Canada was allowed to break off after our revolution, because England didn't want another revolution.  Canada was given self internal rule, but still deferred to Britain on foreign policy for a while.  Now they are completely broken away.  So my question is what are you celebrating?  The day England allowed self internal rule or the day England allowed total rule.

As far as I know, it celebrates the day in 1867 when the first 4 provinces because a single country known as Canada.

We still follow Britain into wars and such, normally.  We are still part of the commonwealth and still worship the Queen and sing God Save the Queen and all that.  And our money still has pictures of the Queen on it.

Today (July 1) is Canada Day.  It's similar to your Independance Day, except that instead of attacking our parent country, we just left them.  I'm not celebrating it in any way.

Are you serious? Please re-read history if you're going to slide in nationality slams based upon it. There was a little more involved than just a blatant attack our parent country.  ::)

I was in Canada for Canada Day last year. I must say after seeing those people its a good thing they weren't forced to fight. They'd have gotten their asses kicked.

You might be right about that, Joe.

Why not just build a big box and ship that?  I bet it would only be a week in a box with no air or food... plus it would be cheaper then flying.. its a lose-win situation!

Are they aspiring Frenchmen?..is that why they speak french?

I'm going to a friend's bday bbq on the 4th & then off to watch the city fireworks.  Last year's show was awesome & horrible!  Bad because they shot off the finale fireworks @ the beginning, good because they shot the finale ones off wrong & they exploded WAY too close to the ground & nailed houses

I had a girl ask me to hang out with her today & stay the night @ her house since her parents are in Colorado, I'm not going :(, my mom wouldn't let me randomly stay the night 230 miles away from home :(!
