[AvsGirl41]

Of course it is. They named a Will Smith movie after it.

Would anyone have seen a movie called Canada Day?

So what will you all do for Canada Day?

What type of traditions/activities do you normally do?

Regardless of what you do, I hope you all have a good time. I've come to believe that most of the best posters here in Interference are all Canadian. (A very attractive female acquaintance of mine is also Canadian ) Maybe I should move north, what do you think?

Happy Canada Day

although, posting here in Interference feels like Canada Day EVERYDAY

[MissVelvetDress_75]

what is the meaning of this holiday?

 

[verte76]

Happy Canada Day!!

 

[maro_chik]

Yay, Happy Canada Day!

I'm probably going to a BBQ and then to see some fireworks if it doesn't rain.

 

[zonelistener]

what is the meaning of this holiday?

I asked the same thing....and the response:

"Before 1982, Canada Day had been known as Dominion Day, First of July, Confederation Day, and July the First. Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," therefore the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day." Dominion Day was officially renamed "Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982. This change reflected the policy of successive governments to downplay Canada's colonial origins. Canada's national celebration is always observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday. In which case it is observed the following day."


So, I ask...when is the Revolution? Get rid of those colonial ties. Become independent!

thank you chris for the the info

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

We don' t eat this thing you call "BBQ" in Canada.
and we don't have fireworks.

Zoni is correct, but it is much more simple to say that Canada Day is Canada's birthday! Canada is 136 years old today, as confederation was 1867.

Happy Birthday Canada!!!

There's so much going on here right now...bands playing in the parks...traffic is a standstill. Fireworks tonight!!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

yes cut those british ties and have a independence celebration like us.

And this all extends into another birthday celebration tomorrow, right?

 

[Michael Griffiths]

LOL, we are completely independent - that's what confederation was!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

You got it, Zoner. That's why I moved here!

 

[zonelistener]

You got it, Zoner. That's why I moved here!

WHAT?

You are not a native of Canada?

I feel so icky (let me translate for you Canadians... icky = ishy)

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

I am Canada.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

WHAT?

You are not a native of Canada?

I feel so icky (let me translate for you Canadians... icky = ishy)

Haha, I'm actually a dual citizen. I moved here when I was 5, so I'm more Canadian than anything else (having spent 21 years of my life here, lol)...but technically, I'm also British.
