Happy Birthday Canada. Man, the year just flew by so fast. Old age is a high price to pay for maturity.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Canada's Birthday
At least you guys from over the pond know when your country was born so to speak.
Here in the UK I don't think the country has been born and we don't have any national day or independence day holiday just boring bank holidays (Great Name)
Happy Canada day to our colonial cousins.....
Re: Canada's Birthday
23 years ago I stopped at a dry goods store in Atikokan, Ontario to get a fishing license before entering Quetico Park for the first time. The owner of the store, a friendly and helpful old gentleman gave me some good advice about what canoe routes to take, lures to use for catching smallmouth bass and walleye, etc. The thing I remember the most though was him explaining how Canada got its name:
It seems our neighbors up north were pretty taken with we Americans calling our country the USA, so they decided that they would also choose three letters for their country. The legislative body was assembled, letters were carefully placed in a hat, an elder statesman was chosen to pick the letters, and an official scribe was chosen to record the result. After a proper introduction and ceremony the big moment arrived. The three letters were pulled from the hat and read:
"C - eh?"
"N - eh?"
"D - eh?"
So the official recorder wrote down CANADA and a nation was born ......................
HAPPY CANADA DAY !!!!!!!
