Effulgent

Lisa-Marie from somewhere in Canada:

"Effulgent
ef⋅ful⋅gent 
–adjective
shining forth brilliantly; radiant.
Origin:
1730–40; < L effulgent- (s. of effulgēns, prp. of effulgēre), equiv. to ef- ef- + fulg(ēre) to shine + -ent- -ent

Canada is wonderous. This country grows in technology and agriculture, while remaining almost "regal". We move forward while remaining "radiant". We are adored, admired and envied for our beauty and ever lasting tranquility while other countries are war stricken and filled with chaos.
We brilliantly strive forward for our nations good. We take care in ourselves, we are diverse, we are compassionate and we are patriots to the core.
We take comfort in the simple things and pay hommage to our ancestry. We love our hockey, our Timmies and our beer.
Canada is and will always remain "effulgent"."

thanks
