I have always been a believer that Canada is one of the best countries in the world, and I know a whole lot of people agree with me in a number of ways, but normally when we say that, we mean a whole bunch of things. We often don't include geographically, physically, just in terms of a beautiful space, yet obviously this is so true for Canada in ways that while it's not true for other countries that just don't have the great diverse landscapes that we get to enjoy. Canada is truly such a beautiful country, and this applies whether it's just places in, well, our own backyard, places in rural Ontario, not far from the city. I spend a lot of my time looking at the concrete jungle in Toronto, you know, in Toronto. You get just an hour out of town and you go, man, this is awesome. Or to these places that we don't travel too much, like in the Northwest Territories, you look at pictures and bullets and go, I can't believe this is my country.

00:00:00.000 Hey folks, I have always been a believer that Canada is one of the best, if not the best,
00:00:10.400 country in the world. And I know a whole lot of people agree with me in a number of ways,
00:00:15.120 but normally when we say that best country in the world, well we mean a whole lot of things,
00:00:19.680 but we often, I think when we think about it, don't include geographically, physically,
00:00:26.000 just in terms of a beautiful space. Yet obviously this is so true for Canada in ways that,
00:00:31.920 while it's not true for other countries that just don't have the great diverse landscapes
00:00:36.560 that we get to enjoy. Canada really, truly such a beautiful country. And this applies whether it's
00:00:42.800 just places in, well, in our own backyard, places in rural Ontario, not far from the city. I spend a
00:00:48.080 lot of my time looking at the concrete jungle in Toronto, you know, head glued to the devices and
00:00:52.400 so forth. You get just an hour out of town and you go, man, this is awesome. Or to these places
00:00:57.040 that we don't travel too much, like in the Northwest Territories, you look at pictures and
00:01:01.280 bullets and you go, man, I can't believe this is my country. This place is phenomenal. And maybe now
00:01:08.960 you're Googling around and you're going, well, what things can I do in my area within a two-hour drive,
00:01:14.000 a three-hour drive, and you find, hey, there's this cool cave or this trail or whatnot, this place that
00:01:18.800 I just didn't know was so close to me. It's amazing. Some of you in some places, I'm in
00:01:23.280 Toronto, if you're in Ottawa, you've got the Gatineau Hills, Calgary, Vancouver, you've got
00:01:27.200 places really nearby. It is phenomenal. And I say all of this now because, of course, if you were
00:01:32.640 someone who loves to travel and would like to be doing that this summer, or would like to travel
00:01:37.120 somewhere else during the fall, you want to go on a cruise, you want to go on some sort of tour,
00:01:40.880 and you can't do that right now. I mean, we're coming back to life in many respects,
00:01:44.720 the economy's roaring back again, but the pandemic still brings travel restrictions to us.
00:01:49.520 And it's a bummer. It sucks. And I know if you want to see the world, I get it. You can't do it 0.99
00:01:53.840 right now, and you're feeling a little down about that. But really, look around. I hate to sound like
00:01:58.560 a Canada Tourism Board, Ontario Tourism, or whatever promotional campaign, but I really think it is true
00:02:04.720 that we are just so blessed to have a natural beauty in this country. And a lot of times we talk about
00:02:09.120 our trips. You go, where are you going? Are you going to go to New York? Are you going to go to LA?
00:02:12.160 You're going to check out the restaurants here. You're going to hop on a plane, go to Paris, go to
00:02:15.360 London. I've been to all those cities. They are fantastic. But more and more, and especially now,
00:02:20.480 I also say, you know what's also fantastic? Canada is fantastic.
