Canadians & the Commonwealth

[Salyan]

Okay, I'm curious. How many of us on here are Canadians or other members of the old Commonwealth?  If you are, let us know! 

To start us off, I am Canadian (lol), from Alberta. 
(If you understood that reference, you probably are too!)

What is “the old commonwealth”? I am Canadian, but I am not familiar with that term. Too many years since I was in school and I don’t follow politics, so can only guess what you mean here.

It's a loose association of countries that used to be part of the British Empire.  Maybe it's not as 'old' as I thought it was.

Australia is still a part of the Commonwealth.

Canada is more like an associate member now, hence the "Old Commonwealth" reference by the Canadian.......

I'm Canadian-adjacent.   Born in Seattle, currently living on the northernmost part of the Olympic Peninsula.  Does that count?

I like Canada.

Count me as a friend of the Commonwealth.

I like Canada, I like Australia, I like New Zealand.  I also |like America.  Having said that I have never been outside Europe,

You blessed people, having the opportunity to see those stunning views in real life. I've seen imagery from Canada in youtube clips and I felt already refreshed. It looks absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful places on earth no doubt.

 I've been given the chance to visit, but I refused. I think just visiting will make me depressed when my trip will end. I've visited the US a while ago and it has caused much angst and frustration, once you set foot in a civilised world, you see the difference especially if you're coming from an undeveloped country. That's why I kinda dislike travelling, seeing gorgeous places and then returning to a dumpster will make a person hate his life.

   I can admire from afar and I can pray for countries that I love, don't think it's wrong, it's not necessary to be American or Canadian to love those countries.

  Be grateful if you were born there. US/Canda/Australia/New Zealand are wonderful and magnificent countries.
