We Are More
by Shane Koyczan
PART 4
we are more than summers and winters
more than on and off seasons
we are the reasons people have for wanting to stay
because we are more than what we say or do
we live to get past what we go through
and learn who we are
we are students
students who study the studiousness of studying
so we know what as well as why
we don't have all the answers
but we try
and the effort is what makes us more
we don't all know what it is in life we're looking for
so keep exploring
go far and wide
or go inside but go deep
go deep
as if James Cameron was filming a sequel to The Abyss
and suddenly there was this location scout
trying to figure some way out
to get inside you
because you've been through hell and high water
and you went deep
keep exploring
because we are more
than a laundry list of things to do and places to see
we are more than hills to ski
or countryside ponds to skate
we are the abandoned hesitation of all those who can't wait
we are first-rate greasy-spoon diners and healthy-living cafes
a country that is all the ways you choose to live
a land that can give you variety
because we are choices
we are millions upon millions of voices shouting
"keep exploring... we are more"

A country that has great beer. Canada does not have an army, but they do not need one, for they do not piss off everywone with their arrogance.
Also, the only country to be attacked by America, yet come back and burn down their white house.

You walk down the street of Toronto. Look left! You see a fat stripper! Look right! You see a $1 beer store! Look back! You see a pawn shop owned by some afghani refugee!... No wait... This is New york.

The second largest and one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Full of great talent and multiculturalism. Never believe any stereotypes about Canadians. Well except maybe that we like giving wrong directions to American tourists to screw up their vacation...
Doug Hightower is a dolt who needs to stop sticking his head in his arse. He obviously is EXTREMELY mislead about Canada. If we are so censored then why are we more liberal than Americans (with our gay marriages and what not)? Why do our TV shows portray issues like teen pregnancy and abortion while American networks ban those types of episodes (think Degrassi)? And maybe he doesn’t know this but in here we DO have such things as satellite TV, thus allowing us to watch shows (including all types of news broadcasts) from all over the world. So whatever we can’t get from cable (90 percent of which is American anyway) we can get from that. And our technology is just the same as yours. WOW EH?! And yes many (but not all of them) Jack Chick comics aren’t allowed here but that is because they spread hate propaganda, which no country should have anyway. Cry free speech all you want, but there ARE laws against certain types of speech here AND in your own country, so actually there is no such thing as free speech if you think about it.
Oh and Canadians (but not all. Remember many of us love you guys) don't bash Americans because we don't know better. They bash them because so many Americans (not including the good ones) don't know better.

Canada is ranked as 1st in the United Nations List of Awesomeness, right in front of Albus Dumbledore, Megamind and you.
