For thirteen years , this man , Karl Habla of German descent , has put on his walking shoes and led a proud procession of local patriots beginning at Timmins city hall singing " Oh Canada " at the top of his voice . Karl dresses in red and white and wears every Canadian pin and flag he can find . Unintentionally on his part , he has become a local hero and a symbol of our freedom to celebrate our nation's birthday . I am proud of this country I live in and also proud of the unique and brave individuals, like Karl , who wear their pride overtly and with dignity every single day .
Karl is known locally as Mr. Canada ..and with good reason .
Wherever you are today , whoever you are with today , whatever you are doing today ...
Walk proud ... Just like Karl .
Happy Birthday Canada !
