Moonlight Graham Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 In 1867, a great country was born (well, sort of, we have a complex constitutional history LOL). Celebrate safely and enthusiastically! Happy Canada Day everyone! We are damn lucky to live here! Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.
msj Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks MG. Happy Canada Day to you too. I guess the grumpies got up early this morning to blame the Liberals and wonder about civil war. Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

Jack Weber Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Absolutely... I assume they are the few that feel we should still be singing "God Save The Queen" and kissing the ring of the folks in Buckingham Palace... Those folks were deemed non-essential personnel in April of 1982... Happy Canada Day,everyone... Edited July 1, 2012 by Jack Weber Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Guest American Woman Posted July 1, 2012 Report Posted July 1, 2012 Have a fun one, a safe one, and 'have one for me' (or two, if you're so inclined. ))! - and as you count your blessings for the great country you live in, your neighbor to the south celebrates with you - and feels blessed to have a neighbor like Canada.

Argus Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Exactly. Special like the short bus. Socialist and Rick are the most special people on this site!

Guest Peeves Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 I add my thanks for being a citizen of the greatest country in the world (regardless the condemnation by the U.N) And I want you to know that while I differ in opinion on some issues I continue to respect the 'other' wrong opinions and welcome them, for diversity of thought should be welcomed. And while I may differ, I really dislike no one..hardly, much, ever. pffffft! so there. Quote

g_bambino Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I assume they... feel we should still be singing "God Save The Queen"... You mean like as part of the nationally broadcast Canada Day noon show on Parliament Hill? Fitting for the "birthday" of our peaceable northern kingdom. Saw great fireworks - professional and amateur - from my balcony last night. A good day. [ed.: +] Edited July 2, 2012 by g_bambino Quote
Guest American Woman Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Thank you AW, those are very kind words. I hope you're anticipating fun times on the 4th! You're welcome - what I said is so true. And thank you; my whole family is here this year, so it will be fun times tomorrow! Quote
