Yes, I just learned about that. We get so wrapped up on our own holidays and days of tribute that we forget that those in other countries have theirs as well.

So, Happy Canada Day for all our Canadian friends, or perhaps this is just as appropriate:

To all of our friends, Happy Canada Day.
I spent Centenial day a few years back with friends in Innisville, Ontario. They knew how to party. it was great fun for all.
I saved this car that I collected because of the fond memories.

Dear Andrew,
It is a Tyco car. They did make cars for almost all occasions.

Hope everyone had a great day and got to enjoy some fireworks.

I live in a small bedroom community(population 400) outside Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and our town had some celebrations for the first time this year. We had a pancake breakfast, softball tournament, rib supper, bear gardens Cheers , fireworks, and even a parade. The parade was unique as it started with a firetruck, followed by about 30-50 kids on bikes decorated with flags, and lastly another fire truck. And to top it off the ball diamonds are right beside the CN mainline so we got to watch a CN freight go by about every 30 minutes.

It was a great way to spend the day,

PS I feel sorry for the folks who had to go to work this morning and are feeling a little "morning after" sickness. :peasoup:
