Thanks rmr! You beat me to the computer.
HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my fellow Canadians.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA AND MANY MORE!
(Sorry, I'm shouting)
Thanks
I'm spending my Canada Day writing...and having a drink later
My Dad too is a Canadian so if I had of known I would have declared a day off for me in Australia.
Happy day to you Canadians. Gee, did you get a public holiday for that?
Oh yes, we certainly do! Fireworks, the whole bit. Much like the U.S. fourth of July festivities.
HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYBODY!
Bit of trivial history: it used to be called Dominion Day in honour of when we received dominion over our country from Britain. We called it Dominion Day when I was a kid.
RMR, I can't wish you half a Happy Canada Day, so I'm wishing you a whole one with a butter tart on top.
Well, I had yummy yogurt and I'm drinking a cooler. I'm just wild aren't I?
Hopefully, I can see some fireworks from my apartment. I've been listing to bangs for the past 4 nights but not seeing anything.
I'm going to have a beer after I finish my bagel. Then I'm going to write 6 articles for a client.
Susan, we both celebrate the same way.
Last year on this day, my sister and I were in Arizona. We took Canadian flags and hung them over our pool chairs. Nobody seemed to notice.
Wow, 6 articles. And I'm worn out researching 3 and writing one
Yeah, well don't get too excited, I only managed to get one done and with a lot of grumbling from me the whole time. Finally finished it this evening and it turned out pretty good, but I'm disgusted about only one out of the way. It's a lot faster with more research details available.
I had company all day! To my utter disgust, we've started testing the punch at 10:30 this morning, and finally had it perfected about 10:30 tonight. A friend son brought forworks over, and made a lot of noise.So I'm giggly, everythings funny. I'm staying up for another 20 minutes then Canada day's over, then I'm going to grab a couple of Advil and I'm going to bed. Needless to say I didn't get any writing done. Goodnight Gang.zs
I'm half Canadian. Perhaps more than half, since my mum's Canadian (still a citizen, though she lives & works here on a green card), and my dad's American but grew up there.
I should have taken half a day off, but there's just too much to do around here!
I declare a special holiday, how about July 15th as a special day for all the half Canadians.
Full Canadians and full Americans can only have half a day...then
happy Belated Canada Day, I just moved and spent most of yesterday organizing.
I missed Canada Day! I was out hunting wild butter tarts!!
RMR told me he saw them running wild, all over the place. I didn't see 'em though. I think he was just trying to get me out of the house, for a while. When I got back, I could smell them in the house. I haven't found them yet, though.
I was sitting with my quivering mess of a dog last night listening to the fireworks. She's not a fan of loud noises!
What a great Canada Day it was. We finally have summer weather here on the west coast and I'm so happy to see the sun. Yay!

Just wondering if there are any other Canadians here. I'm sure there are, but I haven't come across any. I'm from Ontario, I go to school in Waterloo but am originally from Mississauga (Toronto).

There must be others like me who are happy with HubPages right now? Having fun with their writing? Pleased with their earnings? Enthused for the New Year and all the new ideas to come?

are there many canadians on hubpages?it seems that if there are canadians on here they don't seem to care or think about the politics of our country very much. why is that?

I noticed that this Canadian forum hasn't been touched for a while, so I'd like to ask fellow Canadians where you are from, and where else you have lived in Canada(if anywhere)?I live in Winnipeg now, but I've lived in Alberta (Calgary and area, Fort Vermilion, Red Deer, Edmonton), Cranbrook, B.C....
