    Happy Canada Day!!!!


    I shall spend the day in Osborne Village in Winterpeg drinking on a patio and listening to free bands.
    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

    It's the day that we celebrate our great nation by drinking as much beer as possible. Then we paint nudes of politicians.

    Oh, I see. It's July 1st? You must mean Dominion day.

    Well, in Trafalgar Square, it was clearly called Canada Day.

    The 'Canada Act' was proclaimed in 1982. BK is only off by 30 years this time.

    From July 5, 2006, one of my crude early efforts:

    PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN

    Oh if I have to leave tomorrow
    To avoid the army draft
    Make a living skinning beavers
    Saying "eh" and sounding daft

    I'll be glad I didn't risk my neck
    And that I drive a hybrid car
    And though we don't do anything
    We're better than you by faaaaar...

    (chorus)
    And I'm proud to be a Canadian
    Though nobody gives a ****
    My country is a joke to all
    But I'm mighty fond of it.
    And I'll swiftly kick you in the shins
    When you say that curling's "gay,"
    With nothing worth invading for,
    We're safer every day!

    We import all your culture
    Since we have none of our own
    And in return we give you weather
    That freezes to the bone

    You say we're good for nothing
    We're idle folk, it's true;
    But if we wanted worthwhile lives
    We could do it better than yoooouuu....

    (repeat chorus endlessly)

    No actually it's not. It was Dominion Day up until 1982 when the name was officially changed to Canada Day. That isn't "repainting", it is "renaming". To the best of my knowledge paint wasn't even part of the process.

    The past is history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.

    Ben, wake up.

    Women have equal rights.
    Blacks have equal rights.
    Gays have equal rights.
    Dominion day is now Canada day.

    Dominion day is now Canada day.
    Then why is it celebrated on the 1st of July? The 1st of July has always been Dominion Day.
