Canada Day Celebration
It's coming up. It falls on a Tuesday this year.
What are some of you guys planning for that long, long weekend (if you're lucky to get Monday and Tuesday off).
List events here, too, for those who are looking for stuff to do.
I haven't been to a good parade in a long time...........
Oh, I've seen these covers that go over your car's side mirrors (Canadian Red Maple Leaf). I saw one downtown today and asked dude where he got it. Dollar store, he said. Has anyone seen them? As in which dollar store?

I asked for Monday off and was informed that the whole office is closed Monday because in the words of my boss it makes no fucking sense to work Monday and take Tuesday off so 4 day weekend.
If the weather is good we usually go to the Canada Day Event in Cloverdale, music, rides and generally a good time as long as the ground is dry. If it's wet not worth going, it's a giant mudpit. I think it's probably the biggest Canada Even in BC.

Fireworks over the lake are pretty decent. Just watch out for the stampede of people when it's over.

Today's all about rest for me, have been off work for the last 2 weeks, feels like forever, I don't know how im gonna be able to crawl into work at 7AM tomorrow morning.
Happy Canada Day!
We are so fortunate to live in such a magnificent country. It's not perfect, but man, I would not live anywhere else. So we pay a lot of taxes and everything costs so much more. Would you want to raise your kids anywhere else? Thanks, grandpa, for having the guts to travel across the ocean to this great place and making this our home.
I hope the new immigrants truly call this their home and help make this country even more magnificent. Travel this vast country to see what it's really all about. Try to understand what it is to be Canadian.
I am so proud to be a Canadian all 365-1/4 days.
How well do you know Canada?
Take the quiz: How well do you know Canadiana? | Globalnews.ca (http://globalnews.ca/news/667795/take-the-quiz-how-well-do-you-know-canadiana/)
It's a lame quiz.......... mostly about celebrities. Would have been better if it was about Canadian milestones, inventions, contributions, and history.
"Our Canada, Our Home" on Shaw TV (channel 4) right now......... pretty funny and informative.
