Canada Day

A L O H A     C  A  N  A  D  A !


O Canada by Nikki Yanofsky on Grooveshark


 " Canada is a place of infinite promise. 

We like the people, 

and if one ever had to emigrate,
 this would be the destination,
not the U.S.A.
The hills, lakes and forests
 make it a place of peace
and repose of the mind,
 such as one never finds
 in the U.S.A. "

John Maynard Keynes



















" Canada
is the greatest nation
in this country. "  

Allan Lamport
former Mayor of Toronto














 " Canada 
is one of the planet's 
most comfortable,
and caring, societies.
 The United Nations
 Human Development Index
cited the country
 as the most desirable place
 in the world
 to live. "

Time magazine




 " Canada stands as a model 
of how people of different cultures
 can live and work together
 in peace, prosperity,
 and mutual respect. "

Bill Clinton











 And we in Hawaii, 
especially Waikiki
appreciate our many 
Canadian friends,
guests, 
and part time residents.

Sorry for the delay,

But O Canada!
We salute YOU
with much Aloha
on your Special Day



                         Warmly, cloudia

  2. Someone told me that if you're on the sidewalk and you even think of crossing the street, a Canadian will stop for you. When we were there, we found out that it's TRUE. Here in Hawaii, when you cross the street, you have to say a few prayers first.

  3. I like this post very much. I was in Canada 16 years ago, and I learned that green has a fragrance, a texture, and a soul.
