Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Lucky to live in Canada

By Lisa Goudy

We have a lot to be proud of in this fine country.

Canada Day has come and gone, but our pride for our country shouldn't be limited to just one day.

While we aren't perfect - no country is - and while we have many ways to improve, here in Canada we are extraordinarily fortunate compared to many other parts of the world.

Just look at our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as an example. It outlines our freedoms and rights while recognizing our country's multiculturalism. Anyone who believes his or her charter rights have been denied, he or she can go to court.

These are things that might seem basic to many of us. It is far too easy to take it for granted.

However, there are places in the world where people don't have those basic rights and freedoms.
