Happy Birthday, Nation of mine...
Happy Canada Day!!
Even though the act of Confederation (Officially known as "The British North America Act") happened 138 years ago today, we celebrate a long, rich and incredibly diverse history that spans the better part of a millenium (thank you, Leif Ericsson for getting itchy feet to see what lay beyond Iceland and Greenland.)
Oh, to be at the Party on The Hill now that July 1 is here.
This day is also a tribute to the members of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment, as they pause to remember the battle at Beaumont-Hamel. Lest We Forget.

*Oh Canada.
Our home and native land.
True patriot love...*
Sorry, everytime I see the Mapleleaf I break into song.
Okay Mossy. Hit the link for the Beaumont regiment. Room got a bit dusty, if you know what I mean.
Canada seems wonderful, and the picture of the assembly building (or parliament? Sorry, forgot) in Ottowa truly is absolutely beautiful.
And, frankly, New England seems a lot more in step with Canada then the rest of the nation (which my office mates call "Jesusland"). Maybe we should succede.
no, kal- only south carolina gets to secede. i heard a rumor awhile back that our state legislature votes whether or not to secede on a yearly basis.
i'm so glad i'm not a native.
Okay, we'll take New England & South Carolina (cuz we need someplace warm) and we'll give the States Quebec, deal?
Hey wait we dont want the french. And I feel somewhat left out here P.
Sorry I missed your country's birthday. A belated "Happy" to you and yours.
