These three things about Canada are only a little part of what makes me proud to call myself a Canadian. Ice hockey brings many people together and it is something all Canadians can relate on. Also, Canada Day is probably one of the best recaps of a Canadians year. It's a day that makes us feel proud about where we were born. Multiculturalism in Canada makes me the most proud. The fact that our country allows people struggling all around the world to come live a good life and provide their family with better resources is one of the best things any country can do. Therefore this is why all Canadians should be proud about where they are from!
