Every time the Olympic Games are on, I feel a sudden burst of Canadian Pride. These Olympic Games have me over the top. It is partly due to the games being held in Canada, but also watching how our athletes are handling themselves. I have never witnessed a more humble Gold Medal winner than Alexandre Bilodeau, and his teammates who did not finish on the podium were still absolutely honoured to share in his glory.
It is not just the sports that have me feeling pride in being Canadian, it is the way our nation represents itself as a whole. We are a proud and dedicated country; we will continue to encourage anyone who shows initiative. We are proud of every Canadian who has been successful and we root on those who are trying hard to succeed.
In my personal, public and business life, I try to be a great Canadian. Whether it is holding open the door for someone, congratulating another on their success, being humble in my own, and doing random acts of kindness with no need for recognition... I am a proud Canadian!
