Happy Canada Day 2023 🇨🇦

[DukeCanBuildit]

Happy Canada Day to all the Canadian forum members and site visitors.

For everyone else, it’s the day we celebrate our Independence from Britain and colonial rule (July 1, 1867). Unlike the U.S., which gained its independence through revolution, we gained ours when Sir John A. Macdonald won a rousing best two out of three match of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

So, today is the day we have family get togethers, picnics, BBQs, fireworks, and many of us proudly fly the Canadian Flag…

Happy Canada Day Duke!

I take advantage of my dual nationality and celebrate both independence days.

If only I could get real poutine today, but we're settling for tacos and margaritas (a French-Canadian tradition, sez moi).

Happy Independence Day to all Canucks and even to us frogs (even though we frogs somehow think it would be brilliant to secede).

Thanks - I hope you’re enjoying it as well. Camping again?

If they had cameras in 1867, we’d all see that is exactly how it went down!

Happy Canada Day David - you really get the best of both worlds!

No, not this weekend. We were supposed to go to a friend's cottage on an island on the lake, but there's some emergency septic repairs happening, so that's a no go...

Now it's a quiet weekend at home, and fireworks over Lake Ontario.
How about you, what did you get up to?

Did anyone else get that video all foggy, or is that just what we can see due to all of the forest fires?

Sounds relaxing. For me, it was a quick, very early trip down to Toronto from the cottage to cut the grass and make the place presentable (currently listed for sale), then back up to the cottage (Kincardine - 3 hr drive - each way).

Happy Hour on the beach and a BBQ. Waiting for the fireworks to start in town, just up the lake from us.
