Beaver: TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL or RODENT?

[yvr girl]

Is Canada the only country born as a commercial enterprise? (Fur trade for any visitors to this section.)

It will be so wrong if Target buys The Bay. I like the fact that the longest, continually operating business is Canadian.

On ode to beavers, and other things Canuck.

(clears throat)
Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack,
or a fur trader...
and I don't live in an igloo
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister,
not a President.
I speak English and French,
NOT American.
and I pronouce it ABOUT,
NOT A BOOT.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT,
A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!
AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

1. BEAVER

YAAh, Don't you listen? The Beaver and the Bald Eagle. That's what made Canada great. If Target buys out the Hudson's Bay company I will be reduced to wearing elk hide and hemp.
