My Canada

"Canada is the most remarkable country in the world.

In my international travels all these years, I've never met anyone who wasn't rather envious when I proudly proclaimed that I was indeed Canadian. As they should be. Multi-cultural, multi-faceted, multi-hip; that's Canada to me. And as much as I adore the excitement of its cities, it's rural Canada that has always had my heart. I am lucky enough to own a cottage on a lake roughly three hours north of Toronto in a staggeringly beautiful part of Canada known asMuskoka. It's nature at its most spectacular; so peaceful, inviting and serene. And when I'm there, I laugh and play like nowhere else. When I'm there, I feel like I'm in heaven. More than anything, that is what Canada means to me."
