"Hi Cynthia, just a reminder that
Canada Day is just one week away!
Canada Day: July 1st
........
What was the original name of Canada Day?
Canada Day was originally called Dominion Day."
Cool, huh?
It truly was, especially if like me you dug sparklers.
I remember being there for a couple of them before we came here and started watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Now Canada does fireworks _all_the_time--like the US does.
Not an improvement for either country. Too many big, noisy celebrations too often times a year. Yeah, I know. There's nothing more exciting for a certain subset of boys-to-men than fire/works and risking losing a finger. Sheesh. It's started here already in prep for this Fourth of July. My dog hates it. We close the windows but she still hears quite well.
Contemplating the "big" storms coming. We'll see how the cable and Internet hold this time. Should be interesting.
Cheers!
Oh yeah, the rest of my "Canada Day" reminder.
"Canada day celebrates the creation of the dominion of Canada, or the uniting of 3 British territories- The provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single federation. The name was not changed to Canada Day until 1982."
Time to find your party hats and get ready to celebrate.
