Why I Love/Hate Living In Canada

Written December 28th, 2007 by Paul in Personal

I don’t make my personal political views known for a number of reasons, the main one being that I think politics is too self serving for the politicians themselves and not enough about serving the people who support them.

So here are some vague political statements. Very political of me, I know:

Why I love living in Canada: Because we’re known around the world as peacekeepers. We’re known as one of the best countries in the world to live in because of our apparent ability to remain neutral when conflict arises.

Why I hate living in Canada: Because we’re so close to this type of thing and it’s wrath. How long will it be before we’re looked at as guilty by association, or worse, viewed as guilty because of our neutrality?

Don’t expect me to make very many political posts in the future. I already feel inhibited about letting my views be known. Have for a long time.

Is there somewhere I can live on this planet where I won’t feel inhibited any more?

    For the rest of the world, Canada looks finer and peacekeeper when compared especially to US. Being neutral and in balance is the hardest thing to achieve most of the times.
