There's a decent quiz in the paper today, on things every Canadian should know. Somewhat oriented toward politics and history, and eastern Canada. Divided into several categories, each with answers below:
 Land and landscape
 Famous Canadians
 Culture, sports and the arts
 War and remembrance
 Pre-Confederation history
 Post-Confederation history
 Citizenship and government
 Politics and politicians
 Controversy and scandal

And a merry maple leafed day I hope it is for all Canucks!

If Don Cherry didn't exist, it WOULD be necessary to invent HIM!!! LOL

Oh no, Jim! I actually like the way Canada is going!

They're actually growing a set. KInda like Germany and France telling our commie-in-chief that they're FED {get it?) up with his shit!!!!

Obama is a puppet for foreign forces. Look at what he's done.....

OK, bluering, all you have to do is close your eyes, click your ruby-red JBs together, and say three times "There's no place like home." Before you know it, you'll be a Canadian.

But don't forget Toto, aka Maggie, eh?

This is supposed to be a Happy Canada Day thread, not some poli rant, bluering.

Happy Canada Day! Cheers to our friendly neighbors to the north.

WORLD SURVEY BY PHONE

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the United Nations.
The only question asked was: "Could you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a massive failure because of the following:
1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
3. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
8. In Canada they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.

Recently purchased a canoe.
It has built in coolers under stern and bow seats.
Each cooler fits 12 cans perfectly.
There are five drink holders built into seats.
The stern (pilot) seat has no drink holder. Sensible, eh?
Gonna stock er' up and hit the lake today.
And celebrate w/ my favorite country in the World!
Here's to Canada!
Cheers to all!

Reilly, I suspect that the monarchy will be abolished in Canada not long after the incumbent - Elizabeth I - dies. Most Canadians don't care any more, and the unlovely Charles seems likely to tip the balance. I'd guess we'll go with an elected president, with limited (mostly emergency) powers. There'll be a temporary fillip with Kate and William, but that will die down quickly.

(Canada has never had a 'ruling' queen named Elizabeth before. Strictly speaking, she's Elizabeth II (of England and Wales), and Elizabeth I (of Scotland, Canada, Australia, etc.)

It should also be noted that 1 July is considered as Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador to commemorate the losses experienced by the Newfoundland Regiment during their attack at Beaumont Hamel on the first day of the Somme offensive.

Wow! Hard to be the post that follows that last post by Squishy.



HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

What's up with the William & Kate royal wedding tour of Canada not going to Vancouver??

Are you folks being punished for "Hockey Hooliganism???" or for "Consorting with the Commie Chinese???"
