To all of my Canadian friends have a Happy Canada Day.

Wonderfull mentioned it on one of Lillie's threads and I thought I'd wish y'all the bestest day ever!

Happy Birthday Canada and have a super safe holiday all of you Canucks!

It's offically Canada day, canunks! I wonder what you do out there... You might set off fireworks... you might mix coke and mentos

... I don't know, but I know it's going to be a wonderful day.

We do exactly the same thing everyone else does when the country celebrates a birthday and you get the day off school and work...we sleep in! Then take a 'how-well-do-you-know-your-country' quiz that every newspaper always seems to run on these occasions then later we set-off fireworks.

Although I like the coke and Mentos thing!

Ah thanks! That video clip was really cool, thanks Toon Dog!!

BTW:
The Random House Dictionary notes that: "The term Canuck is first recorded about 1835 as an Americanism, originally referring specifically to a French Canadian. This was probably the original meaning, though in Canada and other countries, "Canuck" refers to any Canadian."

And yes, there will be lots of fireworks (not sure about the coke and mentos...that's new to me!), but coke mixed with other liquids for sure

But as for myself, I'll be doing yardwork (and playing all the new wonderland levels that i'm sure are in the midst of being created at this very moment!)

!

Thanks again!!

I was in Canada camping with friends about 10 years ago on Canada Day and the week to come. The folks that owned the camp ground were so nice! They had fireworks on Canada day and then for all of us Merry Cans they did them again on the 4th of July which of course is our "Independence Day".

You certainly have a beautiful country and some really nice people too!

Ahh gee thanks! I like it here (except in the deepfreeze in the winter, but fortunately we're far enough south at the edge of the Rockies that we get alot of chinooks, so it's not as bad as some places)!!

We're heading to the states next week for a couple of weeks, so we'll get to see some new places we've never seen before...I'm looking forward to it! You have nice people too!!

We're actually flying into Nashville, staying in southern KY with friends, then driving to WV to visit another friend, then down to Orlando for a week. So we'll see a fair bit of your fair country!

Happy Canada Day

I just posted on Bob's new level I noticed it when I flipped my calendar this morning.
I'm a Canuck....I was probably there when I was very very young..I have family up in Canada but can't remember where. Haven't seen them since I was about 7 or 8. They all spoke French, but we had a great time.

Great videos Toondog...thanks for sharing that.

Wonderfull...I hope you have a wonderful vacation, it sure sounds like you will.
