On this day in 1867 a country was formed because the British were fed up of shelling out money for a railroad. And what a country! Everyone got along, they drank alot, and decided this new country called Canada had the potential to be a quaint, happy place. And by God it was!
Today, Canada is 138 years old. I've travelled a fair bit for my young age. I've seen Europe, Jamaica, the US, a couple of others. The world is a great place overall. The world is a great place and I am fascinated with everywhere I go. While I love and appreciate these places, there is no place I would rather live and grow up in than Canada. There is nowhere else where I would have my safe, secure, base of operations.
Just think. Canada has managed to stay together through a couple big wars, some referendums, and we manage to make it work even though this country is FUCKING HUGE and has more enthnicities living under one flag than anywhere else on the planet. We're rich, we're peaceful, and we're pretty happy. We have it good here, aside from the fact that we haven't had a real leader since Pierre Trudeau. Politics in Canada sucks right now. Where is the love?
But who cares about politics. July 1st is one of too few holidays in Canada. Enjoy this party, summer ends in 2 months.
And as for the seperatists, you have it good. Quit bitching and grab a beer.
So the rest of you outside Canada, the more you visit Canada and learn about it, the more you will see that you are more Canadian than you would like to believe.
Happy Canada Day!
Pass the beer.

Here in the great American Empire we celebrate Cinco de Mayo even tho' it's a Mexican holiday, I just wonder if we'll continue to celebrate "Canada Day" even after we take you over and drive the french into Hudson Bay.
Anyway enjoy the time you have left.

A couple of friends and myself had a big Canada day party last night (as there are things going on in Saskatoon we'd like to do tonight instead) and I almost lit my cat on fire with a Roman candle. It was pretty fuckin' sweet.

The ONLY reason that this isn't a -635 is because it's your special day. Any other time, canadians get auotmatic -'s. I'll expect the same love on St. Patty's day next year.

Canada should have expired 138 years ago, any country filled with as many French assholes deserves to be hated.

c'est bien.
bonne chance avec toutes les choses de jour du Canada. Le Canada est plein des arbres de érable qui balancent dans la brise comme des orteils d'éléphant.

Happy Canada Day!
I was supposed to celebrate by playing duets with a friend, but alas, she came down with strep throat.
So now I'm going to a hip-hop festival with my brother to make fun of hip-hoppers.
Happy Canada Day indeed.
