Dal sito della CBC: "Where to celebrate Canada Day this long weekend"

Cari amici ed amiche.

L'amici Stephanie Caracciolo Arriera Tamagno, ha portato alla mia attenzione questo articolo del sito della CBC che è intitolato "Where to celebrate Canada Day this long weekend":

"Canadians from coast to coast to coast and beyond will help mark the country's 146th birthday on Monday.

Ringrazio Stephanie dell'idea.
Fa il paio con quanto da me scritto nell'articolo intitolato "Happy Canada Day!".
Il Canada è uno Stato che ha dietro una grande storia.

Ad essa hanno contribuito anche molti italiani.

Pensate agli italiani emigrati in Canada.

Nel 2006, durante un censimento, ben 1.445.335 canadesi hanno dichiarato di avere radici italiane.

In città come Montreal e Toronto si possono vedere le feste dedicate a San Gabriele dell'Addolorata, il Santo che mi dà il secondo nome.

San Gabriele è legato agli abruzzesi.

Per inciso, per parte di padre, io sono di origini abruzzesi. 

Un canadese di origine abruzzese è Sergio Marchionne, il grande manager della FIAT.

Lui, per esempio, ha proposto dei programmi industriali che sono figli di quella cultura e che, purtroppo, qui in Italia (un Paese in cui non si riesce a fare impresa anche perché ci sono dei sindacati che bloccano tutto per pure ragioni politiche) non sono state capite.
Se oggi molti di noi, me compreso, sono disoccupati è anche colpa di certe scelte che non hanno premiato la buona impresa.
Ad esempio, a mio giudizio, è stato concesso troppo ai sindacati.
Se comandasse uno come Marchionne, certe cose cambierebbero. 

Da un punto di vista della cultura imprenditoriale, i Canadesi ci battono.

Dio benedica il Canada!

Cordiali saluti.
