Happy Canada Day, you Canadiens!

[cjj]

Yes, to our neighbors to the north (heck they're only 40 miles away), Happy Canada Day!

We'll all be flying our maple leaf flags for you (of course, around here we always do anyway )...

[gregga41]

Enjoy your celebrations guys! All the best from another colony!!

As an expatriate from formerly Baja British Columbia, allow me to extend my felicitations and expressions for a safe and happy Canada Day, and my thanks to Dr. John McLaughlin. (Bone up on yer Canadian history then, eh?)

In days of yore, from Britain's shore,
Wolfe, the dauntless hero came,
And planted firm Britannia's flag,
On Canada's fair domain.
Here may it wave, our boast, our pride,
And joined in love together,
The thistle, shamrock, rose entwine
The Maple Leaf forever!

Chorus:
The Maple Leaf, our emblem dear,
The Maple Leaf forever!
God save our Queen, and Heaven bless,
The Maple Leaf forever!

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side,
For freedom, homes, and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield them never!
Our watchword evermore shall be,
The Maple Leaf forever!
Chorus:

Our fair Dominion now extends
From Cape Race to Nootka Sound;
May peace forever be our lot,
And plenteous store abound:
And may those ties of love be ours
Which discord cannot sever,
And flourish green o'er freedom's home
The Maple Leaf forever!
Chorus:

On merry England's far famed land
May kind heaven sweetly smile,
God bless old Scotland evermore
and Ireland's Em'rald Isle!
And swell the song both loud and long
Till rocks and forest quiver!
God save our King and Heaven bless
The Maple Leaf forever!

Hmmm.........left out Wales, I see.

Today is a great day to celebrate the birthday of Canada. This is a great country and I am proud to call it my home. I would not want it any other way. I moved here in 1965 and after a few initial misgivings I have never looked back. The words to Oh Canada have such a huge meaning to me and I will cherish my acceptance as a citizen forever.

[8mileshigher]

Best wishes to all .... are you RRFers going to do a little confluencing around Canada to celebrate ?

[longhouse]

Canada. More than just America's hat!

Happy Canada Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goofyfoot]

July 1, 1867 ~~ British North America Act.......a seminal moment. Aiming good wishes at my good neighbors to the north! Best regards.......Goofyfoot.

Hey, Canada, have a happy birthday! Nice having you for neighbors; you're all so quiet and clean and so nicely spread out, and such good sports about all the noise and brawling going on next door.

Happy Canada Day!
