My most recent Roots obsession - the Selina Italian Leather Box Bag ($239.99)  I wear it every day (did you know it's pink inside? sigh...)

I can always count on Roots for a hit of pure Canadiana, with its cozy sweaters, easy lounge wear, sumptuous leather handbags and nostalgic finds (Beaver Canoe, anyone?).  With the influx of American chains storming our retail scene, I love to see that Roots is constantly growing, evolving and, like a fine VQA, just keeps getting better with age.  

It's the last day of RLR's Treat Week and to celebrate, we're giving away a $50 Gift Card to Roots.  To win, leave a comment below telling me your what you love most about Canada.  (Maple syrup? Hockey? Justin Bieber?) Contest ends at 5 pm today.  Good luck to every Canuck! x

What I love most about Canada:

Our accent :)

You never know you have one until someone abroad points it out.

[Terry]

I love how peaceful and safe it is living in Canada compared to the rest of the world.

I love Canada not just for the hockey, beer, coffees, maple syrup, beaver or even for the fact that we have more Bald Eagles in one province than the country that made them their national animal but for the people. I love Canada but I love Canadians even more. Where else can you find such genuine caring and compassionate people, yeah not saying there aren't bad ones out there but honestly the ones that are good, are amazingly good. I don't even care if I win the gift certificate (even though that would be nice) I just love my country and its people!

Love you all Canadians <3

I love being Canadian,for our quiet spirit, our honour, for our kindness, but most of all freedom. When I travel and I do carry ROOTS with me I smile very wide when I say I am from Canada.We all need to remember to stand tall and wear our red and white with great pride.

I love the people. In Canada we have a diverse population and we are the friendliest people in the world. It's great to be a part of such a diverse country.

[Erin]

I love how nice everyone is!

[Margaret]

The way diversity is CELEBRATED in Canada (not just tolerated as in some countries)

[Danielle]

What I love most is the diversity- the people, the climate, and the landscape (and the fact that EVERYBODY loves Canadians)

[Grace Mok]

I love Canada because of the people here!!!

[Shelley]

I love our beautiful clean lakes, and vast forests of Northern Ontario. Oh, and of course maple syrup....who doesn't love maple syrup?!?!
