Happy Saint George’s Day! 🇨🇦🇬🇧 As a Canadian with English heritage, today is a perfect reminder of resilience, courage, and the ties that bind us across generations. Cheers to a day of tradition & pride! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐉 #SaintGeorgesDay #ProudOfMyRoots

"Say, George, is it true you killed a dragon?"
"It is," George said morosely.
"While rescuing a maiden from it?"
"No. Well... They both demanded I choose."
"Choose what?"
"One of them. How could I? I loved them too much! So I choose none. Neither. It... broke the dragon's heart."

I’m not heavily into saints, but George seems entirely appropriate. A multicultural mercenary who never set foot in England. Rather like Richard, Cœur de Lion, come to think of it! 😂 #SaintGeorgesDay

For anyone wondering why there’s a red book amidst my emojis, the reason is to celebrate #WorldBookDay2023. #WorldBookDay occurs globally on 23rd April, except in UK when it is celebrated in March to avoid the clash with celebrations & events for #SaintGeorgesDay.

Cry 'God for Harry! #England and #SaintGeorge!'. Happy for a bit of red & white.

However, I am no #LittleEnglander; rather a person who comprehends that humans, creatures, plants, viruses, bacteria, etc. are all interdependent on our tiny speck of the Cosmos. It follows that we need other countries too. Glorious isolation à la BREXIT / BREXSHIT is a cul-de-sac.

I love that England’s patron-saint is shared my so many other nations and regions of the World. Happy #SaintGeorgesDay folks!
