elanya at 11:59pm on 15/02/2016 under canada, february talk meme, tumblr crosspost, twitter crosspostToday, sorceror asked me to talk about Canada! \o/
I am pretty fond of my country, despite the many problems that we have. I am grateful to be back in a place with socialized health care, even if it isn't perfect. I am happy to be back living in a society that is, in many ways (but not every way, we have a lot to work on) more open and accepting.
Right now, my part of Canada is pretty snowy! But Canada is really big, as the song goes. Parts further west are having a pretty nice time, as far as I understand. Almost 10 degrees! Though it is supposed to warm up a fair amount later this week.
Oh here is a thing I can say.... So, Texas, as a state is pretty proud of its size. The fact that it it Big is a Big Deal. But compared to most Canadian provinces, it isn't, not really. Texas is less than half the size of Quebec, say. And yes, Quebec *is* really big (and really fairly empty), but this isn't really someone makes anything of? It isn't a big deal, pun intended, to have that much mass. So it seems like a weird thing to be proud of (though I think there is more to it than the size - the size of Texas relative to the other states is a reflection of its particular history, blah blah blah).
So I guess for tonight that is what you get. Sorry it isn't more interesting /o\
