Most Canadians are good people. They're team players. They have the attitude that we're all in this together. I was touched when Alberta had a bad drought a few years ago and Ontario farmers shipped donated cattle feed out here to help Alberta farmers.

Moving to Canada helped me become a more confident person. I think working in a bar for the first few years helped. I would never of dreamed of doing that kind of job before moving here I always thought I'd be way too shy

Kindness,when my sister was critically sick in Toronto,
the social worker,nurses and OHIP staff kept in touch
with us for encouragement.
A co patient's family invited us to their home for dinner.
