O Canada!

Like many liberal residents of the United States, I am a big fan of Canada. For those of us below the border, our neighbor to the north appears as a land of milk and honey, filled with friendly, polite, multi-lingual folks with an actual health care system (versus the hodge-podge of programs we rely on down here). I recognize that my overly rosy view is probably related to a lack of knowledge about the everyday realities of life in Canada. That aside, I but I have to say that over the months that I have been blogging I have met some really cool Canadian moms. In fact, a quick check of the sitemeter shows that a strikingly high percentage of visitors to this site are Canadian.* Chris and I have a running joke about it, and wonder whether I should adjust my spelling when typing colour, manoeuvre or centre.

So, to all my Canadian blog-pals: I enjoy your visits and love popping north of the internet border to read about your lives. Happy Canada Day!






*Well, there is the occasional visitor from some place like Kampong Baharu Nilai, Malaysia who finds me while searching for "photo of girl who did not wear anything", but I notice that those folks rarely stay around long. Then again... this week a visitor from Doha, Qatar who was looking for "big nipple" stuck around for more than two mintues!
