On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and
said, "Today I am going to create a land called Canada, it will be a land of
outstanding natural beauty. It will have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats,
and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk
and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and
rivers stocked with salmon."
God continued, "I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhabitants
prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they will be known as the most
friendly people on the earth."
"But Lord," asked Gabriel "don't you think you are being too generous to
these Canadians?"
"Not really," replied God "just wait and see the neighbors I am going to
give them."
