Canada Day πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Do you guys get today off or what

Happy Constitution Act of 1867!

Yes, it’s a regular 4th of July type of day. Nobody works (except me I guess).Every store is closed. Lots of face-painting type of activities, fireworks everywhere tonite. Big family/kids day, and more recently there’s some first nations recognitions.

In our little town we had an indigeneous sunrise ceremony at 7am. Every year I think I’m going to go, every year it’s like 7am and I’m at home enjoying my coffee so, no.

I do miss having a huge serving of 5cent chicken wings back in Ottawa (this was 90s so probably a lot more expensive now) during Canada Day celebrations.

We usually ended up near the Parliament buildings/Canal area if it was a sunny day.

Did you ever see a guy on the lawn reading all day?

Shoot. I forgot this thread existed when I posted my Canada Day greetings in the <> US thread.

lol a few. Usually with a few beers in hand.

So much flag waving this July 1. More like an American 4th of July than a Canadian celebration!
