On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said: “Today I am going to cre­ate a land called Canada, it will be a land of out­stand­ing nat­ural beauty. It shall 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 over-looking sandy beaches with an abun­dance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon.”

God con­tin­ued, “I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhab­i­tants pros­per, I shall call these inhab­i­tants Cana­di­ans, and they shall be known as the most friendly peo­ple on the earth.”

“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 am going to give them.”
