An Australian Definition of a Canadian -
Written by an Australian Dentist


You may have missed it in the local news, but there was a report

that someone in Pakistan had advertised in a newspaper an offer of a

reward to anyone who killed a Canadian - any Canadian.


An Australian dentist wrote the following editorial to help define

what a Canadian is, so they would know one when they found one.


A Canadian can be English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German,

Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. A Canadian can be Mexican,

African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian,

Asian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan.


A Canadian may also be a Cree, Metis, Mohawk, Blackfoot, Sioux, or

one of the many other tribes known as native Canadians. A Canadian's

religious beliefs range from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,

Hindu or none. In fact, there are more Muslims in Canada than in

Afghanistan. The key difference is that in Canada they are free to

worship as each of them chooses. Whether they have a religion or no

religion, each Canadian ultimately answers only to God, not to the

government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government

and for God.


A Canadian lives in one of the most prosperous lands in the history

of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the

Charter of Rights and Freedoms which recognize the right of each

person to the pursuit of happiness.


A Canadian is generous and Canadians have helped out just about

every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking

a thing in return. Canadians welcome the best of everything, the

best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the

best services and the best minds. But they also welcome the least -

the oppressed, the outcast and the rejected.


These are the people who built Canada. You can try to kill a

Canadian if you must as other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world

have tried but in doing so you could just be killing a relative or a

neighbor. This is because Canadians are not a particular people from

a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of

freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, can be a Canadian.

Apart from the odd run in with the Oil Workers in Med Hat I always thought the Canadians to be very decent, friendly and welcoming people. There is more guns per person in Canada than even the USA but it as one of the lowest murder rates in the World. Its a Country where you can still leave your door unlocked. I notice when stopping at afew houses out there, naughbours just walk in to each others homes. You just dont get that that much nowdays.

I do have a soft spot for Canada, and its true about them constantly fighting other peoples wars. And there Boys are taking some terrible casualties in Afghanistan

I do have a soft spot for Canada,

Yeah,it's in your head.
Gun related crime is only lower as only two people live there.
EH!!!

Gun related crime is only lower as only two people live there.
EH!!!

You say that like it's a bad thing. Works for me!

Wholley does have a point, the population of Canada is about 3 people per KILOMETER! Unfortunately, I have the sneaking suspicion at least 1 in 3 of those is French

And the other one is Anglo Saxon

Best part is: The lack of Scousers and Plastic Yanks!
