Canada Day, formerly known as Dominion Day, is the national day of Canada.
A federal statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867,
I'm so bad, I vacation in Canada even though I'm American, and the Canadians didn't try to kick me out!
Hahaha.
I was born and raised in Metro Detroit, and since Canada Day is July 1 and Independence Day is July 4, there is an annual fireworks display on the Detroit River so both Detroiters and Windorites could celebrate together on either side.
Plus, we Michiganians could tune into Canadian radio and television, so I grew up watching hockey, and singing along to O Canada.
American TV didn't cover NHL Hockey back then very much.
Where Eastside Cats is located on a map shows that we are actually NORTH of parts of Ontario.
Yes, we are NORTH OF CANADA.

We have the highest respect for our Canadian neighbors, because we've always felt we were simply two sides of the same coin.
Good on ya, Canada!

ReplyDeleteYippie! I have many friends that live in the USA and seems as we are only about 500 yards North, in a remote rural area, we watch out for each other, especially during wild fire season, we would NOT survive without each other. (I would not object if the USA wanted to be the eleventh province...) Keep being awesome! Barb
ReplyDeleteCanada is an excellent neighbor and I am thankful for it.
