Independance Day!

[Joe]

The 4th is coming up, and you'll all (minus iago) be celebrating! Where are you going?

I'm going to my cousins house to watch the Columbus Wisconsin parade, then hopefully meeting up with Laura and breaking the news that, seeing as how it will be an entire year (minus an hour or so) since I'd seen her last, that I can't be her boyfriend anymore (I think she caught on by now, but eh?). Enough about that, we're going swimming in their pool and eating burgers! Woo! Then we're gonna go watch the fireworks down at the park (they lit the football scoreboard last year, heh) and then come home. Or not come home, we might just crash there, because its an hour drive home and we wont leave until midnight at the earliest. Reply nigaz.

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.

rofl@iago. The british wouldn't let us leave, we also didn't attack them they attacked us. Not like we sailed over there *rofl*.

[Ergot]

I'll be leaving for China ^^ Wasn't Canada's parent country... France? Everyone would know the outcome of that fight :P

[iago]

No, Canada was part of the British Empire, and now we're still part of the British Commonwealth.  We were able to become (mostly) independant without having a war and committing high treason (like the American Founding Fathers did). 

[Warrior]

Yea, but we owned them. :).

[Ergot]

@iago: Well, that reflects a lot on how Americans behave huh?

@Warrior: With our muskets and poor trained farmers!

[Quik]

Canadians were too much of pussies to cast off their reigns. ;)

Like Warrior said, we didn't attack Britain. We tried to do what Canada did, but the British Empire wouldn't allow it. The only reason Canada got away with it is because there was a greater presence of knowledge in the world when they did it. They had support.

Cartier claimed Canada for the French, though. Did the British take Canada from the French?

The french don't own Canada, but they sure own Quebec.  Happy Canada Day iago. :)

The French founded Canada, then the Brits stole it and were like "phuck t3h fr4nch0rz", then Canadians became Friends and revolted peacefully.
