Canada should always open its doors to those who are oppressed or in cases of emergency. When Canada offered refuge to 50,000 boat people in Vietnam in the 1970s, I was particularly proud to be Canadian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Really, it's only been since the '70s that Canadians have had any pride in their country.
I'm so proud to be Canadian. I've been to 58 countries, and they're wonderful countries, but Canada is the best.
From the outset of the war, the Canadian people have clearly shown that it is their desire to help in every way to make Canada's war effort as effective as possible.
Canada has always been there to help people who need it.
As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian.
I love Canada, always.
The people of Canada have worked hard to build a country that opens its doors to include all, regardless of their differences; a country that respects all, regardless of their differences; a country that demands equality for all, regardless of their differences.
Canada has been phenomenal to myself, my brother, my sister, their kids, my parents. They came there. They worked very hard. They came with a great education, very good heads on their shoulders with the simple thought of going there with almost nothing and just saying, 'We're doing this to give our kids the best opportunity possible.'
My parents are proud to be Canadian, as I am. They had a lot to do with my success and sacrificed a lot over the years.
Before the Civil War, Canada was at the top of the underground railroad. If you made it into Canada, you were safe unless someone came and hauled you back. That was also true during the Vietnam War for draft resisters.
