Good Morning #Canada
On a walking tour of Amsterdam, on our recent vacation, the guide asked if any Canadians were in the group. I raised my hand and she asked if I knew why tulips represented a strong connection berween Canada and The Netherlands. I answered, "Canada sheltered the royal family during #WWII & a Princess gave birth during her stay in Ottawa." The U.S. tourists with us were suitably impressed.

@PaulBusch fun fact: my grade 1 teacher’s mom was a nurse that helped deliver Princess Margriet at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.

I've been there as a service member, and the Dutch treat Canadians very well. I also have a stamp in my collection, of the Canada Goose over Holland, and no price, meant to be used over and over as long as possible. -

@ColesStreetPothole
Somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 annually. The royal family sends 10K every year and a growers association sends additional amounts. -
