Welcome to the Canada eZine. This is a subsection of the Lilith eZine where only articles about Canada are shown. As Canadians we admit we are fiercely proud of our country. We're the kind of people who nearly cry (or weep uncontrollably) whenever we sing the national anthem: "The True North, Strong & Free" (often referred to as 'O Canada').

The Lilith eZine is by itself a part of the Lilith Gallery network, which promotes Canadian art and Canadian ideals like peace, environmentalism and equality for all people.

Sincerely,
Alex & Suzy
