Yes, Happy Canada Day to all our neighbors to the north. And this is coming from an American who actually knows things about Canada. Like the name of your Prime Minister (Paul Martin) and that it's not Newfoundland but Newfoundland-Labrador. And the names of your Provinces and Territories and some of their capitals. And that you recently had this big vote about something that if this one woman who is usually Conservative hadn't switched her vote at the last minute and sided with Labor, then you would have had to call for a new government. Do I have that right?

If you admire England, you're an Anglophile, France, a Francophile. Is there such a word as Canadaphile? 'Cause if there is, then I am one! And every Canadian I've told that to has always screwed up their faces and said: "Why?!" Well stop doing that! Canada is great country (I'm pretty sure--I haven't actually been there)! So go celebrate what's great about your country and your culture you crazy Canucks, you! Happy Canada Day!

I may be wrong, but, I was under the impression (from watching the movie CANADIAN BACON)that in Canada everything has to be printed in English and French?

So, here you go.....
le jour heureux de Canada

In Quebec, that's part of the deal. But in Saskatchewan, it's no big deal. I think the only people here who speak french are all in Gravelbourg (small town half an hour away from my old hometown of Mossbank).

I just got back from Regina's biggest Canada Day celebration ever. We werealso celebrating Saskatchewan's centennial. Pretty much the entire city gathered in Wascana Park and saw K-OS and GREAT BIG SEA perform live and for free in an outdoor concert. Some fireworks followed afterwards, but GREAT BIG SEA was the true highlight.

If you've never heard of them, I demand that you go to Canada just to get some of their albums. If you can see them live, it's a hundred times better. They're a band from Newfoundland that can be described as "maritime rock". This is some of the best stuff you'll ever hear. They're HUGE in Canada and their stuff is just gold. I havn't listened to them in years, but their stuff really brings back memories. And I actually got a good view of the band, despite being in a crowd that must've numbered in the hundreds of thousands. They actually said that this is the biggest attendance for any outdoor concert in the history of the city. So I was definitly hyped. Mind you, jumping up and down, pumping your fists in the air and singing along to these songs will definitly make you lose 5 pounds overnight.

This has been the best Canada Day I've experienced.

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

Thank you for the correction.

I'll hang my head in shame as long as you promise not to invade our capital city; Toronto

And yes, Great Big Sea ROCKS!!!

LOL I think you are safe from invasion! Unless that talentless fool Micheal Moore :disapointed: decides to do a film about Toronto's conspiracy to take over the world
