Happy Canada Day!
A few years ago, I took a train from Seattle to Vancouver (a beautiful trip), and when we crossed the border, everyone was wearing red and having picnics in parks we passed. People were waving at us on the train, even the kids. I remember thinking Canadians really ARE nice. When we were kids, we used to flip off passing trains and throw rocks! I later discovered it was Canada Day, and spent the evening watching fireworks and smoking a Montecristo No. 4 across the bay in North Vancouver. Pretty stellar!

Indeed, a hearty Happy Canada Day! We too often forget what a faithful ally you have been to us through the years.
Happy Canada Day! I'm sorry about the extreme weather up in British Columbia, and hope the day is a good one up there and through Canada, one of my favorite places to visit.
God keep our land glorious and free!
I live in a province where the vote to join Canada is still, just barely, in living memory. It’s quite a story.
And I love the taste of unironic pride one finds in the 1906 English translation of the French original lyrics:

I've respectfully stood, before a game for "Oh Canada" hundreds of times. Indeed, happy Canada Day to our tried and true friends, staunch ally they have been. Well, except for that wee trouble back in 1812. Forgiven but, obviously not forgotten.
I’ve only been to Canada twice. I really enjoyed the sights, history, and people.
Victoria was great and Vancouver was ok on the west coast but, really enjoyed Halifax, Lunenburg, and Chester on the east coast.
I could see living the quiet life in Nova Scotia. It’s great.
Happy Canada Day to our neighbors up north ??

I knew you had something to do with it Tom!
The East Coast is pretty great, I visited there several years ago. I had no idea New Brunswick had so many trees in it.
Happy Canada Day.
Maybe I'll go light up a bowl from my $60 tin of Sunset Harbor Flake to celebrate.

Happy Canada Day, despite all the "white man" hating going on at the moment.
I've been saying for a while that I have no intention of staying in Canada and every passing day re-enforces that idea.
Yeah I've been trying to convince myself for a long time that it's not so, but this country sucks. It use to be the greatest country on earth, unfortunately
Happy Belated Canada Day! My wife always gets homesick on Canada Day so I had a whole load Montreal bagels delivered to Orlando to give her a taste of home. I’m not a bagel person but they sure smell great having been cooked in a wood oven.
There's really no other place to defect to, you know? The reports from all over tell the whole world is a hellhole.
When the cancel vulture is circling that's when we must redouble on patriotism and rejection of historic revisionism; when the finger is pointed it's not the time to "take a knee" but to raise the chin. The vultures only land when the bodies below are dead, you know?
I'm not ashamed of my country because of the cancel rabble or the multi-million grievance industry or Clown Socks in Ottawa: these do not speak for us nor do they represent us.
If you're feeling ashamed and starting to diss or hate Canada, they've already won.

For the record, you've been ranked #14 on the "World Happiness Report" for 2021 (not sure if that includes Ontario) and slightly higher than these formerly United States down here.
