That waste, inefficiency and corruption mean that we _don’t_ get all the government we pay for.
I’m thankful I’m not a turkey.

I’m thankful I grew up.
I’m thankful for dogs.

Letter of Pierre Laporte to Robert Bourassa
Letter sent on October 11, 1970
My dear Robert,
I feel like I am writing the most important letter I have ever written.
For the time being, I am in perfect health, and I am treated well, even courteously.
In short, the power to decide over my life is in your hands. If there was only that involved, and the sacrifice of my life would bring good results, one could accept it …
You know how my personal situation deserves to draw attention. I had two brothers, both are now dead. I remain alone as the head of a large family that comprises my mother, my sisters, my own wife and my children, and the children of Rolland of whom I am the guardian. My departure would create for them irreparable grief, and you know the ties that bind the members of my family …
You have the power of life and death over me, I depend on you and I thank you for it.
Best regards,
Pierre Laporte

How about being thankfull that those crooks and simpletons in Ottawa haven’t completely destroyed this country- YET!
I am thankful our closest neighbour is The United States and not China, North Korea or Syria.

God bless her!
I am thankful that the reign of liberalism and political correctness is finally being challenged.
Thanks to all the thoughtful bloggers who are leading the charge.
Thanks to the USA for protecting us, even though many of us don’t deserve it.
Thanks to Donald Fagan for showing us how fabulous pop music can be.
Thanks to the late Carl Sagan for showing us how really big the universe is and how silly and conceited we humans are.
Thanks to the Late Frank Zappa who showed us that you can go way beyond the edge without being insane.
Thanks to my little wife Geraldine for teaching me set goals and for her efforts in civilizing me to some degree. There’s still a way to go.
And thanks to chance that I was born and lived in the very best of times.
Cheers,

I’m thankful for all of the blog’s and the blogger’s

Thankful for farmers.>>>> See also: Species At Risk: Farm Dog.>>>>
Eastern Ontario Rural Revolution
In Eastern Ontario there is a revolution being carried on by rural residents against growing
bureaucratic control of privately owned land and marketing practices been carried out
by vendors of Farmers’ Markets.
On October 6, 2005 the Leeds and Grenville Chapter of the Rural Revolution protested against Ontario
Health Units imposing unfair safety regulations and targeting Farmers’ Markets in Eastern Ontario.
The protestors set up a Farmers’ Market across the street from the Health Unit building in
Brockville Ontario from 8.00 am until noon.

Steve like dogs, I like blogs.
I am thankful I can think for myself.
I am happy that I know right from wrong, even if the political party that runs the government of my country does not.
I am glad I have my health.
Im thankfull Im not a muslim.
I’m thankful for small dead animals – ‘specially the tasty ones! 😉
Hockey’s back, and our country is so big not even the liberals can mess it up 😉
I’m thankful that I live in Calgary, I have a great job that I love 90% of the time, and great friends. My family gets on my nerves more often than not – but I’m thankful that they are still here to get on my nerves.
Hockey, eh, it’s Canada!
Go Habs Go!
I’m thankful for…
My wonderful wife who I’m sure I don’t deserve, but that I could not live without.
My beautiful daughter who has taught me to see the world with wonder and excitement once again.
My in-laws who share so many of my wife’s qualities that it would be impossible not to love them.
The beautiful country that I live in.
Living in a home that’s paid for in a place that I love.
Not having to worry about where the next meal is coming from.
Finally having a career where every minute of ‘work’ I do is absolute bliss.
The freedoms I enjoy that are not available to many others in the world today.
Another 24 hours clean and sober.
Our neighbors to the south who, while we do not agree on everything, have faithfully shouldered so much of the burden we have placed on them. They have been good friends to us.
People like Kate who challenge my thinking and push me in new directions.
I’m thankful for my children… They helped open my eyes…
I’m thankful for the web and blogs… They helped open my eyes…
I’m thankful for the USA… It’s helped open my eyes…
I’m thankful that I live in a province where I can recognize those things…
I’m thankful for Canadian Wiskey… It helps me close my eyes sometimes when it gets to be too much…
I’m thankful for my beautiful wife because she helps me balance (even though I fight it)…
I’m thankful for the dog… A true friend…
I’m thankful for the cat… Because he’s the cat…
I’m thankful for the upbringing I had… It’s failure showed me how to be successfull with my own children…
And, finally, I’m thankful that I have it within myself to be thankful…
I’m thankful to be on this side of the grass and all the good stuff that involves
I am thankful to know a loving God who I can be thankful to.
So much to be thankful for, so little time…but I think it light of the latest blog post that the Lost Budgie alerted me too, I’m going to be thankful that — currently — I can practice my faith without fear of persecution.
Or at least without fear of the kind of persecution that involves .45 cal brain trauma.
That waste, inefficiency and corruption mean that we _don’t_ get all the government we pay for.
I’m thankful I’m not a turkey.
