Sounds like a plan to me.

Yeah, it was a joke. Believe me, after spending 26 wonderful years in this country, I don't need any badly-spelled lessons.

As for the cold ones, I believe I may indulge in a brewed-in-Nova-Scotia Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale later this eve. While watching the fireworks from my living room. Living near the lake is great.

Great, now I want some of those Canadian beers. If I was only 21...or living in Canada...

Well, they probably have their own Holidays as well. I'm pretty sure they have some sort of Thanksgiving there or something.

This is the part where someone tells me about the problems we have. I'll admit it's not perfect, but I'd rather live here than anywhere else in the world. We've done a lot in the 230 years since we told the throne where to stick it.

With that said, yeah, Happy Canada Day to our friends in the north. Without y'all we wouldn't have Red Green, Tom Green, or Anne Murray (though, I won't hold the last two against you).

Seriously, I know Canada isn't just Red Green and Hockey, it's jus that those are two of my three favorite exports.

I don't hold that against them, either.

That Wikipedia listing isn't exhaustive, but it's a good general listing. There's also a lot of unofficial holidays. For example, my birthday (Jan25) is also Bobby Burns day (Named for the Scotish Poet & Author Robbert Burns). It's not an official holiday, but a lot of people celibrate it in Canada. (For Bobby Burns, not for me). Fun people, those Scots.

And then you have the various local seasonal festival, expos, fairs, etc. For example, this week it's the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival (it actualy runs for more than a week, but who's counting). Next week, the Fringe Festival starts, and then later it's FolkFest time (that goes for two weeks). Around here we like to try and jam pretty much all the festivals into the summer becasue iot's just too damm cold outside in the fall, spring or winter. Some people keep trying to have a winter carnival, but it's just not very popular around here. Might have something to do with the -30°C weather we keep getting that week.
Oh, and as Ramrod aluded to; we Frozen Canucks who reside in the Great White North celbrate Thanksgiving on a totaly different day (in a totaly different month) than our slighty warmer USA-resident friends do. Thankfully, it's only in November and not in January. If I ever invent a time machine I'm totaly going back in time to move that holiday to a warmer month. Possibly August.
