HAPPY CANADA DAY!

I love Canada. If it was only me I may move there. (Now don't get disgruntled you readers- I do love America, and I am patriotic )

So any big things you do for your day?

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends! I am with Tricia, though... would love for you to share a little about your traditions. Do you celebrate like we do on Fourth of July? (i.e. pigging out on BBQ and going to see fireworks? LOL)

Okay, a bit of info about Canada Day. We are celebrating the 141st anniversary of the day we became our own nation (as in no longer a British colony). We did it by signing a paper while you all did it with the revolution. I guess that's where we get our reputation of being polite

We do celebrate in many of the same ways as you celebrate the 4th. We gather with family, friends and communities. Have bbq's, concerts and fireworks. We wear red and white and wave our flag. We talk about history and our founding fathers.

This year we are also celebrating 250 years of democracy in Nova Scotia (which makes Canada one of the oldest democracies in the world), the 400th year of the founding of Quebec City and the 150th year of the founding of British Columbia as a colony. Basically gives us an excuse to party longer.
