Happy Canada Day!
By Ragnarock Raider •
To all my fellow Canucks....and to everyone else:
Hope you all have a very Happy Canada Day!!!
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
I've got a Maple syrup...a REAL one.. I brought it from canada...
They stopped me at the custom in Qatar, as it was in the bottle. I proudly opened the bottle and let them taste it… they liked it so much..I said, next time I will bring 1 bottle to each of them…
..I love pan cakes with the maple syrup.. uuuhhhh.. even though it’s completely harmful for my body shape…
yeah, Gyply, i also was surprised by BCers being more different from Americans, than Quebekers...????
may be ppl don't consider Quebec as part of Canada anymore?? and just ignore this province? ..lol..
Sorry britexpat, didn't see that post. Yup the natives celebrate. This year especially because there was a lot of headway made this year politically.

Canadian women, can not only celebrate teh national day, but also help fight terrorism >
As we all know, the Taliban considers it a sin for a man to see a naked woman who is not his wife. So, this SWaturday at 2:00 PM (Doha time) all Canadian women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighbourhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti- terrorist effort.
All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Taliban, demonstrate that they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all Canadian women.
And since the Taliban also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Taliban sentiment.
The Canadian Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God Bless Canada!
Interesting QS, I had no idea Saskatchewan was the broken hearts capital, and I totally thought Quebekers would claim to be more different from Americans then BCers.

Top 10 reasons to love Canada
10. Tim Hortons
"Coffee addicts unite! ... Who can resist rolling up the rim?" wrote Anne Shelton of Toronto. Yes, we love Tim's coffee, Timbits, Iced Capps frozen cappuccinos, sour cream cake and maple doughnuts -- spelled d-o-u-g-h-n-u-t-s, please, not d-o-n-u-t-s! (See item 56 on this list for more on Canadian spellings.)
9. The beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains, "...still mostly untouched. You can go hiking without running into crowds of people." (Lasha MacLeod, Sherwood Park, Alta.)
8. Fresh water
That includes our lakes to swim and fish in, clean drinking water, rivers, streams and ponds. "The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway are proud parts of our history in discovering the country," said Terri McBride of Hunstville, Ont.
7. Hockey
Included in "Our Game" are CBC's Hockey Night in Canada -- both the show and its former theme song -- as well as national teams: The Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens, Cheers to our women's teams too. In Canada, hockey is "the sport that brings friends and communities together," said Kim O'Reilly, Calgary, Alta.
6. Health care
Barbara White of Barrie, Ont. said it best: "Having a husband diagnosed with cancer at 33 and, 10 years later, still waking up beside him and watching our children grow together makes me thankful every day that I am a Canadian. I have not had to get a second or third job, still have a house without having to sell it all in order to pay medical bills!"
5. Freedom
We're overwhelmingly grateful for our freedom of speech and religion; for our nation's independence and democracy, and for our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A reader named Linda wrote in to say: "In Canada, a democratic country, we enjoy the freedom to live our lives pretty much as we choose."
4. Our changing seasons
"Canadians enjoy talking about the weather and are often disgruntled by the extreme heat and cold. But the changing of the seasons gives us not only something to talk about, but also to look forward to." (Cheryl Telford, Newmarket, Ont.)
3. The Canadian character
You described Canadians as friendly, polite, generous, warm, open-minded, forgiving, humble, welcoming, caring, curious and honest.
"It's the people that make a country great and we have a great country with outstanding people -- young and old." (Beth Corrigan Jenish, Oshawa, Ontario.)
2. The landscape
Vast, clean, diverse and green -- those are some of the words you used to describe our home and native land. "Whether travelling east to west or west to east, we truly have a beautiful country to be proud of," said Cheryl Telford.
And...1. Multiculturalism
"From our people, our landscape, our culture(s), food, etc., the very fabric of Canada is a patchwork quilt, full of colours and textures and richness," says Linda.
happy canada day to my canadian friends.. :)
