As if I needed a reason...

From the New York Times, here are 64 Reasons to Love Canada (down at the bottom of this article about Olympic hockey).

An excerpt from the list (the rest of it is more diverse than this part, but this made me laugh):

31. The late Rick Danko of The Band.
32. The late Richard Manuel of The Band.
33. Robbie Robertson of The Band.
34. Garth Hudson of The Band.
35. Levon Helm of The Band, despite being from Arkansas.

Still, even with 64 items, they managed to leave off some of my favorite things about Canada:

1. Nick Lea
2. Paul Gross
3. Canadian candy
4. A passion for donuts (although they do have Tim Horton's on the list)
5. Canadian TV shows
6. American TV shows filmed in Canada (why do you think The X-Files went all to hell after leaving Vancouver?)
7. Prince Edward Island
8. William Shatner (what, you think I'm kidding?)

What do you love best about Canada?
