Happy Canada Day

1 July is Canada Day!
Eastside Cats has a special affinity for Canada, as we live close to the border, and are even a bit North of the Southernmost bits of Ontario; see map below.
We grew up listening to radio stations from Windsor, and tuned in CBC TV too.

Am sure that Canadians feel like they have rowdy and uncouth 'neighbours' to the South, yet we Americans will be ever grateful for the hospitality provided to travelers who were housed and fed when the United States closed our airspace on 11 September, 2001.

  5. Well, mama lived in Canada when she was young and LOVED it. Calgary was a wild town with a stampede celebration each year and the rivers Bow and Elbow flowing through the city. Yay, Canada!!!!!

  7. Some of the funniest people are/were Canadian. I still miss John Candy. ~sigh~ And with a quick bit of research I learned something new; Leslie Nielsen was born there. :) Be well!

  8. That's right: Detroit is actually north of Windsor. Boy, it must get cold there in Motor City. Come south to sunny and warm Windsor!
