Happy CANADA DAY!

I manually went through every page on this forum and couldn't find a Canada's Day thread.

But YAY! CANADA DAY!

I was just watching the celebrations continue in Ottawa! I wish I was there, like I was last year. They really go all out!

I doubt any Canadians will be on here today/tonight (except me, cause I'm loser), but I'd love to hear how ya'll spent Canada's birthday when you do get on. :mrgreen:

[image][/list:u] Well, the closest I've got to anything "Canadian" is my "Paul Tracy" t-shirt. He's a race car driver known as "The thrill from West Hill" because he's from West Hill, Ontario. Is that close to you? Anyway, to mark the day, I'll wear this t-shirt.

I'm not close to West-Hill, but it's the thought that counts. :muack:

I was gonna say happy day in the "...something to say" thread, but I've just spotted this one, so I'll say it here -

I was watching the Ottawa celebrations too and this group came on: "Delhi to Dublin" that had Indian and Irish dancers/singers jamming together. It was awesome!

Happy Canada Day from Toronto!!!!

From Wiki:

Canada Day (French: Fe^te du Canada) is Canada's national holiday, marking the establishment of Canada as a self-governing dominion on July 1, 1867. It is a federal holiday celebrated on July 1, annually by all provincial governments and most businesses across the country.


While it is the date upon which the present Canadian Constitution first came into effect, the first day of July does not commemorate a clear-cut date of "independence" or "founding". Instead, it commemorates the beginning of the establishment of the Canadian confederation through the 1867 British North America Act. The British Parliament still retained several political controls over Canada after 1867, and the country still lacked many of its modern provinces. The date represents the biggest step in the establishment of Canada as a self-governing country, and the beginning of a gradual march towards full independence from Britain, which was significantly advanced by the Statute of Westminster and finally completed with the proclamation of the Constitution Act by Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, in 1982.

Thanks for the info :thumbsup:.

I had one of those, but I lost it about 5 years ago and never got around to replacing it. (So far, I haven't missed it. )
