There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Happy Canada Day! Why don't you all celebrate by having a "Canadian Bacon" film festival.

Why is it today? - excuse the stupidity of not knowing.
Anyway, Happy Canada day.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Happy Canada Day!
It used to be called Dominion Day, commemorating Confederation in 1867.
Like the USA, Canada used to be a collection of little colonies, but after the US civil war, they decied to unite to form a country (more or less so they wouldn't be annexed by the US). Of course, they were mostly Brits, so instead of rebelling against Britain they just politely asked the queen for permission to be given their own parliament.

Re: Happy Canada Day!
So if the Yanks hadn't been so bloody minded and tight fisted, when would they have got a parliament?
My best guess would be about 1777
Just think...no guns, free healthcare...and 'uncle' Tony as your leader

don't be stupid, they already have Tony as their leader, remember they're not quite a country yet...

Re: Happy Canada Day!
Reading Wikipedia , I bumped into this -
Despite Canada's ambivalent relationship with the United States, Canadians often remain very interested in how Canadians are portrayed in American pop culture and elsewhere. An episode of The Simpsons in which the family travelled to Toronto (for the last 10 minutes) was one of the most-watched TV programs in Canadian history.
