Canada's History
What being Canadian is like
In my opinion, being Canadian is apart of my personality now. It is beautiful hearing that a Canadian stereotype is being "polite", which is a good thing! Also, having a great history behind you is marvelous. Knowing that Canada is an amazing county along with a good education system makes me really proud to be Canadian. Canada is surrounded with incredible people, some of which are known world-wide.
