It is cool that “Canada Day” (July the first) and the Fourth of July (the fourth of July) are so close together.
Close in their birthdays.
Close on the map.
Pretty close in culture, and values and aspirations.
But with shining uniquenesses.
Happy Birthday, Canada.
And the United States as well.
There’s a lot you can learn from each other.
As I've been fortunate to have learned from you both.
