The secret Canadian ingredient? Compassion

This writer is proud to be Canadian. Here's why.

Editor,

Why Canada?

Simple: Compassion. We are a compassionate society. America, with its excesses, has fully slid into the gutter. 

Yes, we have same freedoms: of speech, rights, a far better health-care system (even with its shortcomings). We are a live and let-live society. More money and nukes don’t count.

It is because of our compassion for fellow Canadians, indeed human beings, we are a better people. The gutter where most Americans dwell now, they can not grasp it.

P.S. I have made the change to buy Canadian.
