Gerard's story - came from India, now a Canadian

I came to Canada from Bombay, India. After arriving in Canada, I fell in love with the place; I love the diversity and the respect that most of the people show towards each others culture, religion and beliefs. I feel at home here, as I felt accepted right away. I have dreams to achieve certain things in life and I feel Canada gives me the opportunity to go as far as I can, to achieve these dreams.

I have been treated fairly in every respect of life in this country and never felt discriminated. I currently have a great job and intend to do well ahead. I love Canada and am very patriotic towards it. I would like to be a ambassador of Canada's message of peace and tolerance in this world. I am proud to be a part of this great, naturally beautiful and progressive country.......'Oh Canada I will stand on guard for thee'.

Barbara's story - came from Germany, now a Canadian

I came to Canada with my parents and sister in 1952 when I was 8 years old and it was still much harder to get into Canada. The first choice to come to Canada was my father's since he heard that Canada was the land of the "free". The second choice, was my very own. As an adult with dual citizenship, I had the choice of going back to live in Germany or remain in Canada.

I chose Canada because of the wonderful and helpful Canadians I had met along my life's journey so far. They were extremely nice and kind and tolerant of my language difficulties when first coming from Germany and helped me learn to speak and read English very quickly. Many of the Canadians were warm and kind-hearted and often invited me to have dinner in their homes because I was friends with their children and they wanted to get to know the German culture better as I wanted to know the Canadian culture better also.

When I married and had my children, we saw Canada from Vancouver to P.E.I. and marvelled at the great vastness and beauty of this magnificent country. We were all in 'awe' of the diversity of people who got along so beautifully and who not only accepted but embraced the "differences" of their neighbours. It was wonderful to see!

Canada is also the country where I was "free" to choose my own path and to pursue my dreams of becoming an educational writer and publisher of my own educational publishing house called Clarke House. The "entrepreneurial" dream is alive and well and you are free to make your dreams come true. Not only are Canadians helpful but they are well-mannered and courteous to other people worldwide. What a great reputation, we Canadians have on the global market!

Canada is the country of my choice. It's a decision I have never regretted!

Jacqueline’s story – came to Canada from the Caribbean

I came to Canada when I was 13 years old. It was very cold when I came here from the Caribbean, but I adjusted and learned about the vast land of Canada. As an afro-Canadian, I have never heard white Canadians talk about the contributions that the black Canadians made to this great land!

I have met some really wonderful white Canadians both here and in my homeland and they don’t reflect any of the selfish values that most of their country men-women hold. Jo Jo Chinto from City-TV did a series during the black history month of 2003, and I found that lots of black children in the school system lose interests in the education here in Canada, simply because their heritage is not a part of the curriculum. I understand that you’re a businesswoman so you can realize how important it is to market your whole idea. You can understand how important it is not to leave out anything or anyone.

Canada is a beautiful landscape, with great cultures and wonderful people when you come across them. But we must start speaking the truth about systemic issues and really make this wonderful land and cultures, truly inclusive and let all young Canadians know that they are all important and everyone’s cultural contribution is documented and appreciated.

I can share horror stories with you, but I am a tough cookie and I believe in pushing ahead irrespective of what other norms are. I would like some ideas from you as a Businesswoman, I am strongly thinking of going into a home based business for myself, so if you could spare the time to share some ideas as to what is out there and do’s and don’ts of getting started, I would greatly appreciate your feed back.

John’s story – Canadian

A belated Canada Day! Fifty-five years ago I arrived as a two-year-old (with parents in tow) at Pier 21 in Halifax, one of the hundreds of thousands of children who landed in this country because our parents thought Canada would be a good place in which to raise their children. And every Canada Day I give thanks to this country, and to my parents for the vast wisdom of their choice.

Wonderful post brother..!!

How's life the other side?


A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day."

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman...

He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast, Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked-up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners, And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, Went grocery shopping;

Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog...

Then, it was already 1 PM - so he hurried to make the beds, Do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed.

At 9 PM He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and prayed:
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, Oh! Please, let us trade back... Amen!"

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."


Kaa Booom !
Some would retort, "u got French Connection UKed, man!"


Enjoy every moment of life... Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest...
Don't eye the 'cups' in other's hands... u never know what they r going thru...
Accept your share of Responsibility, with Humility...

[size=10pt][size=10pt]BANK PASSBOOK :[/size][/size]
Piya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Piya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook With Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother: Piya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Piya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Piya

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Piya got pregnant

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

.... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love... One day Piya talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore.

We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Piya thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Piya.

She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'



They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
"Life is about correcting mistakes."
