I'm leaving the city for the tall ships too! My family picked the natal day/tall ship/acadian festival holiday to head to the cottage (unintentionaly). Ah well, IMO the Cabot Trail is just as exciting as a bunch of ships pulling into port while the downtown roads are ripped to shreds! Happy trails, and congrats, btw!

So, the Cabot Trail was a blast. We stayed at the Cheticamp campgrounds at Highlands National Park. Very nice. Great weekend.

So, where's the cottage? Have a good time?

I think missing the huge crowds downtown was likely a good idea.

Take care!

I gotta say it's nice to see that so many of EN World's best and brightest--being those posters whose names make me perk up and read a thread--are Canadian.

Big round of applause for us.

Born in Quesnel BC and now going to grad school in Prince George BC. Not a lot of BC guys/girls here


lots of moments in Canadian history makes me proud

Born in Ontario, lived most of my life in Calgary, living in Toronto now.

I'd have to say Vimy Ridge.

However, back then it represented our Golden Age in International Relations and would come to define our nation's foreign policy standards for three decades. Sadly its now a tarnished lump of gold we still cling to in vain.

That's probably because back then we still had a lot of power from the war. Huge navy (after the war it was the 3rd biggest), a ton of production that wasn't bombed to shreds, and natural resources galore. Canada was a very, very rich country after the war.

Oh I am well aware as to why it was one of our defining IR moments ... although despite our supposed surplus power we still only really played niche roles in UN peacekeeping missions - primarily communications and search and rescue (Cyprus and Suez being the major exceptions).

But I'll steer this away from politics, lest the mods smite me with their Mace of Forum Control +5!

Regardless, its great to see SO many Canadians on this board! A whole lot of Manitoba folk as well, in fact, way more than I would have imagined!

Continue to reveal yourselves!

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta.

No real favourite historic moment - though it is interesting to see what others have put down. Quite a wide variation.

Of course it counts...it is our national anthem, after all!
Hope all is cool in Belgium!
