Happy Canada Day to our many Canadian readers!
Today marks a very special Canada Day because this great nation is celebrating its 150th birthday.
As Canadians, we must never forget how incredibly blessed we are to live in this country. And it must be stressed that our good fortune has not occurred by accident – young Canadians, especially, need to be reminded about that consistently.
Unfortunately, the facts are that we have stumbled into our 150th birthday with a host of problems from pipelines that can’t get built, thanks to climate change fanaticism, to multiple political and social leaders across the nation who know how to distribute wealth but possess little understanding of how to actually create it. External threats, such as radical Islamist terrorism, are downplayed due to the new political correctness that has infected this country like a cancer.
Canadians going back to the 19th century built a great nation through a hard working entrepreneurial spirit, an unshakable commitment to freedom and democracy, visionary leaders at all levels of society, courageous men and women in uniform, and compassion and respect for others. What was built, and how it was built, should never be taken for granted.
God has gifted each of us and has protected our nation – to Him we must be grateful.
Significantly, our freedom has not come without a price – think today of all the countless brave men and women who have fought for our country to protect our freedoms and democracy, and how so many of them made the ultimate sacrifice to help keep our nation free and prosperous.
On our nation’s 150th birthday in particular, remember those who gave their lives for you to help Canada get to 150! If you know a war veteran, make a special attempt to thank him or her for their service. And keep in your prayers and thoughts those who are currently serving in our armed forces.
From our entire team at BMR, enjoy a safe and awesome Canada Day with your friends and family.
Check back for separate BMR postings later today and tomorrow. Canadian markets are closed Monday.
Happy Canada day to everyone at BMR!
