"Dear Canada,

I'm writing to tell you that I love you. I know it's not cool to say that, but I don't care. I love your politeness, your healthcare system, your maple syrup, your Mounties, your poutine, your hockey, your Tim Hortons, your politeness (again, I know I already mentioned it, but it's worth mentioning again).

I love how you're always apologizing, even when it's not your fault. I love how you're always smiling, even when you're not feeling well. I love how you're always willing to lend a helping hand, even when it's not convenient for you.

I love your diversity, your inclusiveness, your acceptance. I love how you're a country that welcomes everyone, no matter where they come from or what they believe in.

I know that we Americans can be a bit...much sometimes. We can be loud, we can be obnoxious, we can be rude. But you, Canada, are the opposite of all that. You're calm, you're collected, you're kind.

So, thank you, Canada. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and kindness in a world that often seems too crazy and too mean. Thank you for being a reminder that there's still good in the world, and that there are still people who care about each other.

I love you, Canada. And I hope you know that I'm not the only one who feels this way."

The letter was a beautiful expression of admiration and appreciation for Canada, and it resonated with many people around the world.
