C is for CANADA




I chose Canada as my "C" word because I AM CANADIAN!!




I am from Ontario, Canada which borders Michigan.  When I cross the border back into my mother land, it feels like home.

Canada is known for hockey.  



And we love our toques  :-)




And Tim Horton's coffee shop was born and raised in Canada.


These are some of the things that make Canadians and Canada who we are.
