It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It shall have tall, majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">salmon.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">God continued, &#8220;I shall make the land rich in resources <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">so as to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> make the inhabitants prosper. I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;But Lord,&#8221; asked Gabriel, &#8220;don&#8217;t you think you are being too generous to &gt; these Canadians??&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Not really,&#8221; replied God<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">..<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> &#8220;Just wait and see the winters I <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">am going to<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> give them!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Canada &#8211; our winters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although this is just a poem, sometimes our winters make us feel as if they were true regarding the winter that God gave us. The last one was particularly brutal and long. It seemed to go on forever, and it seemed that we got more snow than we ever did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is one of the reasons that many Canadians go south for the winter and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">come back<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> when the snow is gone, and the flowers have begun to grow. They do not want to deal with the cold weather, the ice, and the snow. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We are among the Canadian snowbirds that head south every year<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> will continue doing so for as long as we can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more posts about Canadian politics,\u00a0 weather etc., <a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/category\/canadian-politics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We saw this particular poem in an email that someone sent to us, and we thought that our readers might enjoy it.
