Starting My List of Things that Make up the Distinctly Canadian Character

1. We can laugh at our own foibles and we enjoy it!

2. We do not bury our mistakes under our flag or a shroud of patriotism. We hold them up to the light to ensure we understand why we made them, to ensure we do not make them again and we remind ourselves of them occassionally.

3. We think other people and other nations have some darned fine ideas and we love to learn from everyone.

4. Greed is not our number one attribute, in fact, we tend to think it is rather inappropriate in public and even in business when it is taken to excess.

5. Most of us are pretty good at sharing (but that doesn't mean we like being ripped off!)

6. We are interested in your opinion and your way of life.

7. We obey international laws.

8. When it comes to a choice between life and profit- life wins.

9. We really like the truth.

10. We really like peace (and parties).
