I Love My Country

I drove the sea to sky highway a few days ago going to Whistler Mountain from Vancouver and back. Even the most self loathing Canadian can't help but feel proud when they take that route and then hang out up at Whistler/ Blackcomb for a day. Yes, Quebec/ Canada politics are insane. Yes, many Albertans are difficult to be around because they can be so ignorant. Yes, Toronto and everyone in it are the puss from the pimple on the arse of this planet. But I still love this country. I've been far and wide and I sure as hell wouldn't want to call anywhere else home. I am interacting with people from all over the world and every last one of them wishes they could stay longer when it's time for them to go home. This includes people from Germany, Switzerland and Sweden and such, not just folks from lesser off countries.
Whistler now has full snow coverage at the peak. Can you feel it? Ski season is just weeks away.
