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!

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. :rolleyes:

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. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist)

My biggest takeaway from economics is that the past wasn't as good as you remember, the present isn't as bad as you think, and the future will be better than you anticipate. Morgan Housel http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/01/14/things-im-pretty-sure-about.aspx

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...

Have a fun one, a safe one, and 'have one for me' (or two, if you're so inclined. :P ))! - 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. :)

Exactly. Special like the short bus.

Socialist and Rick are the most special people on this site! :P

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. :P pffffft! so there.

Thank you AW, those are very kind words. I hope you're anticipating fun times on the 4th!

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.

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!
