Happy Canada Day!
I have always promoted my love for Canada. No hanging on the sidelines, no 'sorry,' no 'second best,' . . . no wallflower, I.
From my childhood days, and throughout my working career, I have been proud to display the Canadian flag and wear a flag pin in my lapel. And, that was only the start!
