In our particular area of Quebec very little celebration of Canada Day is observed. There is a parade in Montreal but in most lesser communities, nothing.

I always spend Canada Day drinking, eating poutine, and watching videos of Don Cherry and the '72 Russia-Canada hockey series. From sunrise to sunset. By the end of the day I am totally incoherent and virtually brain dead, eh? But it's worth it.

rags... the link does not work for me.

In any case, I am appreciative of the fact that Lester got the new flag flying and let The Union Jack off.

In that case, gnu, I'm glad that the link doesn't work for you.

"I always spend Canada Day drinking, eating poutine, and watching videos of Don Cherry and the '72 Russia-Canada hockey series."

Sounds like a pretty good day!

Only thing I would add is a toast to the Vets!

Poutine râpée. Not that crap from La Belle Provice, I hope.

My Granny, born during Queen Victoria's rein, absolutely despised The Maple Leaf, referring to it as "That Red Rag". Rather unkind words for a practising Anglican! I think if "Mike" had been a Conservative, as opposed to a Liberal, she may have thought differently.
Irregardless of Granny's condemnations, I fly The Maple Leaf with pride, but I also fly the "Union Flag" as it was our flag at my birth!

Congratulations, Canada. Enjoy your day.

I wish I were there, right now.
