Which falls on today, July 1st. As we all know, the symbol of Canada is the Beaver. So, a Happy Canada Day to our Canadian members.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Canada Day (French (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language): Fête du Canada) is the national day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day) of Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada), a federal statutory holiday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Canada) celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_North_America_Acts#British_North_America_A ct.2C_1867) (today called the Constitution Act, 1867 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act,_1867)), which united three colonies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_colonization_of_the_Americas#British_colon ies_in_North_America) into a single country called Canada within the British Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire). Originally called Dominion Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Day) (French (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language): Le Jour de la Confédération), the holiday was renamed in 1982, the year the Canada Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Act_1982) was passed. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as among Canadians internationally.
I wonder if they blow things up too?
