On the sixth day, God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said, "Today I
am going to create a land called Canada.  It will be a land of
outstanding natural beauty.  It will have tall majestic mountains full
of mountain goats and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with
bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs overlooking
sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with
salmon."

God continued, "I shall make the land rich in natural resources so as to
make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians
and they will be known for their humour, kindness, and sense of
justice."

"But Lord," asked Gabriel. "Don't you think you are being too generous
to these Canadians?"

"Not really," replied God. "Just wait and see the neighbours I'm going
to give them."
