    Gah. I told myself I wouldn't go downtown and deal with the massive traffic jam of people smoking pot this year, but as it turns out, my future bassist is from Gatineau, so meeting downtown it is. Also, only the liquor stores downtown are open (!!!!!!!).

    Happy Canada Day to Beirut, BP, UglyandHasty, lancelot, Hurin_Rules, Goofball, Navaros...who else is a Canade?

    Happy Canada Day!

    I hope you got time to relax at the beach like I did yesterday.

    So what is the traditional way to relax on the day... Have a historical battle depicting burning down the Whitehouse?

    No, we re-enact our civil war.

    It was a barroom brawl.

    Seriously.

    ROFL.

    Thankfully the loyalists won and provided the better example for the Canadian military.

    Outnumber 20:1 and the enemy retreat due to their own shooting.

    On December 7, Colonel MacNab marched about 1,000 regulars and militiamen up Yonge Street and attacked Mackenzie's force at Montgomery's Tavern, putting the building under artillery fire. When MacNab advanced his infantry, both parties of rebels abandoned their posts and retreated in disarray to the tavern, causing those assembled there to panic and flee. Within 20 minutes, the rebels were gone. Loyalist forces then looted the tavern and burned it to the ground, before marching back to York.
    Pretty nice bar brawl.
