What It Means To Be Canadian

After some hours spent on doing research, and even though this blog is based on mainly immigration and immigrants, I though it would be a good idea to emphasize what it means to be a Canadian. The rights that come with being a Canadian as well as the freedom that we have.
This is not too off topic from my original one, but it can help immigrants/ newcomers see the positive side of being a citizen of Canada in case that they do not feel too comfortable, at the moment, knowing that they will permanent residents of Canada and may not be able to go back to their home country as much as they please.
Some of the great things of being a citizen of Canada are: (my favourite) you get to use "Canadian eh?" A LOT! until it bugs the heck out of people, we can stand up for what we believe in (our beliefs, values, etc.), we respect others' opinions, we stand up for the ones that cannot speak because they are either afraid or just do not know how to express their feelings towards an issue or are just purely afraid to because they do not want to hurt anybody, everyone is friendly, and better yet everyone accepts everybody else's ethnicity. Everyone accepts each other's cultures as they are and do not try to change that. No one tries to change your traditions, culture, etc.
What is even better to think about is the fact that everyone tries to maintain our country and society of our own and make it better. We all work towards a better future.
