Happy Canada Day!

I still refer to July 1st as Dominion Day! Getting old I guess!

To the Royal Newfoundland Regiment killed at the Battle of the Somme, many decades ago on July 1st;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

"By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."

"One of the strongest and most valued assets of the Crown is the stability and continuity it can bring from the past into the present. My mother once said that this country felt like a 'home away from home' for the Queen of Canada. Ladies and gentlemen, six decades later, it still does and it is good to be back."
