Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for 6 days. Eventually, Micheal, the archangel, found his resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep breath of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds "Look Micheal, look what I've made"
Archangel Micheal looked puzzled and said "What is it?"
"Its a planet" replied God "and I've put LIFE on it. Its called Earth and its going to be a place of great balance"
"Balance" inquired Micheal, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity, while southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over there is a contenint of white people and over there is a continent of black people." God continued pointing to differnet countries "This one will be extreamly hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, very impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large land mass in the top corner and asked "Whats this one?"
"Ah", said God "Thats Canada. The most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humerous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extreamly sociable, hardworking and high achieving. They will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, then said, "But what about balance, God? You said there will be balance!"
"Just wait untill you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next to them!!!"
