We Are More

by Shane Koyczan

PART 3

we are the colours of Chinatown and the coffee of Little Italy
we dream so big that there are those
who would call our ambition an industry
because we are more than sticky maple syrup and clean snow
we do more than grow wheat and brew beer
we are vineyards of good year after good year
we reforest what we clear
because we believe in generations beyond our own
knowing now that so many of us
have grown past what used to be
we can stand here today
filled with all the hope people have
when they say things like "someday"
someday we'll be great
someday we'll be this
or that
someday we'll be at a point
when someday was yesterday
and all of our aspirations will pay the way
for those who on that day
look towards tomorrow
and still they say someday
we will reach the goals we set
and we will get interest on our inspiration
because we are more than a nation of whale watchers and lumberjacks
more than backpacks and hiking trails
we are hammers and nails building bridges
towards those who are willing to walk across
we are the lost-and-found for all those who might find themselves at a loss
we are not the see-through gloss or glamour
of those who clamour for the failings of others
we are fathers brothers sisters and mothers
uncles and nephews aunts and nieces
we are cousins
we are found missing puzzle pieces
we are families with room at the table for newcomers

This was recited at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. 16 days, 14 gold, 7 silver, 5 bronze, 2 Olympic records broken, 1 proud country! Go Canada!

Canada

A country that lives under the shadow of the US and can't even figure out that it's just a low budget version of America.

SockMonkey on urbandictionary: The only country to successfully invade the United States and burn down the White House.
Reader: Is that the best you got, Canada? Have you been sitting with your thumbs up your asses boosting about that for the last 200 years? Weren't the british the ones that actually burned down the White House?

Canada

The land of queers and skanks. In the most recent of Colbert Nations, it was slighted for renaming its magazine "the Beaver" because Canadians are a bunch of ninnies.

Canada is such a land of queers and losers

Canadians eat douchebagels and creamed mancheese

Colbert was disappointed and issued a slam-session on Canadians for giving up on "the Beaver"

Canada's History

Canada's History is when you get drunk on whiskey and sleep with your(now older) childhood babysitter.

Whoa man....I can't go to high school reunions anymore. It's Canada's History every time I go back to my hometown.

Airsoft Canada

A lost cause, An airsoft forum based in Canada. These forums will be the very death of airsoft because of there inability and refusal to band together and change the laws and importation regarding airsoft in Canada. And because of something called the "Age Verification" system, which requires you to meet up with an "Age Verifier" in real life and show them that you are 18 years of age in order to purchase airsoft guns, because of this many new people have been turned away from the sport because of this time consuming process. Airsoft Canada has went out of there way to make sure NO airsoft guns are readily available in Canada. When new people try to join the sport or use mid-range guns they are immediately turned away from the sport by the elitist people on the forums. Airsoft in Canada is strict Milsim only and a lot of the forum members stand by the "milsim first, Than fun" code. When non-verified members ask questions there flamed for not being verified and accused of being under 18 despite some are 20-30. Pusangani and Kalnaren are notorious for flaming and cause most new members to leave and not come back, thus killing airsoft farther. If you have earned the privilege of being "Age Verified" you have to be prepared to invest more than $300 on a gun such as Jing-Gong or Kjw. For a Tokyo Marui be prepared to spend $500, And for a Systema/Ptw $900-$1500. You are not allowed to game with anything lower than Jing-Gong or else you are turned down by ASC and not allowed to show up at games.

Anonymous user: Anyone know where to get a new mechbox for a Jing-Gong m4?

Airsoft Canada: Are you Age-Verified?

Anonymous user: No, and how do I become verifed

Airsoft Canada: Banned.
