Canada Day Thoughts

Being born and living in Canada all my life I realise that I take many things in life for granted. I have so much freedom here to do and say as I please that I find it really hard to imagine any other sort of way of life. But the reality is that there are many places in the world where people aren't as lucky as me. There are people who have to be in a certain religion, who have to cover their faces or dress a certain way, who cannot voice their opinions and who live in fear of harm or even death if they do not follow specific rules. Thinking about all that makes me sad. I wish that people everywhere could have the freedom that I do because I'm sure the world would be a much better place because of it.
