My favorite place is Yuclulet, B.C.

Love Yuclulet, just down the road from Tofino.

Two very different little communities, very close to each other.

Whatever I am, I'm a grateful human for being born in Canada forever.

Thanks, Byron.

Brian Sarti in Guelph, Ontario.

My grandpa was a young Danish immigrant to Canada in 1901.

At 18 years old, he signed up to the Canadian Expeditionary Force and went back overseas to serve at Ypres, the Somme, and at Vimy, where he was severely wounded.

Man, those three battles were just brutal.

In my 68 years, I've always thought of myself as Canadian.

Last September, I finally traveled to Vimy.

I have never felt so proud and lucky to be Canadian.

I know how you feel, Brian.

I've been to Vimy a few times.

And coming back from there, I don't think I've ever felt so Canadian.

Nicholas Hamilton in Prince George, B.C.,

I am a Canadian first.

To me, Canada means keeping strong relationships among the founding groups, English, French, First Nations, immigrants.

As a person from BC, I consider us the only West, and even Alberta is part of Eastern Canada.

I remember Trudeau and Harper's debate about old stock Canadians.
