Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day every one. It’s like our fourth of july, minus the illegal fireworks. Cheers to all the Canadian lads on here. If you aren’t Canadian, have a beer anyway.

Happy Canada day to all

WHAT DID YOU SAY? eh?

I have a friend who is a US citizen working at a Canadian Consulate in the States. When we get together and drink we always try to think up new slogans for Canada that might appeal to geographically illiterate Americans. The only one I can remember right now is:

Canada: a country north of here.

Not funny. But that’s kind of the point, if there is a point.

Any others?

Oh yeah, and Happy Canada Day.

Your Northern US brethren just across the border salute you! Shit, I might grab the wife and drag her up there tonight! She’s always bitchin’ “you hauled me up here, we’re 15 minutes away from the border, and I still haven’t been to Canada yet!!”.

Yay ! Canada Day !

Have a good holiday my friends to the North.

Thanks gents! Being completely unaware of civic holidays of every kind, I, myself, was taken by surprise this afternoon when I got a phone call:

(Nuyorican accent): “Yo, dude you at the park?”

GM: “Huh? Cruz? No man, I’m at home cleaning up. I got some of those shelves from Ikea, and I was trying to put them together…”

Cruz: “Man! You ain’t at the picnic?”

GM: “There’s a picnic?”

Cruz: “Yo, dude, it’s Canada Day…”

So, off we went, in my Jeep (yes, TT, identical to the last one), carrying large containers of soul food that Cruz had personally made, to the park, where we were greeted with warm hugs, chips, salads, hot dogs, cold drinks, and the attentions of many beautiful women. We laughed, we ate, Cruz chilled on a lawn chair. I solicited talent for my upcoming BBQ, we ate, I helped put out the inevitable grease fire, gave the little kids high fives, and when all was said & done, it was far better than the cleaning… ;)

I’ve never understood the point of Canada day. In July 1, 1867, four disparate British colonies, fearful of American depredations, embodied by continued Fenian raids, banded together for security purposes. We became neither independent nor geographically complete - the last colony to join was Newfoundland in 1949(?).

Happy Canada anyway.

Newfoundland is part of Canada? I always thought of it as another country, bye.

You forgot to mention the part about burning torontonians in effigy.

Yes Windsor Canada, only 10 minutes away from where my ass is parked every night at this time.
Hope you enjoyed your free fireworks Wednesday night.
Casinos, Legalized Prostition, Good Beer, legal age to drink at 18, how could you not like the place.
Where were we?

O’yea, Happy Canada Day

BTW - anytime you guys want to come down here and take Jennifer Granholm back, be my guest - eh.

If you can draw a direct parallel from them to Safeway Brand Pre-Prepared Meat Patties, then yes, it happened. Otherwise, only much teasing of my buddy who escaped the Left Coast to study at Queens.
