Best wishes and here's hoping everyone around the world gets to celebrate a stress free long weekend with family and friends. May intelligible skip roll for all.
Exactly. Just another work day in Canada. We had our day on July 1 (Canada Day). There were fireworks. Meh.
I will confess that I don't usually turn on the radio on the 4th; I get tired of everyone wishing me a happy 4th and having to explain that Canada is a different country and we don't celebrate it LOL!
You would be dumbfounded and amazed how many people in the U.S. think Canada is the 50th state.
Also, a great many Americans think BC is somewhere up near the North Pole and we have snow year-round (while the forests burn). Guess they don't teach geography down there in the states anymore !

That's like when I tell people that I am from Delaware. They say "What state is that in?".
When I was working in Montreal one year, my wife and I were able to enjoy the celebrations of the first in Canada, then flew home on the third and got to enjoy the celebrations on the fourth. Truly fond memories for sure.
Happy Fourth everyone!
After I get finished talking with some young people, I'm not so sure they're teaching them anything down here.
