It’s Canada Day Up Canada way On the first day of July (Sorry, Stompin’ Tom. That’s all I can remember.) Happy Canada Day to my northern neighbours! 🙂 ---

why, thanks, Johnny. I’m sitting here, doping and toasting the 133rd birthday with a nice bottle of Shaftebury Honey Pale Ale, from Vernon, B.C. Bonne fête, Canada! Here’s some links: [Wave that Flag!](http://www.canoe.ca/CanadaDay/flag.html) [Confederation](http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/confed/e-1867.htm) [Farmer’s Advocate, July 1, 1867](http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/confed/docs/doc00002.htm) I had some more, but wouldn’t you know it - the Heritage Canada site is down tonight! To spare myself more ridicule from Arnold, I’ll not post them - try again tomorrow. ---

Damn you, I wanted to post this. Oh well. Happy Canada Day to any relatives I might have left in Canada, and to any and all people that might want to have me say “Happy Canada” to them. ---

Canada Day is coming rapidly to a close. Just 5 1/4 more hours, by my watch. I hope all of you in _North_ North America had a good one! 🙂 ---

Have a great Canada Day everyone! - Be safe - don’t drive if you had a few. (It’s the #1 - weekend for highway deaths.) ---

Okay, I’ll play nice. Happy Canada Day to all my pals north of the border. I’ve always liked your country and wouldn’t scream too loud if I had to move there. Can’t say that about many places. We need a Mountie smilie. ---
