Oh Canada

I was born here to some people who were born here, whose parents were born in the US.  When you are born in a place like Canada, you seldom think about why others would like to come here.  

Yes I know it is a good place to be, but I really don't spend a lot of time thinking about it or about what it means to be Canadian.  

Today I would like to welcome someone who did spend a lot of time thinking about about Canada and what it means to be Canadian.  Dear Allison, new Canadian, welcome.  We are lucky to have you.
